Where are Hill's shills?

(I was Juror 2)


ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling anyone a shill is calling them an accomplice to a swindler. It is unacceptable to call our Democratic front runner and her supporters by this term.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Oct 27, 2015, 12:16 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That's only one definition of shill.

From dictionary.com:

2. a person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty.

So, in reality, there are shills for both Hillary and Bernie on this site.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Toughen up boys and girls - nobody is calling Hillary a shill. As for her supporters, just remember - all stereotypes are true some of the time (and none are true all of the time). Alerter may not fit the descriptor but it's absurd to assume nobody fits the description.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Tit for tat. The term, "shill," is expected and fair game during the overly heated primary season here on DU. I'm a huge Hillary fan. The term, shill, doesn't bother me in the least.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm tired of the stuff I read in GDP. Too little respect for one another.

Green eggs and ham have been replaced by alert and Spam.

I think the person who alerted confused shill with shrill... LMFAO

Kinda like when Hillary says Bernie Sanders is being sexist for using the word "shouting".

being victims. Very interesting quote.

I absolutely HATE the idea of women being painted as victims. We are not. Especially very wealthy, powerful, elite, privileged women who are asking for the most powerful job in this country. They don't HAVE to be in politics, but if they choose to be, whining about 'being shouted at because I'm a woman' is simply laughable.

It is an insult to strong women everywhere.

or so I've read.

If they want to start a petition, let us know.

when she found out about this!

Thanks for the thread, Warren Stupidity.

We should have one whole debate for this, one whole debate for environmental and climate change.

I can't imagine that these issues are not important enough to warrant 2 hours of conversation from people seeking the highest office.

we could have had a wonderful series of themed debates, blm, economy, foreign policy, environment, health etc

what a shame

DeBlasio was supposed to be setting up a debate in Iowa too but with his endorsement of Hillary coming I'd guess that is out.

but since the undecided are very likely to hear good things from Bernie and O'Malley that might get them more support, we know the dnc bullies and their minions will not let that happen.

the candidates from both parties to participate in a town hall.

I hope that this demand from Black Lives Matter doesn't squeeze out an opportunity for a Town Hall, which, as being negotiated is driven by questions from the audience. Not moderators.

Both organizations are great. Black Lives Matter is more action oriented and Campaign Zero are also boots on the ground activists but also policy wonks. They are the ones who have actually met with Sanders and Clinton to pin them down AND shape specific policy.

I really encourage everyone to click on the link and read through everything. The website is elegantly done and pathways to addressing Black Lives Matter on local, state, and federal levels are solidly thought out.

rude.

candidates alike. And the questions would come from the audience. Not a mediator.

You have a problem with that?

Black Lives Matter wants a formal debate. I have no problem with that and would like to see both happen.

I like Campaign Zero's idea as well, but no Republican would ever go for it.

A whole debate devoted to grilling all the remaining candidates on how they're going to help minorities would be a great thing. It would force them to answer the tough questions front and center, not push it off to the back burners.

I'd like to see the candidates go on the record with their specific proposals for stopping the murder of unarmed black people, reducing our prison population, ending the war on drugs, radical reform of the criminal justice system.

I'd also like to see another town hall.

I want more debates.

It gives us more opportunity to really see up close the people who are seeking the nation's highest office.

I like that too. Rec.

..on this most important issue. And BLM have the all the right in the world to call for this.

...that Debate questions are from reporters and Town Hall questions are from the audience?

...come from ordinary citizens.

the prestige allotted to debates. They get prime time slots and get viewed by millions and dissected by scores.

The general public isn't going to try to find C-SPAN 3 to locate a Town Hall.

...was in the townhall format.

They can get famous reporters to moderate and to do segments before the audience asks questions.

But I fear lots of push back from DNC.

the MSM just do "gotcha" questions.

It will elevate the issue of racism because we've been going the wrong way for a long time. And kudos to BLM - the only thing these oligarchs fear is numbers and 25,000 is quite a few people. Hopefully it is enough to spur Debbie Wasserman Schultz into action. She's sandbagged the debates long enough.

Don't ya think so Hillary supporters?

They've taken our votes for granted for decades.

i mean, if hillary is so fantastic with issues of blm and poc, then why aren't her supporters here clamoring for another opportunity for her to "shine" as she supposedly did during the debate? if her positions on issues important to poc are so great, wouldn't she and her supporters WANT another debate?

I suppose if she had actually won the first one, instead of just having been declared the winner by the corporate media, perhaps she would want another debate.

It's about BLM vs. DNC. And it seems to me to be a good negotiating tactic on the part of BLM. I mean, is the DNC going to say they don't need the support of black activists? BLM may have them over a barrel.

I happened to read the thread where someone brought up an important topic, which is having a Blm debate. In a thread that is getting increasingly long, almost all of the people are who are supporting this debate are supporters of Bernie. It's a natural question arising from an observation.

but it would be nice to see a series of subject debates where the candidates can get in depth on the issues imo


the voters could learn a lot from such a series

I can't understand why the DNC would hold a Town Hall but not an actual debate. If the candidates all have to be there and be prepared anyway, there is little logistical difference between structuring it as a "debate" or individual appearances.

I hope they insist on format, how it's conducted and ALL QUESTIONS that THEY want to ask.

They shouldn't let DWS call the shots.

is interesting to watch.

Welcome aboard?

But that's far from not caring about the plight of minorities. Virtually all Democrats are in agreement that it is a very important subject.

push for this really hard right now to make it happen because BLM is gaining a reputation as a militant black terrorist organization among the right wing racists and some in the law enforcement realm. i do regular searches of #blacklivesmatter on twitter, and it is not pretty.

i doubt the DNC DINO asshats want to get anywhere near any kind of potentially controversial issues with their "precious".

Sanders and O'Malley HAVE been pushing for it, and NADA!

We NEED forums, like it or not, and too bad this one's being Xed out. DAMN!
