claiming Bernie is a racist, sexist impostor planted by the teabaggers to ruin Hillary's Coronation. That he is really the Antichrist masqueraded as a savior and goes to Rome to make the life of LGBT a bit more difficult with the Pope's blessing /remember reading a post indicating that Bernie was anti- LGBT because he went to the Vatican on a completely different errand)
Allegedly grandparent generation (with some honorable exemptions off course) seek to alienate the millenials because they vote for Bernie Sanders and principles over faux pragmatism (a key word for "yes I will vote with the republicans and corporations against the interests of my voter base for political expediency or money gain"
These are the people who did get affordable health care. These are the people who got affordable college And these are the people who think that their grand kids can either just "take a small loan" from daddy, or flip burgers to pay a 50 000 dollars a year to get an education they only paid the fracture to get themselves.
This is the Baby boomers. The hippie generation that has gone corporate and hawkish.
They think that the kids today are lazy who don't want to use their bootstrap like they claim they did themselves Let's call it the Trump syndrome.
"If you can't afford college, then it's because you are a loser, your parents are losers, and no one are entitled to 'free stuff' such as an education. As if education and health care are commodities exclusively for the privileged class who can afford it. They think that it's unrealistic to to give the kids today the same things they got 40 years ago and very realistic to take money from rich donors and not be corrupted by these donations.
The logic for many people is "we think that kids today are not entitled to 'free stuff' like college and health care, and politicians who takes corporate money are incorruptible if your name is Bill or Hillary Clinton.
These are the same people who accuses Hillary critics for sexism, and have no quarrels to call a twenties something intern who was coerced by as serial cheater to give him a blow job a slut. As if people in power never use their position of power to extort sexual favors from their female staff and definitely does not apply to Bill Clinton...

(6,960 posts)Excellent post.
I am a Baby Boomer who recognizes the advantages I have had because of two important things: the era during which I was born and the wonderful parents/family into which I was born. My older sister (love teasing her about that) and I talk about this all the time as we worry about our grown children and now the grands whose lives will be totally different from ours... as we worry about the earth; the climate; the quality of our air, food and water; the proliferation of weapons and war.
We are the lucky ones, but we lament what this nation has become and what the Democratic Party has become since the Clintons helped create the DLC. We are Bernie Boomers all the way and were mightily depressed after the NY results, especially the margin of HRC's victory. How can so many be so willfully blind
Your thread is so important because I see the embodiment of your words in many of my friends, especially the childless ones. They are reaping the benefits of real Democratic (FDR, LBJ) legacies. They have Medicare and SS, were educated at a time when education (even at elite schools) was affordable and didn't saddle a person with debt equivalent to a mortgage. They had rewarding jobs with pensions. And they were able to purchase homes when housing didn't consume such a large percentage of income or require such ghastly commutes from an affordable location to in-town work.
The childless ones don't have to worry about the future, and many just want to see a woman POTUS in their lifetime with no regard for the fact that HRC is the wrong woman! Some point out appointments to the USSC, but when corporations are elevated to personhood and rule everything... control government, education, healthcare, etc. then USSC is in the hands of and for the benefit of the corporation regardless of who occupies the White House.
Anyway, great post... and belated welcome to DU

They don't support a candidate, they only exist to be a pain in the ass. They won't vote for Sanders, I don't think most of them can be bothered to get off their asses unless a pizza is at the door.
They are working in exactly the same way as the PUMAs did back in 2008, they too will disappear shortly after the nomination is decided.

(11,588 posts)Sec. Hillary Clinton has been campaigning since she entered the race. She has participated in all the debates and town halls, handled the press interviews and questions, and met with groups of people to listen to their concerns and take on the issues across the country. This is not how people seek a "coronation." It is time to put that baseless smear to rest. It does nothing but flag your own ignorance and bias.

RiverNoord
(1,150 posts)The entire machinery of the Democratic Party was mobilized to fast-track Hillary Clinton's nomination well before she officially declared her candidacy. There was not going to be a meaningful primary process for the 2016 nomination. This is straight-up how things were organized for the 2016 election.
This is not a biased opinion - it's exactly how things were, and the plan was to have a few small-time 'challengers' to provide the image of some kind of choice during the process. That's why there were so few debates scheduled, and at odd times. The DNC planned for and expected no real opposition to Clinton as the nominee, and it would be a bit embarrassing to have a bunch of debates with Clinton as the only candidate.
I've met plenty of intelligent Clinton supporters who are fully cognizant of this, accept it as a mildly uncomfortable reality, and don't try to pretend that it's not the case. You can still support your candidate while possessing some unpleasant information about the circumstances of her potential nomination.
Declaring that people who recognize this are 'ignorant' and 'bias(ed)' demonstrates that either you are in denial, and need to compensate by dismissing their statements as motivated solely by an ugly drive to drag Clinton down, or that you are so comfortably situated inside your own echo chamber that you really believe what you write without reservation. '(H)andled the press interviews'? Hillary Clinton has gone months without taking questions from the carefully handled press entourage from various media outlets that accompanies her during her campaign. Again, a fact, one that indicates that she considers that the less said to the press (and, therefore, the American people), outside of carefully stage-managed events, the better. Not a biased perspective - the conclusion is an inevitable consequence of the fact.
Here's a humorous, and perhaps poignant, example, from over a year ago (from the non-Haim Saban-owned Onion), of a fairly broadly held perspective about Hillary Clinton's candidacy:
http://www.theonion.com/article/hillary-clinton-to-nation-do-not-fuck-this-up-for--38416
Hillary Clinton doesn't have to be a shining beacon of hope and salvation for a country that desperately needs her in order for you to support her. But have the decency and good sense to consider the reasons why other Democrats might not support her instead of accusing them of being uninformed ('ignorant') or incomprehensibly spiteful toward her ('biased').

CC
(8,039 posts)Though it would be early for her to make one unless she is heir presumptive. My real question is where is the DNC's plan to retake the House and Senate? It is non-existent here where even some Republicans have had it with our Club for Growth Representative. The DNC has been MIA here ever since the killed the 50 state plan just in time to lose seats for the Census redistricting. It really sucks to watch your whole county turn into a Republican paradise because Democratic Party decision makers could not be bothered. (Our locals Dems sure are trying hard even without real help from the state and national.) Seems no matter how much money anyone raises for the DNC only certain districts & states get much of it. So right now I really have no problem with Bernie supporting down ticket people that think like him instead of feeding the machine in place now.

What MSNBC did say was that ol Bernie now had an even tougher road to win the nomination a fact. Lets face it Bernie was stunned yesterday. He had said all along he was going to win NY and then he gets not only beaten, but thrashed! Looks like those 28,000 people at his rally decided to stay there and not go to the polls.
And whats with Bernie supporters throwing money at Hillarys motorcade as it drives by? Really? Its just silliness and Bernie stirs up the pot by doing something he said he wouldnt do and thats negative campaigning.

I'm a good Democrat, and have been all my life. I participate in my state party politics, volunteer, and donate to good Dems. I encouraged Bernie to run as a Democrat since real progressives feared to go up against the Hillary machine of the DNC.
I have also worked for an Amendment to get money out of the realm of free speech and say corporations are not people with constitutional rights. I don't see Hillary taking us in the right direction there with all her ties to big money. Hence throwing money at her as street theatre.
Hillary has never been my candidate and isn't the best for most of us. Mainstream Media doesn't want Bernie cause the gravy train would slow down. It might for politicians as well if we had President Bernie Sanders.
turbinetree
(24,703 posts)when you say opportunistic, what exactly does that mean?
Does that mean that when that the media from day one has given her the coronation, since she first ran, and all the public has been hearing about is Clinton vs Trump or Trump vs Clinton professionals .
Does it mean, that she has been given more access into the corporate oligarchy board room to hear how the inequality is being played out, by the professional
Does it mean that is why people up with debt around up to there collective ears are throwing paper money, or how she voted to give the same banks the moola, to charge people rates that have bankrupted the society and thrown this country into third rate status by the professionals
Does it mean to flip-flop on a trade policy because the society as a whole are fed up with inequality it creates and she supported from the past with the professionals.
Does it mean that people are fed up and lost there homes, while they, the same banks that she visited, the same banks which got the same money at our fed window at .01% , and then turn right around and say here is your money we will charge you 8 to 25% by the professionals.
Does it mean that she is going to do something about the Hedge Funds, that were created in the 1940 Acts, and she hasn't said anything about breaking this ponzi scheme up, because she was in that room for and with the moola professionals.
Or does it mean that she thinks just like the media coronation that someone that did not have a (D) in front of there name they aren't one and they are not a professional.
Take a look at Thomas Franks book: Listen, Liberal and see and read what a professional is all about---------------its disgusting......................

have tossed tomatoes. If Hillary were a rotten egg, they would have thrown rotten eggs. But, Hillary is addicted to money. So, they threw money to show their disgust about money in politics. Anyone with half a brain understands that. If you have a quarter brain, then it can go somewhere else, like a strip club. (A note to Joy: money is not thrown at strip clubs. And it is never given for a disgusting performance. Apparently, anything goes in characterizing Bernie supporters as sexist.)

I have made up mind that, should Hillary Clinton win the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, I will not vote for her in the general election. Any of her camp's latest, like with this thread example, serves as reinforcement to not back the party (under Hillary Clinton) in the general election.

And I couldn't care less if the dumb part is due to her being oblivious as to what "symbolism" is or the willful/deliberate distortion of it from the moneychanger/can be bought designation intended to the "calling her whore" dishonest idiocy she spewed it into

(2,570 posts)the intended purpose of the money shower and its symbolism was clear to any and all without an axe to grind but no wheel upon which to do it, and it had absolutely nothing to do with her being for sale sexually.
If you wanna be dumb and/or dishonest about it as well that's your business.
But then, that's to be expected outta one that ridiculously claims that the stated motive for the money shower isn't a "fact" and can be transmuted into a different element by way of a stupid "opinion" formula used by some defenseless partisan hack attempting to impeach the witness in lieu of rebutting the ONLY realistic and plausible explanation the for money shower.
Exactly who the fuck are you or her to tell those good people why they showered her with the money, and how is their stated reason/motive notta fact?

It:s a conceptual problem, one suggesting a lack of critical thinking skills.. Referring to your post's last jumble of words as a "grammar problem" is like a
calling a tornado a breeze -- Read it and remember that Review is your friend.
Having said that, Stupidicus, I will credit you eith at least one thing,: the choice of an unusually suiitable name.
stupidicus
(2,570 posts)is it a fact that you're a Bernie supporter or just your opinion? The money tossers made their reasons for the act clear as I understand it, and her dumb or dishonest "opinion" that differs from that doesn't trump that "fact". Your asinine efforts here certainly read far more like the work of a faux BS supporter and that of a stealth HC supporter, so perhaps that's where your dishonesty began.
Secondly, there's no "conceptual" problem, there's just you providing an example of your lack of reading comp skills
and I doubt anyone will
confuse the two, especially when it's expressed as incomprehensively as your last sentence
without noting the hows/whys the sentence was rendered incomprehensible when the point was and remains plain and simple.
And I couldn't care less if the dumb part is due to her being oblivious as to what "symbolism" is or the willful/deliberate distortion of it from the moneychanger/can be bought designation intended to the "calling her whore" dishonest idiocy she spewed it into
She wasn't being dumb by not knowing what symbolism is because she dishonestly contended that it was something other "like buck tucking -- than the money tossers intended and stated.
I chose that nic so as to provide dumb and dishonest rightwingnuts an easy out when they ran outta ammo, but it appears to be universal in use, as is the inability of the users of it to make hay with it, other than demonstrating how a hollow declaration generally originates in a relatively hollow head.
Well done. I would alert on the obvious insulting and willful use of that particular ad hominem, but your HC supporter allies would likely scoff at it. ANd besides all that, coming from a ______ that thinks this
Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders supporters staked out Hillary Clintons George Clooney-hosted fundraiser in San Francisco and threw actual dollar bills at her motorcade as she drove by. They did so to decry the corrupting force of money in politics, but Clintons campaign has actively painted it as a misogynistic attempt to liken her to a whore.
is anything but a dumb or dishonest "opinion" makes your "opinion" about my nic choice not unlike the skunk calling the owl stinky.

(29,067 posts)and this discussion was never about who I supported, it was about Joy Reid.
I do honestly hope that the incomprehensible material you've posted is just a reflection of bad writing skills
rather than your actual thought processes, as it could indicate a condition needing professional help.
Seriously, my words reflect concern, not snark.
That's all I have to say right now. Be well.

(2,570 posts)nor solicited, and in the case of the present one -- just because you obviously struggle with plain and simple English doesn't make a damn thing I wrote objectively "incomprehensible", and that asinine charge really just represents your reprehensible conduct from start to finish here.
which is why your support for joy reid and her reprehensible bs should come as no surprise to the readers, eh faux BS supporter?

Meanwhile, everything I've posted remains largely intact and unrebutted, leaving you guilty as charged.
How long have you supported the dumbasshood and/or dishonesty spewed by Joy Reid, and why do you think anyone would care about being on the ignore list of someone like you?

(1,917 posts)there's only 3 people left there.
The rest are out trolling Bernie threads and trashing everything with lies
and opinions masquerading as 'fact'.
It's tiresome and smacks of Rovism. But they don't care.
They don't care about this nation as long as they're OK.
Screw everyone else.
No need for educating the masses.
No need for the poor to have health care.
They're rich, so all is good.

(29,067 posts)I wouldn't get too upset about it, though...Bernie has made a yoooge impact on the party, regardless of whether or not he wins the nomination.
I don't know if the economic situation of individual DU Hillary supporters is dictating their choice, I think there are multiple reasons, including a lack of political sophistication. Keep the faith.

(7,358 posts)So what if these people threw dollar bills at her motorcade .. the protest could take on many different meanings .. how about money she's gained by her campaign (of which she'll allegedly only be entitled to 1.5%) from the ultra rich(?).. unlike Bernie who has relied on small donations from working class folks. Whatever you want that gesture of throwing money to mean. Miss Reid, I assume has never been to a strip club. Joy, you have to stick the money where it counts to get a lap dance .. you can't just throw it at them.
whathehell
(29,067 posts)As to your amusing take Ms. Reid's supposed ignorance of strip club protocol,
you should think less literally and realize that those who may be attempting
to demean Hillary by calling her a "whore" or comparing her to strippers,
would likely adjust their money-throwing 'message' to someone riding in a car...Get it?

(1,539 posts)it is really difficult to equate throwing money at Hillary as anything more than political bribes.

(3,557 posts)The sole reason I dislike Hillary is because she is a woman. It has absolutely nothing to do with her being an unapologetic warmonger and a corporate lapdog

(3,557 posts)However, even if the sniper fire was real, just being shot at a few times isn't really experiencing combat. To get the full impact I really recommend watching someone drop in your weapon's sights after you shoot them and later, after the firefight is done, stuff their remains in a body bag so you get to see exactly what it was that you did to another human being. Watching people suffer and bleed out further heightens the experience.

(3,557 posts)I'm glad people don't mistakenly assume that just because I'm a totally and permanently disabled veteran produced by the war on Iraq that I might be bitter about Hillary's statement in 2008 that she had nothing to be sorry about in regard to her support for the war on Iraq and that it took more than a decade for her to realize that it was a mistake and issue a half-assed apology. While I was shooting, killing, and stuffing body bags in Iraq, attempting suicide multiple times and being locked up in psych wards for months at a stretch her daughter (who is the same age as me) was living the good life and marrying a multimillionaire hedge fund manager. I love to see it when the people who are partly responsible for the crap in the world are protected from actually experiencing the mess they make.
Anyways Candy and Tiffany are up next on the center stage at the strip club I'm at. Me and my Bernie bros got a bunch of dollar bills that we wad up into balls and stuff change into. We like to throw them at the strippers and laugh at them when they cry! Hey, you know what they always say, don't you? "The lap dance is always better when the stripper is crying!"
