Hillary Clinton: Queen of half-measures. The Triangulation Tri-fecta.

[Fuddnik]

Want a minimum wage of $15? A living wage? Hillary sez $12 will do.

Want Single-payer? We can fix Obamacare.

Like TPP? Well, it's ok until it's not.

Regulate Wall Street? Re-instate Glass-Steagle? We'll send them a strongly worded letter. And say pretty please.


I could add a lot more, but, I'd be risking the wrath of "The Swarm", and be eating pizza for a long time.


Feel free to add your own half measures and triangualions.

[Fuddnik]

2. Yep.

I hope they do it soon.

Reading their diatribes would be worse.

[Mickey de Mouse]

14. Nice Whitest Kids U Know reference.

[Bread and Circus]

30. I love Whitest Kids U Know. They are hilarious.

[Eric J in MN]

3. Marijuana policy

Bernie Sanders wants marijuana laws to be left up to the states.

However, Hillary Clinton just wants the federal government to move its classification of marijuana from Schedule I (with heroin) to Schedule II (with cocaine).

[Hepburn]

18. Are you serious?

Someone may age who thinks MJ is in the same league as cocaine? (I am approx. only 7 months younger than Hillary.)

Wow! I never knew I was doing hard drugs all this time!

[Hekate]

4. No one even knows what that means any more bcs it's used as an empty slur so much

In fact I haven't even heard it anywhere else but DU in over 15 years.

Way to promote dialog and understanding, fellas.

[Fearless]

6. Facts are facts

One can accept them and move forward or dig in their heels, put fingers in their ears, and shout "nah nah nah".

Many in DU have done the latter. That is what causes issues here.

Regardless, facts are facts.

[Divernan]

8. Googled "triangulation" & "Clinton": 93,500 hits!

[Gore1FL]

29. While I agree to a certain extent

It's a little had to take the remark "promote dialog and understanding" when it's positioned right above a graphic that celebrates the banning of someone else.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. ...

[Divernan]

7. Go for it, Fuddnick - you rock!

I think the swarm is down for the night - last evidence I saw was a very powerful post listing less-than-flattering, but eminently truthful facts about HRC. Out of 37 replies, 13 were from the same HRC supporter - absolutely fact free of course, but than he/she couldn't create facts out of thin air.

[daybranch]

11. Please be nicer to Bravenak

why? Just Because, because

[Divernan]

12. She wasn't the compulsive poster.

And I don't reply to the compulsive posters at all.

[Fuddnik]

16. I can't see those for obvious reasons.

Who needs to be bombarded by bullshit?

[840high]

9. ...+1

10. Aaaand - looks like today's meme is that Hillary has already won or something.

Don't have much access to a computer during the day for a while - it is kinda funny to see all the new threads all at once. And telling. I see that anything at all about Hillary that is not praise and worship and fealty is a smear, as usual. Yawn.

If she does get the nomination, I will just busy myself seeing how to protect my grandson from getting killed. That is all her nomination would mean to me. IMO, no matter who wins, at that point, the MIC wins. And Wall Street wins.

[Divernan]

13. The neocon trifecta: war, offshoring jobs & expensive college ed.

Those 3 policy goals just fit together so GREAT! With fewer and fewer jobs paying a survival wage, and getting a college degree meaning assuming the burden of a lifetime, non-dischargable-in-bankuptcy debt, what choice will the proles have left but to "volunteer" to become cannon fodder in the endless profiteering wars.

Think of soylent khaki . . . or maybe, soylent camo.

Get your war on! Vote 3rd Way!

Seriously, protecting your grandson will be a serious challenge, and I wish you all the best in that quest. God help all the grandchildren who are not in One Percent families.

[Fuddnik]

17. I said that the day she voted for war.

Whe's planning a run for the White House, and has to show her "tough guy" bonafides.

[ieoeja]

19. "We must find common ground on abortion."

Supported the elimination of welfare.

Challenged on equal rights for LGBT on the 700 Club in the 2008 campaign, she changes the subject.

Opposed same gender marriage until 2 years ago.

Supported DOMA.

Wagged her finger in the faces of BLM activists while calling them stupid.

Opposes raising the cap on social security.

Opposes free public colleges.

Supports mandatory sentences.

Wants a constitutional amendment against flag burning.

Member of the Christian Dominist organization: "the Family".

Former president of the DLC which advocated for Reaganomics, offsetting the resulting lessened support from poor White people by not challenging bigotry by slowing down social progress.

[Ghost Dog]

28. "The Family". Ms Clinton, member of a Domionist sect?

Deep shit in we all are, then.

[CharlotteVale]

20. K&R.

[still_one]

21. Curious why you refer to her as "Queen", instead of "Person" of half-measures?

[Flying Squirrel]

22. Uh, probably because queens are women and kings are men.

Perhaps we should do away with those terms. Double plus ungood?

[Fuddnik]

23. LOL

[Go Vols]

24. :)

25. Madam President will be up for re-election in 4 years. Voters

will hold her to account on the merit of what she has accomplished from 2016-2020.

Will it be 4 years or 8? That's the only "half measure" Madam President should be concerned with.

[Flying Squirrel]

27. Unless a Ross Perot enters the race you're practically guaranteed 2 terms nowadays.

Even GWB got two illegal terms.

[upaloopa]

26. There must be some good poll numbers for

Hillary today.
The only ones to get anything done about Wall Street are those in Congress.
If Sanders and Warren can get some good regulation bills passed Hillary will sign them.
