what does it say about a demographic that considers it treason when their social media has a hiccup



That comment is fucking perfect.

How does this comport with screenshots of Hillary Supporter claiming they successfully had the pages shut down after reporting them as inappropriate?

seriously, they so badly want a reason for Bernie to lose other than the fact he didn't get enough votes.

conspiracy theories are not totally unjustified.

(Disclaimer -- I didn't assume it was a conspiracy and some people jumped the gun on speculation. But....)

He is going to up his game and start using the word "establishment" four times in each email. He knows his base.

You seem to ignore that many of us long term "good" Democrats that do not support Hillary Clinton have a sense of reserve about jumping to conclusions.

Yet we get called GOP or fringe or laughed at or part of the VRWC when we are FDR liberal Democrats that were mainstream Democrats prior to neo-liberals coopting the Party.

You are in denial or dishonest with yourself to not recognize that Hillary Clinton (and POTUS Obama) are neo-liberals or else you are neo-liberals yourself, not progressive nor liberal.

Here is to a laugh with Hillary Clinton. Consider what it says about Clinton and your character if you actually find this a reason to share a chuckle and gloat.

Tu quoque fallacy

Tu quoque or the appeal to hypocrisy is an informal logical fallacy that intends to discredit the validity of the opponent's logical argument by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion(s).

Isn't "Facebookghazi" a tu quoque fallacy also?

My post included Libya and the nature and kind of mocking by Hillary Clinton and supporters here at DU.

IMO the basis of the GOP's Benghazi hearings had no substance; however, the content of the emails between Hillary Clinton and Blumenthal revealed by WikiLeaks is of substance, conflict of interest, and insubordination to POTUS Obama.

DU is full of hypocrisy.

I don't see where my post is off topic considering the content in the thread; the post is in opposition and meant to disturb the band of bullies that have posted here.
