that they're willing to support someone that uses dog whistles against minorities when convenient.

You won't find any. She only passed 3 bills in her Senate career. And they all named things. w4rma Feb 2016 #1
That is alright. Proposed legislation will do as well. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #2
Not true. But remember, Clinton wasn't in Congress for 25 years. George II Feb 2016 #51
8 years in the senate is a long time to have no legislation proposed... Bubzer Feb 2016 #66
True, but she did propose legislation in that time. Sorry to disappoint. George II Feb 2016 #84
Which post office are you referring to? n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #86
Your OP was about Hillary, not Bernie. George II Feb 2016 #92
Not dispointed. I believe in credit where it's due. Does she have anything outside of gun control? Bubzer Feb 2016 #96
I believe the discussion was about: George II Feb 2016 #183
Right. My question hasn't deviated from that topic. Does she have anything outside of gun control? Bubzer Feb 2016 #185
Wow. That is beyond pathetic for a former first lady, an 8 year Senator and the most famous woman JimDandy Feb 2016 #83
--- but she did write a good book. I think the title is "Village of the Damned." Hoppy Feb 2016 #118
"It Takes a Damned Village" Fumesucker Feb 2016 #172
No, it's Bomb the Damn Villages. nt valerief Feb 2016 #202
Lol, I've loved how the goalposts have changed on her OP Arazi Feb 2016 #3

Who? Flying Squirrel Feb 2016 #80
LOL! You stole my Question! 2banon Feb 2016 #173
The goalposts are all over the place at this point.. But this is all about Clinton's commitment. eom Betty Karlson Feb 2016 #153
Well, I don't care for calling another poster out, morningfog Feb 2016 #5
I am not calling out another poster. I am crediting another poster for bringing up a good question. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #6
I appreciate your post, since I asked her this and she wouldn't answer except to tell me to JudyM Feb 2016 #28
You are very welcome. As expected, however, this OP is content-free. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #33
Maybe something will turn up. If not, just follow protocol and repost it in a couple of days. JudyM Feb 2016 #37
I think.. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #39
Aw, c'mon, let's bring all of DU down to that schoolyard level. JudyM Feb 2016 #45

You mean she hasn't criticized Obama recently. Recently is the important word there. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #17
Point well taken. She was vicious in 2008. morningfog Feb 2016 #19
In 2008, it was low down. She has criticized him often since then, merrily Feb 2016 #53
Heck, she was viscious in 2014. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #186
bravenak invited the creation of this OP tk2kewl Feb 2016 #36
her? Oh yeah. Have had her on ignore for a long time now. liberal_at_heart Feb 2016 #151
i'm getting used to her tk2kewl Feb 2016 #157
Except she has criticized Obama. Especially on foreign policy. jeff47 Feb 2016 #187
Yo! bravenak Feb 2016 #8
Yo! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #10
Oh guaranteed there's no response. The OP was flamebait anyway Arazi Feb 2016 #14
That would be amazing! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #15
How? Quayblue Feb 2016 #88
I was being sincere Quayblue Feb 2016 #112
Are you talking about here or on another op? bravenak Feb 2016 #116
here Quayblue Feb 2016 #132
I'm sure this op is not quite serious bravenak Feb 2016 #136
You are quite correct. But this thread was almost begging to be made. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #138
I understand perfectly.nt bravenak Feb 2016 #142
But can you answer the question? If not I assume she must have done NOTHING /nt Dragonfli Feb 2016 #162
I'm not being told how she is the best for blacks day after day bravenak Feb 2016 #164
I am being told that day after day and and left wondering why. Those are good pieces of legislation Dragonfli Feb 2016 #166
You have it wrong bravenak Feb 2016 #171
Then you should hold Hillary to the same standard Dragonfli Feb 2016 #178
next time Quayblue Feb 2016 #148
:-) And don't get me wrong...I was completely open to hearing about any such legislation JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #150
ha! Quayblue Feb 2016 #155
oh Quayblue Feb 2016 #139
But did she end racism? leftupnorth Feb 2016 #9
NOT GOOD ENOUGH HILLARY 2pooped2pop Feb 2016 #13
No, but she's formed "relationships" and "friendships," see? SMC22307 Feb 2016 #108
She will continue expansion of the private prison system and War On Drugs gyroscope Feb 2016 #16
I heard a Republican congressman promoting prison call center jobs as a way to keep jobs in the USA virtualobserver Feb 2016 #63
Didn't you know it's okay to have your vote taken for granted by Hillary, if you're her firewall JimDandy Feb 2016 #97
Kickin'. No answers yet. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #18
She voted against the Bush Tax cuts in 2001 and voted to repeal them in 2007 brooklynite Feb 2016 #21
not specifically for POC eom noiretextatique Feb 2016 #25
Thank you, but as already observed, this does not apply. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #29
Votes don't count according to Bravenak's rules. It has to be legislation she proposed that passed. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #31
I understand from Hillary supporters... MellowDem Feb 2016 #69
The defining issue is gun violence. Hillary's record is good, Bernie's is bad. ucrdem Feb 2016 #22
Nope, not good enough! Unless it's specificly for POC, it doesn't count Arazi Feb 2016 #24
Yep. Gun violence applies to ALL people. This is about PoC. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #26
defining issues for who? noiretextatique Feb 2016 #30
For voters. It defines the candidates' position vis-a-vis POC communities. ucrdem Feb 2016 #34
Excuse me, this OP is about Hillary, not Bernie. Please try to stay on topic. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #40
The Gun Control Movement has it's origin in racism. Odin2005 Feb 2016 #52
Wrong on all counts. It's not the defnining issue and the NRA rates Bernie D- to F. merrily Feb 2016 #57
In this context, it is. And this is where the battle will be fought and won. nt ucrdem Feb 2016 #73
Hillary would like it to be the defining issue, but it is not. Sorry! merrily Feb 2016 #131
Co-sponsored legislation doesn't count. You can sign on to legislation at the last second. JimDandy Feb 2016 #106
Well, that IWR vote created a lot of jobs, albeit dead end ones. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #23
here's my list noiretextatique Feb 2016 #27
what I came up with too. Go Vols Feb 2016 #32
Obviously you know who I am on the jury. Aerows Feb 2016 #35
Lol, knew bravenak's loyal band would alert Arazi Feb 2016 #38
Once again, you are my heroine. JudyM Feb 2016 #41
Amazing! I was hoping for the swarm! They never fail! Except when they get a 0-7 :D JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #43
we are going to fucking lose if we can't respectfully counter each other Quayblue Feb 2016 #46
I didn't make the alert Aerows Feb 2016 #50
I know you didn't Quayblue Feb 2016 #60
Heck no! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #74
lol Duckhunter935 Feb 2016 #82
Well, that alerter is in the corner for 24 hrs. tragic! kath Feb 2016 #107
I got the alert Aerows Feb 2016 #119
Well Done Aerows! 2banon Feb 2016 #174
I'm getting confused (jury results) Quayblue Feb 2016 #44
It was baffling for me, too Aerows Feb 2016 #47
I primarily agree with her Quayblue Feb 2016 #65
Perhaps Hillary's supporters find discussion of issues Utopian Leftist Feb 2016 #194
I'm waiting for the day when I serve on one of my own posts. Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2016 #77
I hope you wouldn't have to Quayblue Feb 2016 #99
Must be a pain ordering pants for that. Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2016 #125
that's why I go and try them on Quayblue Feb 2016 #134
Got it. We'll get someone else to go for pizza. Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2016 #159
tikka masala please Quayblue Feb 2016 #160
If you had a problem with her OP, why didn't you address it there? George II Feb 2016 #48
OT. Besides, Jon never said he had a problem with her OP. merrily Feb 2016 #59
I had no problem with it. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #72
The poster seems to be opposed to your having fun with it on your own thread, merrily Feb 2016 #135
Every time this question was asked in hers whatchamacallit Feb 2016 #67
Bravenak said to create this OP Arazi Feb 2016 #68
Meh Bobbie Jo Feb 2016 #75
It was a good faith effort at dialogue. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #78
And some prefer to mock and munch on popcorn. Bobbie Jo Feb 2016 #93
Well, they already addressed the Bernie questions on the other OP. So it is time to kick back. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #95
Like I said Bobbie Jo Feb 2016 #109
Yea, I'm with you. JTFrog Feb 2016 #161
the OP WAS told to start his own thread Duckhunter935 Feb 2016 #85
Did anyone come up with any yet? fbc Feb 2016 #49
I'm still thinking. None yet. 840high Feb 2016 #71
crickets. kath Feb 2016 #111
Wow! ybbor Feb 2016 #61
why not visit her site mgmaggiemg Feb 2016 #62
Because they don't list anything that qualifies. jeff47 Feb 2016 #188
No, but I can name 3 pieces zentrum Feb 2016 #64
Thank you. JDPriestly Feb 2016 #90
This is why Hillary Clinton's term 'firewall' for POC is so disgusting: JimDandy Feb 2016 #117
Well Put. zentrum Feb 2016 #126
Absolutely. Former military here, but this was so obvious JimDandy Feb 2016 #133
Forget when she was in Senate Nanjeanne Feb 2016 #89
I think she was involved in some political groups in college. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #91
To be fair she did go to work for the Children's defense fun nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #103
While Chair of CDF she was also on Board of Walmart Nanjeanne Feb 2016 #113
I know... it gets complicated nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #115
Okay... radical noodle Feb 2016 #128
That is hardly the point nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #130
There IS no point to this radical noodle Feb 2016 #169
Who said I am ignoring them? nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #193
I like my popcorn plain nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #94
I prefer it with a dressing of alert stalking. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #102
Well that goes without saying nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #104
I was thinking about a snack right now. Fuddnik Feb 2016 #110
That's a simple question isn't it? nt thereismore Feb 2016 #98
Sure: Lucinda Feb 2016 #100
Superficial posturing with no real effect on the lives of POC..... none. Indepatriot Feb 2016 #120
There is nothing superficial about the subjects of those three resolutions Lucinda Feb 2016 #127
I never said the "subjects" of the resolutions themselves were superficial, only the resolutions. Indepatriot Feb 2016 #141
So.....Having your cultural icons honored by your government means nothing. Lucinda Feb 2016 #143
Window dressing, plain and simple. Nice, appropriate, but in no way addresses the day to day Indepatriot Feb 2016 #146
Well I disagree, as I am sure many others will. Lucinda Feb 2016 #149
I tell you what those arts organizations like Ailey need- funding. If you were to look at the Bluenorthwest Feb 2016 #192
Shirley Chisolm, Alvin Ailey 6chars Feb 2016 #140
Basically a waste of time to go through them all because they will be ignored or dismissed. JTFrog Feb 2016 #158
Um. What about the aecond part of the claim. Rilgin Feb 2016 #167
There are lots of things that passed the Senate that she proposed. Perhaps go check for yourself? Lucinda Feb 2016 #170
I actually looked on Congress.com Rilgin Feb 2016 #176
Yep. I had at one point in time, started to collect them, but there are sooo many Lucinda Feb 2016 #168
Google is your friend radical noodle Feb 2016 #101
I'm terribly sorry, but only legislation that exclusively benefits PoC answers the OP. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #105
I love it that you are using the same exact ridicolous goal post nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #114
I had a great time with this OP. It has been a fun night. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #121

Not legislation..... but she did coin the popular phrase... Indepatriot Feb 2016 #124
Sadly, I'm just not seeing much in the way of good answers in this thread. How saddening. Ed Suspicious Feb 2016 #137
But of course, some of us knew what the sound of the many non-lulz, substantive posts would be. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #144

Of those, which were signed into law? And which had to do with people of color? merrily Feb 2016 #177
The info was there bravenak Feb 2016 #179
Don't be so shy. None of it became law, even the ceremonial stuff. merrily Feb 2016 #180
+1, but Clinton didn't spend 2231234 years in congress either... I think the amount of legislation uponit7771 Feb 2016 #181
But she's supposed to be the one who can get things done. jeff47 Feb 2016 #189
It looks like she did get things done in the short time she was there. uponit7771 Feb 2016 #190
Then why is there no legislation that satisfies the "rules" outlined by Bravenak? (nt) jeff47 Feb 2016 #191

One would think his submissions would dwarf hers. He is the hero bravenak Feb 2016 #195
Thank you. I am not too impressed either. But neither of our candidates really fit the bill for this JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #198
This is why I like Stein bravenak Feb 2016 #199
I really, really like her too. She even supports reparations ( that affects PoC right? ;-) ) JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #200
Yep. She is down with the cause. bravenak Feb 2016 #201
