Excuse me? SheilaT Jul 2015 #1

Guess you missed this OP. DanTex Jul 2015 #3

I had. But there's a difference between interns, who ought to be paid SheilaT Jul 2015 #6

So if Hillary changes their title to volunteers BainsBane Jul 2015 #9

Yep. SheilaT Jul 2015 #13

Well,that's easily solved BainsBane Jul 2015 #17

Interns are actually paying for the privilege to be there. They can't just walk away. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #18

Not all internships are tied to college credit BainsBane Jul 2015 #29

There's actually a deadline for dropping a course without losing your money. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #30

My comment wasn't specific to campaigns BainsBane Jul 2015 #32

Hillary's unpaid interns vs. Bernie's unpaid volunteers Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #34

She needs to pay them BainsBane Jul 2015 #35

Teaching interns aren't paid. gollygee Jul 2015 #64

Interns PAY to work for campaigns? When did that start? George II Jul 2015 #76

Perhaps you are unaware of the unpaid internship movement from the "lower" classes who Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #25

Are you pretending that there is no difference between and intern and a volunteer? Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #28

Not really, no. Chan790 Jul 2015 #83

"Interns ought to be paid"? Lots of unpaid internships out there whathehell Jul 2015 #66

Is this META? If so itvseems inappropriate? Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #38

For GOTV, yes BainsBane Jul 2015 #4

I just asked about it in the thread with the petition BainsBane Jul 2015 #2

Maybe you're referring to the unpaid interns. SheilaT Jul 2015 #5

Even if they volunteer for the position? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #11

Most interns are actually paying for the privilege to be there. They can't just walk away. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #20

Bull. Our unpaid interns were allowed to make the call for their work hours Sheepshank Jul 2015 #95

They pay tuition. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #97

Wtf does that mean? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #98

In my opinion college interns on political campaigns should receive pay. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #99

Can we stop with the name calling? dsc Jul 2015 #7

No. This will continue until there is a winner in the Primary. neverforget Jul 2015 #8

+1 it just nasty Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #39

Didn't you just get a hide yesterday for a nasty post about Hillary? One of several in that thread? stevenleser Jul 2015 #88

Derp. No it was not nasty, it was contoversial and NOT a violation of TOS Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #89

Sure, blame team Hillary when 99% of Bernie supporters were passively telling you you were wrong stevenleser Jul 2015 #90

you really have very little wiggle room when it comes to complaning about nasty responses Sheepshank Jul 2015 #91

+1, Yep, except change "very little" to NONE. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #100

But she does now pay her interns. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #10

There are specific requirements a job has azmom Jul 2015 #12

It is remarkable. appalachiablue Jul 2015 #15

This RobertEarl... malokvale77 Jul 2015 #16

Keep in mind that this is a response to criticism that Hillary's interns are volunteering their LiberalAndProud Jul 2015 #19

Interns are not volunteers. They are workers. They pay tuition to be there. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #21

You know what, I really don't care. LiberalAndProud Jul 2015 #22

I certainly agree with you there are much more important things. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #23

Thanks for this. And Bernie came out strong in his defense of Planned Parenthood. Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #26

Indeed he did. He hasn't made skirting the issues his campaign platform. LiberalAndProud Jul 2015 #27

Gives me a sad too :( Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #40

Here are some straws. Aerows Jul 2015 #31

sigh... cyberswede Jul 2015 #33

How's the bottom of that barrel looking, Dan? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #36

Nah, I don't think the Hillary bashers have reached it yet. DanTex Jul 2015 #37

Smears..lol Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #41

"Socialist" is what Bernie calls himself. DanTex Jul 2015 #42

Ha Ha Ha "Democratic Socialist" Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #43

"I am a socialist and everyone knows that" -- Bernie Sanders. DanTex Jul 2015 #44

Intellectual honesty would have included this.... Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #51

He said "I am a socialist". So calling him a "socialist" is not a smear, it's a quote. DanTex Jul 2015 #54

Red-baiting? Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #56

Are you saying that Bernie red-baited himself by calling himself a "socialist"? DanTex Jul 2015 #62

Really, you're going with "I know you are but what am I"? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #65

The OP is about hypocrisy among Bernie supporters. You tried to derail it with a DanTex Jul 2015 #68

Pointing out that you're scraping the bottom of the barrel is not a "personal attack" Scootaloo Jul 2015 #92

Seems like a personal attack to me. But no worries, we're still cool. DanTex Jul 2015 #93

I have no doubt that it "sounds like one to you" Scootaloo Jul 2015 #94

Thank you, a little realism finally. DanTex Jul 2015 #96

They seem to have accelerated in just the last week George II Jul 2015 #78

Wow. Worried much???? Romulox Jul 2015 #45

The Bernistas are worried, yes, but I think desperate is a better description. DanTex Jul 2015 #46

Your top lip is trembling... nt Romulox Jul 2015 #47

It's gonna be interesting in about 7 months when Clinton secures the win. DanTex Jul 2015 #48

She has to beat the Republican candidate to "secure the win". Polls aren't looking very good. nt Romulox Jul 2015 #49

I mean the primary win, which Bernistas seem convinced will go to Bernie. DanTex Jul 2015 #50

Win the battle, and lose the war? Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #53

The people who are favoring Hillary are the Democratic voters. By a huge margin. DanTex Jul 2015 #60

In just about all the polls I've seen she has a bigger lead over republicans than Sanders has... George II Jul 2015 #79

You really trust polls? Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #84

It is just another display of their hypocrisy. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #52

So this is META and an attack on the DU "Bernistas"? Cosmic Kitten Jul 2015 #55

You clearly didn't read my post. Not the first time you have done so with me. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #57

By people who are "undecided!", no doubt. nt Romulox Jul 2015 #58

I am not undecided if you were referring to me. nt. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #59

Obviously. nt Romulox Jul 2015 #61

I have post after post of who I support. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #63

Um, Hillary's campaign has lots more money whathehell Jul 2015 #67

Yes, and also much broader support. Not sure what that has to do with the hypocrisy though. DanTex Jul 2015 #69

At this point, but it's early & he's catching up quick.Where is whathehell Jul 2015 #70

Polls haven't moved much in the last month. Still 35-40 points behind. DanTex Jul 2015 #71

Depends on the polls..A month is nothing at this point whathehell Jul 2015 #72

So you think Bernie's inability to raise money makes it OK for him not to pay DanTex Jul 2015 #73

Spin on, bro.. whathehell Jul 2015 #74

Well, maybe you can clarify for yourself. Or you can dodge. Either way. DanTex Jul 2015 #75

Interns are not the same as volunteers. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #77

I don't know what campaigns you've worked on, but for all the ones I've worked on.... George II Jul 2015 #80

You say workers are free to leave a job anytime they want. Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #81

You're contradicting yourself in paragraphs 2 and 4. George II Jul 2015 #82

laughably desperate attack J_J_ Jul 2015 #85

Yeah, they "unpaid campaign workers" attack on Hillary was pretty desperate. DanTex Jul 2015 #86

Par for any campaign Lil Missy Jul 2015 #87

Why dont we all just advocate for everybody to start paying interns, and to not abuse the AllFieldsRequired Jul 2015 #101
