47. as to "the gendered ways in which Hillary Clinton is characterized"

Thu Apr 2, 2015, 05:42 PM

they are impossible to ignore. That anyone could talk about her pantsuits in any political discussion is ridiculous. (The equivalent would be discussing Trump's chimp like hair.) Similarly discussions of her supposedly "abrasive" personality. Pure discrimination.

Funny thing that in all the promotion of the cult of the individual there is no recognition or mention of the essential sociopathic behavior that underlies it.

Only a large grassroots effort will get the US to public financing of elections. The current system works so well for the rich and their robed servants on the SCOTUS.

Like a god damn saint who would not legalize discrimination NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #3

Oh no! Every other Democrat has been killed? jeff47 Apr 2015 #7

She did not handle the email non-issue well. I cringed throughout the entire speech. libdem4life Apr 2015 #4

agree about Monday morning quarterbacking guillaumeb Apr 2015 #5

Agreed. It forced her out defensively and it didn't need to...that was my point. I'm feeling libdem4life Apr 2015 #6

true. but why do progressives often have to settle guillaumeb Apr 2015 #8

My best hope for turning the tide our way is Julian Castro as VP. It won't happen overnight. libdem4life Apr 2015 #12

I must confess I did not recognize the name guillaumeb Apr 2015 #17

You'll quickly see why the right wingers hate him/them. libdem4life Apr 2015 #23

thank you. guillaumeb Apr 2015 #29

Mine as well. He would disintegrate Jeb's play for the Hispanic vote. misterhighwasted Apr 2015 #33

That's why I posted his Mom's bio...they are the epitome of the American Dream, especially for libdem4life Apr 2015 #35

Progressives "settle", Progressive Democrats vote for whoever earned the nomination. great white snark Apr 2015 #14

Yeah, look how the Tea Party has had no effect on Republicans. They do nothing but settle. jeff47 Apr 2015 #20

I am not disappointed in that sense guillaumeb Apr 2015 #22

And before the speech, she kept reviving the story. jeff47 Apr 2015 #9

That would have been the best of all options. It surely did provide cover for The Repub Letter. libdem4life Apr 2015 #13

What a bunch of nonsense. Do you agree with the article that Obama and Clinton are war criminals? tritsofme Apr 2015 #10

I did not write the article guillaumeb Apr 2015 #11

So your answer is yes? Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are war criminals? tritsofme Apr 2015 #15

only the Internationl Court at the Hague can answer that. guillaumeb Apr 2015 #21

Well as long as it was *within the law*, because that's all that matters during war time! villager Apr 2015 #24

So now you are equating President Obama and Hillary Clinton with Nazis? tritsofme Apr 2015 #26

not the Nazi comparison? guillaumeb Apr 2015 #27

I am saying there's a long standing tradition -- in America -- of "the law" not being an excuse villager Apr 2015 #30

How much influence did Hillary have in the disaster of joining a Civil War in LIbya? bvar22 Apr 2015 #16

great point guillaumeb Apr 2015 #18

when one cannot argue the facts or alleegations guillaumeb Apr 2015 #28

Facts you don't have is the number of people which was not killed by the terrorists. Of course this Thinkingabout Apr 2015 #31

I am unsure of your meaning guillaumeb Apr 2015 #32

But..but..we're supposed to overlook those crimes as mere faux pas and support her Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2015 #34

Neoliberal foreign policy is brutal Oilwellian Apr 2015 #38

If you voted for Obama, you voted for that troop surge BainsBane Apr 2015 #39

HRC was the Secretary of State, correct? guillaumeb Apr 2015 #41

Those then are the two, and only two rational explanations you believe are possible? LanternWaste Apr 2015 #42

Offer more guillaumeb Apr 2015 #43
