(6,282 posts)I suppose it might be noteworthy for the BNR to discuss a single moment of truth given the duplicity of HRC.
This is just more Brock super PAC spew.

(10,622 posts)Neither proof nor truth matter, those posts have to do with the "BIG LIE" Strategy that Brock and the Clinton campaign are using as a large tool in their dirty tricks box.
His "internet specialists" (legal supposedly, but based on a very loose interpretation of a loop hole)
can be paid by a super-PAC to coordinate directly with her campaign if it is only involved via the internet,
Some of these employees are paid to post an all forms of social media, and often do, especially when it regards the Big Lie tactics when they are used, which rely on repetition of the lie in order to make people believe the lie even when faced with solid facts to the contrary.
Expect these lies to be continuously spread, along with other lies pushed as truth via the Big Lie tactic that they have been employing liberally. (perhaps the only true sentence involving the word liberally in connection with Clinton, a right wing candidate within the Democratic party.)
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

(12,723 posts)More and more I have realized my issue with the Clintons is the fact they are really republicans. Old guard, 50s era republicans.

(11,998 posts)Misrepresenting your opponent's positions is. Hillary is the only one of the two of them who is doing that.

(10,478 posts)Sanders need to find another tone than hand-waving anger around 6 weeks ago. That didn't materialize, thus the delegate hole he is in now.

(12,473 posts)Not very " revolution like" at all. Why is he running as a Democrat anyway? Remind me of the given rationale by Sanders.

(6,007 posts)The Clintons are republicans.

(3,660 posts)You do realize that BNR is not even a media outlet at all anymore right? It's owned by Hillary's super-PAC for hte express reason of creating propoganda now.
Reposting anything from Peter Daou would be like soliciting advice for Hillary from Jane Sanders.

(1,442 posts)Wow, another HRC supporter tossing troll bait out yet again...
Interesting to see so MANY posts angling for Bernie to exit the primary process without allowing the rest of the states that haven't given their votes consideration to this primary process
Why do these HRC supporters posting these OPs hate these voters that haven't cast their votes yet?
See how that works... trolling like these HRC supporters are attempting makes me laugh

He hasn't yet been brought to heel.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)it is technically next to impossible for him to win. I'll eat my screen if he is not a True Believer in his own crusade. That said, at that point I expect him to commit to electing Democrats.
If he did not, then I'd know what to think of him. At this point, I still reserve the slightly shredded belief that he will prove to be worthy of his place on our ticket.
Doctor_J
(36,392 posts)let the corrupt, sociopathic, conservative half of the party work with the Paul Ryans and Mitch McConnells of the world to turn this into a third world country.
Given his fifty years of unwavering principles, I think I know which path he'll take.
Agnosticsherbet
(11,619 posts)He is a Democrat now because Sanders says he ran as a Democrat for 'media coverage'.
There is nothing that surprises me about his attempts to take down Secretary of State Clinton. He will continue to do so until California has voted.
pdsimdars
(6,007 posts)People who ignore their current opponent are destined to LOSE.
These are things that winning people know.
As soon as he gets the nomination, he can focus on that opponent.

(5,279 posts)You do understand that if no one here takes about the vulnerabilities of each candidate, those vulnerabilities don't vanish.
Open discussion of those vulnerabilities is how we, together, make arguments to counter them. Open discussions of the actual weaknesses and strengths of each candidate is how we all get strong enough to win.
This stupid blind party loyalty, which was adopted when the third way types regime changed the DNC, has steadily weakened the party for decades now. The rebound of the liberal/progressive/radical left, currently fronted by Bernie Sanders, is a reawakening of the spontaneous rebellious frustrating glorious chaos that metamorphisizes into a party platform at the national convention. It is suppose to go on until the summer.
Carefully scripted doctrine handed down from on high, is republican as hell and fuck that.
