96. I don't speak for "America"... Do you think you do?

Or even those links?

She has high unfavorables I'll give you that, but so does congress and we keep electing those folks. So does Trump and he is running away with the GOP nomination.

I'd also point out that nationally Clinton is still in the lead for the primary so we might not like her... But as of right now that doesn't seem to matter all that much.

If anything you might have had enough but some people seem to be ready for more, and they are entitled to that position... Even here on DU.

I think this question deserves more attention than counting black people. Am I wrong?? DU? Am I? nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #5

Nope. Phony distractions are more important that acknowledging a findamental problem Armstead Sep 2015 #65

Yes those damn "phony distractions"... Agschmid Sep 2015 #71

The notion that Sandes is a racist, or doesn't give a shit about it is a phony distraction Armstead Sep 2015 #95

Sanders is not a racist. Agschmid Sep 2015 #97

I wasn't saying you implied that Armstead Sep 2015 #99

Until it was brought up on this thread by a Sanders supporter Agschmid Sep 2015 #100

You're right, but I think that was in frustration by that poster at.... Armstead Sep 2015 #102

Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #18

Did you try Google... Agschmid Sep 2015 #20

She "reportedly" made the statements behind closed door. LOL. Not quite the same thing. Bonobo Sep 2015 #22

#MovingGoalPostMonday Agschmid Sep 2015 #26

Because a politician talking behind closed doors is EXACTLY the same as putting them in a speech. nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #32

Check this... Agschmid Sep 2015 #35

She's right. She should project the urgency of it more like Sanders. Bonobo Sep 2015 #41

She says it almost at every campaign stop. Agschmid Sep 2015 #43

I wonder why it doesn't resonate... Perhaps it's that "authenticity" thing. I think so. Bonobo Sep 2015 #47

Also, it doesn't help her that she takes money from billionaires... reformist2 Sep 2015 #52

I believe that Bernie would also accept direct donations to Agschmid Sep 2015 #56

Wow - you haven't listened to any of his speeches, have you? reformist2 Sep 2015 #59

Okay so let's play it out... Agschmid Sep 2015 #62

He's say "yes" but he's also.... Armstead Sep 2015 #67

Good we agree. Agschmid Sep 2015 #68

Listen to his speeches - He says, quite clearly, that he doesn't want their money! reformist2 Sep 2015 #70

As a super PAC donation sure... Agschmid Sep 2015 #72

Yeah, which would be limited in size, and would have no real effect on his total war chest. reformist2 Sep 2015 #75

You said he wasn't accepting money... Agschmid Sep 2015 #80

Hi pinebox Sep 2015 #88

I don't speak for "America"... Do you think you do? Agschmid Sep 2015 #96

One word answer: JackInGreen Sep 2015 #85

Try google. SouthernProgressive Sep 2015 #21

Is it? You mean the "reportedly" behind closed doors to economists above? Bonobo Sep 2015 #23

smiles are good. I hope you keep yours all day. Nt SouthernProgressive Sep 2015 #24

That's real Christian of ya, ma'am. nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #25

Well, I'm neither Christian nor a ma'am. SouthernProgressive Sep 2015 #50

Well, there WAS that whole "voting against the Bush tax cuts" thing... brooklynite Sep 2015 #27

Just another transparent OP... Agschmid Sep 2015 #38

She did it in day one of her campaign too... Agschmid Sep 2015 #28

And another... Agschmid Sep 2015 #29

Pffft. "Grow together". Powerful stuff! nt Bonobo Sep 2015 #34

Should we not try to grow the middle class? Agschmid Sep 2015 #36

Absolutely! That's the great thing about safe platitudes! Bonobo Sep 2015 #39

Oh and this on Capital Gains... Agschmid Sep 2015 #31

Oh and then more from this speech... You know in public! Agschmid Sep 2015 #33

Hmmm, didn't hear anything about the .1 percent. Did I miss that? I mean those are her bankrollers. Bonobo Sep 2015 #37

You don't hear it because you don't want too... Agschmid Sep 2015 #40

I'm just WORRIED that she doesn't seem to really care about the issue like Sanders clearly does. Bonobo Sep 2015 #44

Clearly you are concerned. Agschmid Sep 2015 #46

Oh yes, I am very, very concerned. Bonobo Sep 2015 #49

I think she is fine. Agschmid Sep 2015 #51

She accepts money from lots of billionaires. What are we to think? reformist2 Sep 2015 #53

You are allowed to think what you want about that... Agschmid Sep 2015 #55

More... More... And More... Agschmid Sep 2015 #45

Am I missing the part where she actually suggests dong something concrete and effective about this? Human101948 Sep 2015 #78

K&R! Katashi_itto Sep 2015 #54

What are your thoughts on this? Agschmid Sep 2015 #58

Just in case you want to talk about it, the figure for the top .1% is 22% muriel_volestrangler Sep 2015 #57

Yes, what I meant was they own as much as the bottom 90% Bonobo Sep 2015 #61

Yes and she would like to "Topple" that... Agschmid Sep 2015 #66

So I'm wondering now that you know she's talked about it... Agschmid Sep 2015 #60

I was going to update it to say that she doesn't speak about it convincingly. Bonobo Sep 2015 #63

You should. Agschmid Sep 2015 #64

Not sure why. I made no declarative statement in the OP subject line. It is a question. Bonobo Sep 2015 #69

No but those damn "phony distractions"... Agschmid Sep 2015 #73

Yes, she does and YOU can do your own homework. There, I have set you straight as you riversedge Sep 2015 #76

So do only you get to set that standard dsc Sep 2015 #77

Thank you DSC! I KNEW someone would have the class to come in here and bring racism into it! Bonobo Sep 2015 #79

It isn't bringing racism into it dsc Sep 2015 #84

The lectures are well deserved. Bonobo Sep 2015 #87

I am not angry dsc Sep 2015 #90

You brought race into this first... At 1:32am. Agschmid Sep 2015 #89

Black people are just a "phony distraction"... Agschmid Sep 2015 #81

". . . including trying to incite racial politics to divide people with common interests. " Le Taz Hot Sep 2015 #82

Might be a good question, "Are you and your biggest donators paying enough in taxes" Babel_17 Sep 2015 #83

She says no. Agschmid Sep 2015 #94

Well, it would be great to hear the specific question asked and answered Babel_17 Sep 2015 #98

The list of HRC's top donors... 99Forever Sep 2015 #86

Ed Schultz said it best Saturday pinebox Sep 2015 #91

HRC is a tool of Wall Street and a bunch of petrofied Arab plutocrats - the top .01 percent leveymg Sep 2015 #101

So the Arab plutocrats have contributed to her campaign fund? Agschmid Sep 2015 #104

This is done largely through Saudi corporate acquisitions, banks and companies they control leveymg Sep 2015 #107

Well, she probably didn't cite that exact statistic, because it's false. DanTex Sep 2015 #106

Is Hillary saying it's time to break up the banks? Bernie is. Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2015 #108
