Mon Jan 4, 2016, 07:24 PM

prove otherwise. Their billionaire friends have made them wealthy along with giving to their foundation and campaigns. H. Clinton doesn't even do a good job of pretending to care. Ask about raising the cap on SS. How about helping college students in debt. She supports fracking because oil profits are more important than people's water. She supported the Iraq war that killed many in the 99%, wounded many many more and cost the 99% trillions. That's how she is "dedicated" to helping us. Did you know that 22 vets kill themselves every single day? The Iraq War is partially responsible. Bill and Hillary are American aristocrats and I am sure would let us eat cake.

Maybe on MSNBC - or as portrayed in some Texas textbook. Thing is, like me, there's a lot of folks with two eyes and two ears and a smidgen of a brain to evaluate what those eyes and ears pick up.

Handle her campaign in the manner she chooses. It appears having Bill Clinton on the campaign trail, Trump is talking and we have this video. The GOP has been getting the Clintons for years, they allow the talk to run off their backs like water on a ducks back.

The (in)Sane Progressive. She lives in her own word when it comes to politics.

Honestly, though... What bothers me the most is her mic technique. That's a BLUE Snowball USB mic. It comes with a mini-stand. She's obviously using a webcam to record the video, she needs to just set the mic down on the desk and let it pick up the audio that way. It's a condenser, lady! Not a hand-held. </audio engineering rant>

She posts documenting links below the video. And if you like her videos, "Like" her videos on the youtube page for them.



It seems she'll answer questions at the link below.

Edit: Woops, that was a temporary Q&A thread, it seems.

https://www.reddit.com/user/debbierl might be better, though it looks slow.

Her Facebook page is hopping though.

efforts like this.

Given how negatively his efforts ar criminal justice and welfare reform were and remain to the AA community, it never ceases to amaze me how much support they both have in it.

It's imho, similar to but not to be confused with the Log Cabin Repubs situation in terms of supprt being given to those who've worked against their collective interests -- assuming they are aware of all this from the Clintons anyway..

So Sanders fans can post rants by banned members, like Manny and this "Sane Progressive," but when a Hillary supporter posted a piece from Daily Kos by Bravenak, it got alerted on and hidden.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251961837

The alerter claimed Bravenak is banned (she isn't, she is just on a time out), and the inevitable pro-Sanders majority on the jury was happy to hide:

Whitelining: Or How To Limit the Impact of Black Voters
www.democraticunderground.com/1251961837

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The post is written by a banned poster. When a poster is banned, they shouldn't be able to post via proxy. 

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Dec 31, 2015, 12:09 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Yawn. Same old GD: P 
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Bravenak is not banned, I just checked to make sure. This is a very misleading alert IMO. 
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Give me a break. Bravenak is not banned, she's temporarily suspended from posting. And I'm sure you don't complain about all the freaking Manny posts that are still posted here and he was deservedly banned. Vote to leave. 
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Not only is this a banned poster comment, but it's excessively race baiting by proxy.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is disgusting in too many ways to numerate in this small space. The more I read the angrier I became. Not only should this thread be hidden, but the poster who presented it should be given a time out.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

What I'm wondering about is just what the HillBots (several of whom have share their intellect thru comments to this thread) are going to have to say about Bernie once he's got the nomination sewed up. Are they gonna go mute - are they gonna be supportive or are they gonna go on about all the mistakes that have (and will be) made in running him in the general election.
