89. The difference is, Michael Moore isn't running for public office

Sat Feb 1, 2020, 07:25 PM

Feb 2020

Hillary was. So when she made her "basket full of deplorables", it doesn't matter if it was true. It hurt HER! She cooperated with the filmmakers making a documentary about her, knowing full well it would be released during election season.

So hear we are again, jogging the memories of the Hillary hating independents who held their noses and voted for Trump, Jill Stein or just stayed home. The attention she gets just riles up the Bernie or Bust-ers. Bernie's not going to shut up, because he's running. She may be able to hurt some people, but she CANNOT HELP ANYONE.

I never understood the Hillary haters, but I was never in denial that they existed in the millions. There are plenty of racists who feel the same way about Obama. For that reason, I'm glad he's laying low during the primary season. I wish the hell she would.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I can't believe anyone is defending HRC's "nobody likes him" attack on Bernie. [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

The horse is dead. You can stop beating it now. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #1

Obviously not, because people are still trying to justify it all over the internet. DanTex Feb 2020 #2

Then stop feeding the argument. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #3

You mean, like replying to this OP? DanTex Feb 2020 #4

I'm not feeding the argument. I'm trying to get it to starve. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #5

Rebutting the argument. And successfully so. ehrnst Feb 2020 #136

Hillary should just apologize for attackin Bernie as Tlaib apologized to her & we could all move on! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #156

Clearly, obviously, this is exactly what should happen. DanTex Feb 2020 #160

It's so obvious, but I don't think Hillary WILL apologize to Bernie. It's a shame though... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #163

When Bernie apologizes to HRC, then there will be party unity. ehrnst Feb 2020 #164

Not if you want to defeat Trump Gothmog Feb 2020 #20

You forgot the "from the Sanders campaign" part of the quote. lapucelle Feb 2020 #35

I don't think it makes much sense, either, DanTex. Scotch-Irish Feb 2020 #47

"Market odds" That's your source for political analysis? ehrnst Feb 2020 #135
