When did Hillary "acknowledge she is toxic"? Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #7

Never. The toxicity is all on the other side, which will continue to invoke her name ... Hekate Mar 2022 #11

I am curious about this also LetMyPeopleVote Mar 2022 #13

This isn't about Hillary running again. It's about a site that appears to be a Russian asset, pnwmom Mar 2022 #8

We also lost many great Duer's because of them. Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #15

I don't think the OP is about Hillary at all.Mentioning her places the discussion at a point in time Hekate Mar 2022 #10

Yup...tantrum is the correct word. Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #17

Exactly, Hekate. You've read my mind! n/t pnwmom Mar 2022 #19

I've never thought the JPR members are really "left." yardwork Mar 2022 #88

True, it's not about politics. Pessimism, cynicism, needing to be a victim, resentment, emotion. betsuni Mar 2022 #91

Misogyny absolutely played a role. "Who does she think she is..." yardwork Mar 2022 #92

Misogyny was the central basis of JPR in my opinion jcgoldie Mar 2022 #96

They do seem to like authoritarian men, eh? yardwork Mar 2022 #97

Bingo! We now know a lot of Sanders' were LW authoritarian followers, Hortensis Mar 2022 #114

Half misogyny, half "misogyny, once removed" I think bobacatt Mar 2022 #107

They swore up and down they loved Elizabeth Warren, would totally vote for her. betsuni Mar 2022 #111

JPR called her Pocahontas, just like Trump. betsuni Mar 2022 #115

They only liked her as long as she played handmaiden to Bernie bobacatt Mar 2022 #128

They drove me off DU for about 6 months. And as bad as that time was, Itchinjim Mar 2022 #32

I think it was worse in 2016, because Hillary had endorsed Obama within 4 days pnwmom Mar 2022 #104

2008 was pretty bad though. Elessar Zappa Mar 2022 #108

I don't agree with everything I see on DU or anywhere else. yardwork Mar 2022 #94

JPR was always an altar to demigods. It was formed specifically to worship one politician. Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #38

Ah. That is true. Makes sense. bobacatt Mar 2022 #109

I visited JPL a few times, too, but quickly got bored and annoyed. Ocelot II Mar 2022 #102

Manny really trashed Hillary relentlessly here, though. And anyone who supported her. Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #118

Many on JPR do NOT vote with us at the end of the day. My impression is that the majority don't. pnwmom Mar 2022 #52

👍🏼 herding cats Mar 2022 #54

Well, I'm not completely happy with Biden either.. Xolodno Mar 2022 #57
