2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: If Bernie isn't a "real" Dem, why does he owe Hillary any allegiance? [View all]Bohemianwriter
(978 posts)124. Why don't you Hillarysplain what you said instead?
"That means not Bernie Sanders"...
I have already given you a clue, but you haven't explained anything and yet expect that Bernie voters will fall in line after your side's Karl Rove tactics...
Sorry. You, like Hilary are failing in your quest for Bill Clinton 3.0 in the WH. Because getting allies you are not in this. But its son nice to see Hillary bots take after their Queen. Not a single honest bone ion your bodies.
So again, what di you mean with your statement?
Perhaps you should find someone who can read to interpret what i wrote to you.
I want to see Hillary's Wall Street transcripts, and some explanation how you and she can be anti-gun when you support a candidate who through her position helped the American arms industry sell guns to regimes that kills women and children.
As a Hillary surrogate, you owe us some answers. And you owe us an explanation why you think Hillary is a progressive and Bernie is not. You can give an easy how Hillary are entitled to take credit for FDR while Bernie does not.
You can explain how she is honest on Wall Street, her transcripts, her ties to the Saudis, her support for criminal military juntas, her war on black kids (super predator remarks which culminated in Tamir Rice), and her double speak regarding guns in two different states in less than 2 days..
Seems that this "lobve and kindness" meme doesn't apply to Bernie voters...Only the people Hillary bots are using to play the victim with, as well as repuoblicans, since you seem to be more than willing to play games with republicans than getting the votes from the REAL progressives.
You are ot a liberal, nor a progressived since you support a candidate who's husband sought to dismantle FDRs legacy. The fact that you aqnd Hillary are trying to hijack a legacy you are trying to destroy is almost as disgusting as your astroturf attacks online...
