Welcome to the world of coalition-based, independent movements Cal Carpenter Jan 2017 #2

Some folks are pissed about them leaving HRC off their list of honorees oberliner Jan 2017 #4

That's all well and good but this is an independent movement Cal Carpenter Jan 2017 #13

None of their honorees are partisans? oberliner Jan 2017 #16

Fair enough, I missed that. Cal Carpenter Jan 2017 #26

This doesn't sound independent to me at all. yardwork Jan 2017 #37

Not ALL the organizers. Many are strong Hillary supporters. It's a diverse group. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #147

Well, it's troubling to me that at least one national co-chair helped Trump win. yardwork Jan 2017 #148

All the people who oppose DT need to work together now, no matter pnwmom Jan 2017 #149

Does the co-chair oppose Trump? It's not clear to me that she does. yardwork Jan 2017 #150

She is not "the co-chair" -- she is one of four. pnwmom Jan 2017 #160

By campaigning against Charles Bukowski Jan 2017 #174

I see no indication that she campaigned against Hillary in the general. pnwmom Jan 2017 #175

Are you saying that the OP is incorrect? yardwork Jan 2017 #178

I'm saying I did a google search and couldn't come up with a link. pnwmom Jan 2017 #188

That's a direct quote encouraging people to vote against Hillary. yardwork Jan 2017 #193

The first sentence is a quote from HRC's 1995 speech in Beijing. Yet they don't credit her emulatorloo Jan 2017 #40

"We believe that Womens Rights are Human Rights and Human Rights are Womens Rights." Cha Jan 2017 #199

Clinton wasn't the first to use that phrase Cal Carpenter Jan 2017 #220

So? It came to prominence as the name of a speech given by Hillary Clinton, the First Lady of the Cha Jan 2017 #223

There are other partisan political folks on the list as well, such as Bella Abzug and Barbara Jordan oberliner Jan 2017 #58

The Greens definitely count when it comes to partisanship. They are Republican stooges. DanTex Jan 2017 #202

Sorry for them but I am very partisan. Jim Beard Jan 2017 #125

That's stupid, divisive and all kinds of wrong. But it shouldn't deter anyone The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2017 #3

Agreed oberliner Jan 2017 #5

She's just the one person who organized it and can choose to add Hillary's name. I'm not going. kcr Jan 2017 #52

This is why Democrats lose elections they should win. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2017 #65

One can say that snubbing Hillary is why Democrats lose elections they should win oberliner Jan 2017 #69

Exactly. yardwork Jan 2017 #73

Snubbing Hillary regarding this march is stupid, but The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2017 #75

She is the reason we lose. She actively campaigned against Hillary in the general for fuck's sake. kcr Jan 2017 #80

I agree completely. yardwork Jan 2017 #83

So we should just pick one primary candidate and then all vote for them? hollowdweller Jan 2017 #132

Apparently she campaigned against Clinton in the general. deurbano Jan 2017 #170

When did the greens do anything for us except draw away votes........ Jim Beard Jan 2017 #134

Not true. She's one of four co-chairs. And it's also not true that she worked pnwmom Jan 2017 #190

That is a direct quote of her working against Hillary in the GE. yardwork Jan 2017 #194

No, it's a recognition of the critical role of the swing states. pnwmom Jan 2017 #198

Nobody thought Pennsylvania or Michigan were swing states. yardwork Jan 2017 #213

She lost by 80,000 in 3 states, including the swing states of PA and MI. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #214

That is exactly my point. yardwork Jan 2017 #215

No, it isn't. Those states are traditional swing states and she was NOT saying pnwmom Jan 2017 #217

I disagree. Once the false narrative is out there it can't be controlled. yardwork Jan 2017 #218

Yes, Hillary's famous phrase was used, but Hillary herself was left off the honoree list oberliner Jan 2017 #63

It seems to be a big omission. She was the first female candidate for President, like her or not. jalan48 Jan 2017 #68
