Related: About this forumHot off the Presses: Clinton Supporters Detail the Latest & Greatest Reasons to Support Clinton!
Just from DU's greatest page today:
Sanders doesn't know how to ride the NYC subway, he hasn't released his taxes, he lied about having already released his taxes, he lied about the number of people at his rally, his fellow Congresspeople hate him, he hates being charitable, he's a looney friend of moonbat Tim Robbins, he has a 401K and that makes him a rank hypocrite, he's a looney friend of moonbat Nina Turner, his campaign is totally delusional, he won't listen to his advisors, his supporters are sexist, he's a looney friend of moonbat Cornell West, his supporters put Dubya in office, he wants to overturn the will of the voters, he's just like Trump, his supporters are mean to poor superdelegates, and supposedly most importantly, he did not answer a couple of "gotcha" questions in a great long interview with the NYDN in sufficient detail to satisfy of the royal court of opinion makers.
Not one thread about any relevant issues. Not one thread about anything of substance. Not a single credible reason to vote for Hillary Clinton. Just a steady parade of desperate personal attacks on Bernie Sanders after desperate person attacks on Bernie Sanders.

(3,146 posts)...and I talk to strangers in the elevator, so maybe you're right. Some of these folks just seem so...I can't put my finger on it, but they seem like the type of people where it would be a struggle to stay friends with.

I'm just happy we got your attention long enough to pull you away from the endless stream of anti-Hillary threads.

You know what that question sounds like to me... PETTY. Though it indicates the state of US Media perfectly well. Which is in the gutter.
Now quick ask Madam Clinton (If you call that vetting) if she can make a right turn, continous mind you, in New York?

(49 posts)Use that pass on a machine that eats it and gives you a transfer?
Or am I thinking of another line?

(154,021 posts)though they still use tickets on one way transfers.
When people asked George Bush about the scanners, that was all over the country, Asking a US Senator who has not lived in NY about the NYC transit is stupid at best. For the record, asking Clinton if she could make that turn (since she has not driven in decades) would be just as petty.

(14,255 posts)me to vote for a candidate who is decidedly for war and fracking and the TPP (and other things I hate), and have never gotten a response. it is like they are all okay with war and fracking and the TPP, etc.? How can one be a Democrat and be for that stuff? Or, really how can one be a human being and be for that stuff.
Never once got a response when asking why it is okay for Debbie DINO to openly support her GOP cronies, here in Florida, against fellow Democrats, while I am told I must always vote for the letter "D" - again, never an answer.

Take pity on them.

Oops, wait, I fucked up! They are the ones doing negative campaigning. Silly me!

(4,407 posts)And she gets "things" done. Most importantly, she's the (D)!!!11!11!!!1!! There's a whole mythology built around her. It's kind of like how republicans say they're fiscally responsible, or that they'll be tough on terror (or communism). People believe it because they want to.

(9,688 posts)They aren't a sophisticated bunch. About as sophisticated as Trump.
But they've got a lot of cash and dark money PACs.

(5,204 posts)If you are heading to the Empire State building, and you get off at the Penn Station Newark stop, what do you do?
Correct answer involves taking a train for Penn Station Newark to Penn Station New York, but you can see why that might be a little confusing when asked as a spoken question.
