Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumIt's almost over, and I will sure be glad when this site is returned to Democrats.
The hysteria, hyperbole, and right-wing bullshit talking points get pretty tiresome. For weeks it has been impossible to make a comment about Hillary or her campaign without being treated like a pariah, and Hillary treated to vicious exaggerations and attacks. You'd think she was Pol Pot and single handedly responsible for the Iraq war, not to mention everything else G W dip-shit did. Several Liberal Icons thrown under the bus for insufficient purity and refusing to slant every fact and detail with a bias toward St Bernie.
Hillary is winning because she gets the most support and VOTES. She gets more coverage because she is WINNING; she has the most comprehensive relevant resume of any candidate in modern history. Bernie is a good guy, it's too bad some of his supporters are so hateful and divisive.
My 2 cents.

(32,623 posts)When a "leader" initiates a revolution against "the establishment", and when that establishment is defined to include liberal institutions and icons, it invites the demonization of all who don't adhere to the leader's plans.
What do we all think it means when he jokes about Hillary making money for speeches like male public figures? He's flat out calling everything she says about her policies a lie.
From the head down. Rotten.

(46,074 posts)But the ridiculous ones are Nader voters, imho. They're totally out of touch with the reality of this country. They're the same people who insisted that if Nancy Pelosi would just impeach W, the Senate would remove him from office with 66 votes. I would ask which Republicans would vote to remove him, and they'd say "Once they've heard all the evidence, they'll do the right thing." Yeah, sure.
It was extremely disheartening to see them essentially running this place. It was beyond comprehension that they were able to get away with comments that were condescending to our AA members and sometimes overtly racist.

(3,248 posts)A lot of Ayn Rand's appeal is to young men who think they are entitled to do whatever they want, and that the world should give it to them because they are so obviously much more awesome than everybody else.
Sound familiar?
