wow! the bernie folks are out in force on DU tonight..

[chillfactor]

too bad they did not watch the same debate I did. Hillary done herself proud! bernie looked like a windmill about ready to blow....red face,hands in constant motion, fingers pointing all over the place....and he blew out enough air to make a windmill turn.

[berniepdx420]

1. no way..

[reformist2]

2. And Hillary mentioning 9-11 was such a master stroke!

[jfern]

33. Yes, she'd have Guiliani's vote if he wasn't supporting Trump.

[onehandle]

3. DU in no way resembles Democratic Primary voters. nt

[silvershadow]

6. Which ones? The closed primaries or the open ones? nt

[onehandle]

14. Oh, there are clearly 'independents' and Republicans here.

And the rules here are crazy and confusing.

This is an open caucus having nothing to do with Democrats.

[Ned_Devine]

15. Because if they point out your candidate's flaws, they must be GOP, right?

[gabeana]

10. I know DU is more informed

understand the issues

[bettyellen]

4. I was very happy she brought up women's reproductive rights as part of the SC discussion.....

and pointed out that it was never even asked about in all the other debates.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. I was happy he brought up the fact that the drug war is a failure & mentioned descheduling marijuana

although unlike reproductive rights, that one got dropped like a hot potato when passed to the other candidate. I wonder why?

[bettyellen]

21. maybe because reproductive rights are basic human rights- and they have been ignored?

Was it the second or third debate that they discussed medical marijuana. Actually I think it was two debates.
Less important.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. That time, she was asked about marijuana legalization and she pivoted to "heroin addiction".

Difference here is, Sanders has a 100% pro-choice rating from NARAL and actually answered the question.

Hillary won't talk about marijuana and lets her surrogates like DWS go out and double down on sending sick people to prison for the "Crime" of easing their chemo nausea by smoking a joint.

[bettyellen]

30. there was no question about reproductive rights- Sanders just said "me too" after Hillary

brought them up in regards to the SC appointee. Too bad he didn't say (again) that Rowe is a litmus for him. We notice those things. Marijuana? I am not worried- the profits will make it irresistible to most states soon. Not so with abortion.

[Warren DeMontague]

43. He didn't say me too, he reiterated his firm committment to choice and his 100% pro-choice rating.

She's the one who has said she would be "open to restrictions" on abortion this cycle, not Sanders.

[bettyellen]

44. LOL, I love all the credit he gets for doing jack shit except co-signing bills and saying "me too".

We know who has been doing the heavy lifting, so these attacks are hilarious to read. She earned her endorsement from PP for doing the work.

[Warren DeMontague]

45. Sure.

NY Times Jan 25, 2005: "Clinton Seeking Shared Ground Over Abortions"

[Autumn]

29. I wanted to hear her talk about her support for a late-term abortion ban.

But she didn't get there.

[bettyellen]

31. You fail to understand the context- and what restrictions we currently have.

[Autumn]

35. Oh I understand it totally, both in context and restrictions we currently have. I also understand

the word compromise. As far as I'm concerned anyone who is willing to compromise on any part of women's rights is not supporting women's rights.

[bettyellen]

37. Nice try. We both know HRC has done loads of work to advocate to keep the decision between the

woman and her doctor- which is what the compromise was. Only SBS fans think (but SBS will never say ) he can get full unrestricted access for all women, when he has never actually rolled up his sleeves and do more than say "me too" for women.

[Autumn]

39. I know she is willing to compromise on it. Call it what you want, those are her words.

"I Could Compromise on Abortion If It Included Exceptions For Mother's Health"

As far as I am concerned anyone who says "I Could Compromise on Abortion" is not a champion of women's rights. Certainly not one I would trust. YMMV

[bettyellen]

40. this "compromise" is as free as women can currently get in the USA. SBS isn't even talking about

dealing with the much more restrictive laws we have in many states. He has signaled again and again, that it is not an issue on his agenda- other stuff is much more important. Always asking us to set aside the issue. Nope.

[Autumn]

41. I do not, will not support anyone who says "I Could Compromise on Abortion" eom

[bettyellen]

42. you want to oversimplify everything into a sound bite. But real life doesn't work that way.

Anyone who actually cared enough to participate in, let alone follow the struggle for our reporodcutive rights knows better than that. To reduce it to a sound bite is ignorant.

[Autumn]

46. You don't know me, it's ignorant for you to presume you know anything about me.

You want to call her words a soundbite go for it. I do not, will not support anyone who says "I Could Compromise on Abortion" I'm done here. I have no desire to discuss anything with a person who needs to stoop to ignorant insults.

[bettyellen]

47. I know well enough what people who have actually invested themselves in the struggle think

about the quality of activism each candidate has done. And HRC blows SBS out of the water.

[beedle]

5. That's because you don't have to register by Oct 2015

to be able to post.

[Beacool]

7. Tonight????

It's 24/7. I come here for the laughs.

[Buttons3345]

16. Yes, I do agree.

I have today.

[Lucinda]

8. That is quite a visual!

[Buttons3345]

9. LMAO!!!

[msongs]

12. uh oh, an obama avatar. better watch out, it's bad to support him today on DU nt

[hrmjustin]

11. Last hurrah.

[silvershadow]

24. No, all the way to convention. nt

[DemocracyDirect]

13. You didn't have to watch the debate.

Your conclusions would have been the same.

Both side scored points.

But Bernie won!

[w4rma]

17. Hillary was only booed, at least, three times.

[SusanCalvin]

18. I did watch, until I allowed myself to be distracted here.

Your post is not going to sway anybody one way or the other. (Well, I guess it might sway some to Bernie, come to think of it - I try not to allow myself to be swayed by supporters, though.)

[Logical]

19. Lol, drunk? Nt

[7wo7rees]

22. And so are those in the hill camp or you would not have posted.

What gives?

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Your favorite band sucks

[restorefreedom]

26. lol, good one! bernie killed it. nt

[ChisolmTrailDem]

27. Putting you on ignore. Goodbye. nt

[Zira]

36. +1

[bkkyosemite]

28. She fudged on the minimum wage issue, fracking and those transcripts...

[oasis]

32. Bernie certainly didn't win any new NY voters into his camp.

For all intents and purposes thr Bernie campaign is finished even if he closes within 5-6 points.

[Zira]

34. At you service.

[aikoaiko]

38. Well DU is BernieUnderground and will continue to be

BernieUnderground after the convention and after the General Election.
