Wait, Bernie going Negative?
Not having a TV, I'm out of the loop. She making that up? Can't picture Bernie doing negative.

He never did give her hell,
he just told the truth and she thought it was hell.

Facts = Negativity
At least in the world view of HRC.
Bernie has not gone negative - this is simply the 'accuse him of something he is not and repeat it enough to get it to stick' schtick... a Lee Atwater tactic perfected by Karl Rove.
But today's voters are much more sophisticated - hence the blow back on Twitter.

There would be ways to do it
Inappropriate ways to drag her through the mud. If he did, which I highly doubt is going to happen; it would be on the FP of [Redacted] so no worries about missing anything.
Must be rough to run against the guy who actually showed up and voted against going to war (tiny violins).
Stay on track. Stay in lane. Don't throw rocks.
I really can't say this enough
I remember only too well how insane this country went after 9/11. It was flat out scary to be someone who just refused to go along with all the "let's get Saddam" crap, etc. Now we have a chance to vote for a person who had the guts to stand up against Congress and say no. Imagine what it must have taken to do that.
Stay on track. Stay in lane. Don't throw rocks.
Well said, Miep. And I love your new avatar. I think you and
Bernie are on the same wavelength :=) Have a great day.

And now back to the issues that I think are important
Clinton 2016 in a nutshell.
prog - weirdo | dog - woof
Yeah... that response was not well played
but it was pure Clinton. Who cares about the issues some POC might think are important. Let's get back to what *I* think is important...
So powerful - thanks.
Every time I listen to that speech I get goose bumps and wanna run out and fight the good fight.
We are in the midst of a Movement that crosses over all political parties and will last beyond any election or political suppression...it has been fomenting for many years and We The People of all colors, types, ages, sex, and economic standing Will Not Be Denied in the end, however long it takes. History proves this time and time again.

I'm having trouble with the evolution of English.
Seems like everything's happening so fast these days. Is "evolving" like "flip-flopping" used to be?

The twitter folks are cowards!
Second time they felt they had to censor Bernie supporters. Keep it going, twitter folks. Keep those clever hashtags coming - swarm them - overwhelm them - we've got the momentum!

So I guess twitter isn't too bad after all?????

I don't know - I don't tweet.

If you acknowledge it, you can change it.

Indeed.
The issue is, I don't want to tweet.

Is she shielded from all this fun?
Does her campaign tell her everything is just hunky dorey out there? There's no twitter crap trending against you, hrc, baby. Is that what she's told? I hope she sees how the country views her. Not that it will deter her from her goal to obtain all that power she can taste, though, she'll double down.
Bring on the chickens!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shush

Last one for now
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."
Removed? COWARDS....
Who does Hillary know at Twitter, that they're kissing her ass again on this? This is the second time that I know of that they've done this....
At some point I think it
At some point I think it would be fair to rule that social media spaces such as facebook and twitter are part of the public sphere. Just my wishful thinking perhaps.
