Lying about Hillary being "anti-union"? Check.

Lying about how Biden is somehow responsible for Manchin's refusal to keep his word? Check.

....


But even given her history, she's absolutely 100% correct about the silent bailout for billionaires and investors that Maher didn't even know about.

bailing out corporations (including Trump's) and endless unfettered spending on the WAR MACHINE but freaks out when the American people actually get a few $$$.

The only way that we get more Bernie's and AOC's in Congress is by V O T I N G - there is no other way. Stop all the infighting and vote like you mean it.

I'm personally tired of the shit-for-brains/religious nut GOP assholes that seem to be running this country.

Honestly, it is degrading to even compare Hillary Clinton, one of the worlds most beloved politicians, to the politics of unpragmatism and division by Bernie. I support both AOC and Bernie but they can’t hold a candle to the brightest in our party.

know much about her. I do know my nephew talks about her all the time, (college age) and he does bitch about Biden a lot. I try and make him understand the "binary" choice we have in America. I worry about young voter turnout - they seem to not understand how our system works?

If your nephew is voting age, you should warn him about her motives and messaging.

anti-Biden, anti-Dem no matter what. And when did he all of a sudden merit a regular spot on DU's right column?

Maybe he always was that and I was slow on the uptake, but I suspect his contrarian pose requires that he roast whoever is president at the time regardless of the facts. At any rate, Ball does an incredible job here arguing with the facts to back her up against two right-leaning know-nothings.

to begin with. Not even videos, given he's turned into something of an old conservative white guy, who's afraid of his own shadow. Haven't seen or heard from Ball in quite sometime and it was quite refreshing to see her again. Brought back the days of Keith Obermann during the Iraq war debacle.

I'm going to say to Krystal......."You go Girl". Tell it like it is.

From discourageprop to nonstop wedge issues like LGBT, this erosive shit is getting fucking ridiculous.

Thanks Bill, but no thanks.
