DNC using Bernie (again)

Clicked on the MJ article link from here about the homeschool "how your abuse can benefit you" checklist. (Disgusting, BTW.)

What popped up but a DNC ad - are you ready to vote for a real progressive like Bernie or Hillary? With mug shots.

My middle finger reflex was activated. I almost dropped the Kindle. (Wouldn't have seen the ad on my laptop.)

Yeah, they're supposed to support all Democrats. Yeah, I'm convinced they lean toward corporate Democrats. So sue me.

Hillary? "Real progressive"? Riiiiiiiiiight......

1. You can see it here in DU. "Clinton and Sanders are close on many issues, like GMO's."

It's bullcrap of course. Does anyone else think it's interesting that Clinton supporters are trying so hard to make us believe that Clinton is almost like Sanders? That she is really progressive, really. Forget how she helped Bush lie about WMD, she is really progressive.

I will attack Hillary at every opportunity that I can get away with. I did an op in GD that pissed off a lot of people. Pissed them off because the title was a direct copy paste from the link source. Yea it wasn't an accurate title but boy it sure did get people looking at Hillary for hiring an x-Monsanto shill to work for her. Until the primary is over I am on full attack.

commented. Their only counter to where Clinton stands on issues is to attack messengers/sources.

6. Just to be clear. Bernie supports the labeling of GMOs and even introduced legislation

to make it the law, as it is in every other civilized nation. He accused Monsanto of killing his bill airc. And I do not doubt it.

Hillary supports HMOs.

They are killing small farmers, both literally, see India eg, and driving them out of the business that made it possible for them to survive for generations and to provide for their families.

She and Bernie are on opposite sides of the political spectrum.
