A little something to celebrate victory with. Water in mine please.

I'm struggling to understand this line of thought. Honestly.

prize for giving their money. THat is tone deaf.

When I was growing up my family always celebrated New Year's Eve with Andre's pink champaign. We were butt poor but we still celebrated with champaign. And we had champaign flutes. Mom got them at Goodwill for 25 cents a piece, like our clothes.

during the New Year's Eve week and get some responses that might say that, but I'd hazard probably something like 10-20% at most.

For the majority of people, it's a symbol of celebration and new beginnings built into a tradition that goes back throughout most of the 20th century.

I suspect it's more that you're tone deaf to how most people view it and are just using it as a political attack and ideological attack rather than understanding what it is.

You may go around back for a nice cup of hot, spiced mead. A sack of grain for each family, as well! Merry Christmas!

I think I'll crack open a bottle of Oligarchy bubbly in honor of this bullshit.

So does that make me part of "the oligarchy"?

What a new load of shit.

I'm pretty freakin' poor myself at the moment and struggling like hell. But I've never viewed champagne - particularly during this week - as a symbol of the 1%. it's a symbol of celebration for a great many people.

But go ahead, hang your hat on that as a winning strategy and just continue to look upon so many as being stupid.

Let them eat cake too

Was the sig line for "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." They didn't invent the association of champagne and caviar with wealth and fame. It was pretty well understood. As it is in this context.
This is snub of people who are too poor or too time constrained to go to happy hour, out to dinner, to socialize at all. People Democrats should stand up for and respect.

Otherwise your post stands on its own as classic example.

A further disconnect from Sanders supporters with reality.

.....looking for inspiration?

or something.

But at New Year's? C'mon. Try and tell that to the general population this week that champagne and champagne glasses are elitist 1% symbols.

I want to enjoy the campaign season! Fill my flute too. I want to smile and this makes me smile....

...cake plates for everyone else perhaps?

Maybe Chinet plates to give them a little class.

They called me begging for money (after I learned that they were one of the largest Clinton donors) and when I told them I did not support Clinton, the caller got all nasty and told me she hoped my job was one that got outsourced when a republican was elected POTUS. I told her that there was an alternative that did not involve Clinton or any other republican and she told me to perform an anatomically impossible act and hung up.

Extremely rude and no class.

At least not until they untangle themselves from the DWS- DNC.

Democratic National Committee – 2013-14

You do know this is Democratic Underground, right?

I ask, becuase they didn't actually mention the subject, and so i can't guess, myself.

Not through Emily's List.

because I prefer selecting the candidates I contribute to myself and because I prefer selecting them without regards to gender. (I also do not like DWS.)

Dacey has a resume that includes a high level union position, work on the most liberal of the viable candidates' campaign in 2004, continuing on his PAC which did incredible work for the 2006 election. Her work before that - on Hinkley's and Slaughter's campaigns - both very very liberal - and at NOW suggest to me that she is a liberal feminist.

Federico graduated with a BA from Boston University in 2012 - since then she has worked as a WH intern and on various campaigns. She was hired by Emily's list a year and a half after she got her BA - from this information, she sounds like someone any liberal political organization might hire

Think I missed the joke here

seen in a while.

In an epic turn of events Hillary Clinton appears to be ending her campaign after an online "pundit" brought to light serious optic issues with her campaign.

FluteGate seems to have hit home on two fronts. Republicans seeing the name FluteGate are reminded of Lewinsky as anything that can even remotely be seen as phallic makes them think of Clinton; Paul supporters claim it represents her ignorance to wealth inequality. This has really had an impact on the messenge of both camps as they see it as a "winner".

We asked Multimillionaire and Super Berner Sarah Silverman about this very topic when we ran into her leaving Gucci.

"It's just fucked up how out of touch with reality she is. You can't get into a bottle of champagne for under eight god damn dollars!!!" Silverman said.

We pulled up behind actor, rapper, and multimillionaire Killer Mike and noticed he was sporting a "Say No To Flutes" bumper sticker. We attempted to catch up to him for comment but he was a little too fast in his 2015 Porsche Carrera Twin-Turbo.

One thing is for sure, with SPACETraveler and Scoot on the ground reporting, there will be more to come.

#BernItDown

UPDATE: After Scoot spent the night working sources he informed me that Killer Mike was attending an early Sunday Morning Social Breakfast at the local Country Club. When I arrived and snuck past security I was horrified to find it was a champagne breakfast.

I got close enough to blurt out "Killer Mike, I saw the sticker on the back of your car, any comment on FluteGate?"

Killer Mike replied "That sticker is in reference to the woodwind you dumb mother fucker!!! Back off me and my Dom!!!"

I am a gay man highly critical of Human Rights Campaign , for example, does that make me a freeper as well? your reasoning is seriously ridiculous and flawed.

Amirite?

A champagne flute is now 1% elitism.

Got it. That's a winning story to put forward to draw more people to his campaign.

But oh my god, even the slightest little bit of extra luxury is a sign of creeping fascism!

$3 a flute? I don't know if I can associate with a 1%er like you.

In fact, drinking anything more expensive than Bud Light out of a brown paper bag is class treason.

Yes, there's expensive as shit champagne, but this isn't like they're handing out caviar spoons.

If this is supposed to be the latest sign of Hillary's liberal elitism, I think you're scraping a little low. Might want to restock your outrage reserves.

Practically every corporate office across the country brings in basic stuff for those that are there - working or for the party before folks go home.

My significant other got a basic bottle as a gift before Christmas for New Year's as well. Nothing expansive or fancy, but a small company and a couple hundred bucks spent across the main office folks for a little something.

But perhaps that makes her the 1% now if she drinks it in a champagne flute.

The "leaders" listed on the website are just... wait how do you say it?... I don't want to get it wrong... Oh I remember! DWS-DNC-HRC-WTF Plants!

Did I get that right?

Fits right into the Hillary Clinton economic and social strata.

You do realize their whole purpose is electing pro-choice democratic women, right?

This place is losing it seriously.

... it has been considerably more snobby.

Really champagne flutes?
Even the New Year's celebration angle is tone deaf.
Something like 80 percent of Americans basically stay home on New Year's Eve and get some sleep.

The effects of Clintonianism are pernicious -- somehow, someway their association with her will come back to taint them.

It's not like you can order them from an imprinter for as low as 93 cents...

Emily's list. Sweet Jesus.

Been waiting for someone to discuss issues with me.

Foreign policy.

Why do you think Clinton wants to continue the same neocon policies regarding Middle East problem of ISIL/Daesh?

Bernie has a different, agreeable approach to ISIL/Daesh. Instead of the U.S. being the world police, it is suggested that the Middle Eastern countries take the lead which is the right idea, with support.

And I disagree that Hillary wants to continue "neocon policies"

She believes in a a coalition, but this also includes local Iraqi units for guidance and efficiency.

This approach seems much more feasible to me than than just suggest "The Middle Eastern countries" take the lead. That is -like I said- an overly simplistic approach. These countries are not a monolithic group. There's a lot of diversity among them, and it should be taken into account.

Now, how is Sanders going to pay for his proposals?

There are many proposals that Bernie has brought forth that has a way to pay for it.

Please clarify.

In regards to Syria, why would Clinton want to set up a no-fly zone where there is no air force from Syria. Only Russians aircraft are up there now. Butting heads with Putin?

and no-fly zone can help protect civilians from the worst of the violence. Kerry has also been for it

None of them even deserves more than 10% of their maximum wealth of their co-workers.

the disparity is 697 to 1.

Take out his magic scissors and start snipping? Ask "pretty please, take a pay cut?"


How is he going to do this?

Cut the CEO compensations around the world to 25%



....and AROUND the WORLD, no less!!!!

Hey, you rich Chinese businessmen--you cut those salaries by seventy five percent--or I'm going to yell and point at you!!! You Russians over there with all your fancy cars and apartments--no more than ten percent for you! Because I SAID so!!!!

And by president I actually mean dictator so that he can cut that pesky CEO pay, fuck it lets just install him as leader forever.



Check please... Reality check that is.

Will he wave his magic wand? Will he hypnotize these CEOs?

And it's particularly perfect when you consider it was your demand to "discuss policy" (as if you or anyone are in a position to "demand" anything from anybody here) that put you there.

Lordy me... Classic.

They have a better proofreader.

It would be a disaster for him.

when you pry it out of my cold, dead hand.

Which it's anything but.

Champagne is elitist?

Or both?

Kroger isn't what I'd call elitist.

would serve Hawaiian Punch in Dixie cups at state dinners.

And something people who don't live on the coasts would know anything about.

acting like us Iowa hicks had never heard of green tea.

I'll order some right now!

but I guess if you NEED something to be outraged about.
