Those who have studied history know how the system can be rigged, those who are not studious would have no clue and are easily led like sheep, eh?

(13,685 posts)Bernie is playing by the rules and he will win the super delegates because the correct thing for the party to do is to nominate the best candidate. Case closed and fuck KOS.

(4,665 posts)Good luck on super delegates: My advice (for what it is worth) is try to steer clear of the death threats as not only have they, in the past, proven to be ineffective (and generate oodles of bad press) but some of these people have secret service protections and they are not known for their sense of humor.
RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)H is the one who threatens death. Death to the children from Honduras - "Send them back", death to Iraqis, and Libyans and Syrians who have suffered under her tenure as SoS.
So you know what you can do with your 'advice', eh?

(4,213 posts)Clinton likes to use words like tough, non nonsense, stronger, etc. bullshit. Republican code words for get in line with me or pay the price.

(1,947 posts)together my ass. I am in no way aligned with that portion of the democratic party and it is about time these conservadems had to face a primary. In 2008 you had a corporatist dem running against a corporatist dem.. wooohoooo guess what we got, a corporatist dem. any surprise there?

(35,619 posts)I think it's meant to appeal to swing voters who don't like Trump's bigotry and/or who like military aggressiveness.

(11,495 posts)All of the Democratic party. I don't think she wants to unite the right wing trolls that have been trashing and bashing her day in an day out. We can unite and she can win against Trump. She was not my first choice, but she will be win she wins the nomination.
Eric J in MN
(35,619 posts)...I'll judge based on that if she wants to unite the left-wing and centrist-wing of the Democratic Party.

(2,975 posts)If you're not INside and being one of those contributing to STRENGTH; you're outside, weak, a detractor, a malcontent. It let's them position their slogan as a weapon.
Fuck this "big tent" I've been told my roll is to be silent and obedient, contribute to the strength but hush mah mouth.

It was probably also intended as a rebuke to Trump's bigotry.

leveymg
(36,418 posts)As did a number of Right wingers in Berlin, London and Washington. That symbol was planted all over in the 1920s and 30s. It is hung on either side of the speaker's podium of the US Senate to this day. Now the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party has adopted that movement's motto as her own in 2016.
Good Gawd what has happened to us?

(34,111 posts)Who is this together? We know who she likes and who she does not so exactly what does she stand to gain with this? I don't want to be anywhere near some of the people she likes to be together with. As long as Kissinger (to name just one) is part of who she is together with then yikes, that is a group we should all do without. She picked her friends and her attitude poorly if she wanted the rest of us to join up. No thanks, my hands want to stay clean.

(2,101 posts)If memory serves correctly, the 'stronger together' slogan appears on a Verizon billboard that was in view while Bernie joined the strikers in NY. Can't remember where the photo was seen, but here it is in print:

Maybe someone else has seen it?

(84,711 posts)Surprised her Campaign Ops didn't come up with something that would resonate with Average Americans who are being hammered with a very weak Economy, after we Bailed Out Wall Street back in 2008. It's now 2016 and Average Americans and the Poor are still suffering.
Bernie Sanders addresses this....but, Hillary has so much money from Wall Street, Silicon Valley (job exporter #1) along with everything in Tools, Home Gadgets, and everything else sold at Home Depot, Lowes and Ace Hardware along with Sears and Wallmart.

Therefore the two halves are STRONGER TOGETHER.

(20,176 posts)Of course, we're stronger together...but she's the one that broke the coalition by embracing any Republican value that polled well. She broke it, it's her responsibility to bring it back together...and that requires mea culpas that Hillary just won't make because they're mea culpas that mean rebuking Bill's legacy as President and embracing Democratic economic values she hates.

3 (conditions) actually
1) You in your own voice describe them as muscular
2) You note that a look at the CFR seating plan shows that all the envoys from Holbrooke to Mitchell to Ross will be arrayed in front of her, which in your own clever way you can say certainly not a coincidence and meant to convey something
3) You dont say you were blackmailed!

Personally, I always thought "never, ever gonna come to pass" was more accurate.
It can be interpreted an intriguing number of different ways.
