2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton SNUBS MoveOn.org [View all]kristopher
(29,798 posts)114. "But stating facts isn't personal." - - - Seriously?
Facts can be inserted in any kind of argument. Good logic, bad logic, personal or impersonal - the use of "facts" is everywhere.
How you use the facts and present them is what matters. Yes, the Clintons are part of the oligarchy. I don't know what to tell you if you can't recognize that this is a personal attack instead of JUST a discussion focused on how her policies are bad for the people.
Ive been threatened again today for pointing out Clinton's law enforcement views ruined many of my friends families. She and her husband turned a blind eye to drug war atrocities here at home and merely pointing out that exposing police corruption doesnt support Hillary's narrative is enough for her supporters to go for the jugular and try to outright ban someone. Ive never seen something so pathetic and mirroring exactly what republicans and especially Bush supporters did. Its insulting to decent human beings. They really think its their turn and they deserve to rule the world. This is the same campaign that paraded around a picture of Obama in a turban trying to smear him as a Muslim.
Do me a favor. Try to rewrite that paragraph with only a single reference to clinton; focus instead on the policies themselves and how Bernie will work to change them.

A lot of Progressives to risk alienating. Going to need a lot of independents to make up for it.

Seems an endorsement from Moveon.org would probably hurt more than help in the GE.

Clinton: so self-centred that she is hellbent on throwing the election to the GOP.

I remember the Lincoln debacle. It was horrible and eye-opening as you say.

She's had good strategists before that have steered her wrong. I think this is one of those times.
