HOORAY! WE MADE THE REC LIST!!! Thank you everyone who was willing to go over there to help this diary out. I so appreciate it, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I know that I am entering the lion's den. If you want to pet some lovable, cuddly lions, I would so very love to have you join me.
Thank you everyone. Go Bernie Go!

There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties.. This...is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.--John Adams
The same from me!
Good luck dealing with the comment section.
Zeus, By Jove
There is this grim scene towards the end of this I, Claudius episode (about 44:50 if you must) where Caligula comes out of a room after doing unspeakable things to his wife/sister and bumps into Claudius. With just a bit of blood and a few feathers on his face, he tells Claudius "Don't go in there."
Which pretty much sums up my attitude towards TOS comment sections these days...
We can’t save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed.
- Greta Thunberg
That scene haunted me watching it in the '70's.
TOS is bad, but not Caligula bad.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
You got us off on the right start!

Great Diary!
Explained in my comment on your diary, I got a message from moderators or somebody at TOP that I had rec'd a comment which was determined to possibly be or some fuggle language about "shillling" so I am NR for a week
But I couldn't let a diary like yours go by without at least a comment.
How the heck does Shrillary Clinton think she's going to get ANY votes, let-a-long Democrats, when she waffles, waddles, waxes & wanes the way she does. She seems determined to prove words don't mean a damn thing. Repeat a lie often enough and maybe somebody will believe her, operating principle?
Now she's on about how magnanimous she was in supporting Obama in 2008. Bloody hell, she HAD to because she knew she was going to run again for POTUS and couldn't if she didn't!!!!!! What a hypocrite. She was talking to Rachel Sellout Maddow, and Clinton said after her spchiel "well, it's what one does!"
Her royal assness, and waiting for her next to say "We are not amused." ( Correctly attributed to Queen Victoria!)
Thanks again for speaking out in such a powerful diary!
Thank you for being part of it
You are very kind. I enjoyed what happened today, and having so many people participating together. It felt like we were all a united team. It felt very special. And I'm very glad that you were there!
~OaWN
Thank you so much!
I love your comment over there, but I bit my tongue because I got accused of sealioning the other day. I figure I'd save my voice, lol.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This one is so personal.

Hillary always leaves space to evolve...
With Hillary there's an exception for every rule, and a rule for every exception. While not directly related, it is one of many reasons I cannot tolerate her policy proposals. They end up being top-down, bureaucratic boondoggles. Sometimes the simplest solutions and the clearest terms are the appropriate response, but you would never find that with Hillary on any issue.
Yes, like with fracking.
Do you support fracking?
Hillary: multiple-minute, wonky word salad with lots of regulatory exceptions.
Bernie: "My answer is much simpler. No."
Tipped, rec'd and offered some comments.
WTF is Unduna's deal?
Not sure how long I'll be able to tolerate the willful ignorance in service to Her Highness. But I commend you greatly for taking this plunge. The more people who see it -- and the ensuing pretzels that Hillary's blind partisans are willing to twist themselves into in order to ignore the obvious point of your diary -- the better.
Here's a copy of the comment I posted there
Feminist Hillary:
first, some context, as in the rape we are talking about:
The victim in this case was so young and unknowledgable about sex that they had to repeat her lie detector test after educating her. She then passed the lie detector test. Her account of what happened is considered true and is not challenged. Still, ….. Hillary was assigned to defend the rapist in this case. One one level, she did her job. We want defense attorney’s to be vigorous in their defense. Even the victim was holding onto that concept, until she learned of this:
Clinton made up lies about the defendant and argued that she was a promiscuous young girl, coming onto older men. She also claimed that the victim had accused others of sexual assault, which was not true. And she punctuated it all with this:
This is Clinton’s version of feminism.
Lying to cover up scumminess?
I guess Bernie isn't the only one who can claim to be consistent over the last 40 years.
Sick, sick to even admit that lawyerly practice
and seem to show pride. There is no compassion from her, except in a vague, hypothetical sense, or in public where it makes her look Queenly and caring.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
My mind keeps blanking on this
It's new to me EVERY time I read about it.
It's too painful to keep this in my brain.

Oh, Una! Holy crap!
You know that Hillbots are as afraid of the truth about that woman as vampires are of sunlight, right?
You might get banned for this. I'll bet they're wailing and gnashing their teeth. Hell, smoke might be coming off some of them.
Brava!
somehow, I didn't get banned.
I didn't even get hide-rated.
I'm not sure why. I seem to keep slipping in under the radar.
I have tossed two flags
denialist male assholes. Now I shall wait for a ban, strike 3. Worth it, OaWN.

"Dumbest fucking thing I've ever read."
Tossed one on that myself.
Unbelievable.
And I see a JTRicher has uprated a comment that at least two of
us flagged. After the flags, Wonder what will happen to JTRicher? And the 3 who tipped that person? Grrrrrrr.

I see you're taking some hits there
I took a couple of hits when I brought up this exact issue in the comments to a diary at GOS a few days ago:
Dear Republicans - stay away from my body!
Stay strong.
Hillary lovers have blinders on
in the sense that they are not interested in anything that detracts from the race against a Republican. This is not necessarily unique to them, of course. It's common among partisans of any politician or ideology.
Tipped, rec'd, and commented to a shill.
You are one brave cookie, OaWN! I applaud you for your tenacity. They are going to defend her even if she says all abortion must be banned this minute. She can say what The Donald said about stepping outside and killing people - they would still think her ass smells like roses. Okay, that visual is making me stop now.
It's painful to go there. The vibe is depressing. Okay, better cheer back up!!!

I actually got an uncommitted to say they'd do more research
and get back to me on the subject. I took that as a very positive thing.

If you got that promise from
Denise whatsername on the front page, don't hold your breath.
Had to duck out - feeling physically ill
Tried to do some push-back. Hard to keep seeing straight through some of what's thrown.
YOU ARE SO BRAVE!
I said something nice to a someone who said their wife was able to have a needed abortion with a dead fetus and someone else jumped down my throat and said the other poster was voting for Trump so how could I say something nice to that person.
What? I said I was happy the wife was alive and that they had a family.
Humanitarianism is entirely off the table for that person, I guess. Talk about Hillary supporters making her look bad!

Yeah, I couldn't stomach it, either.
I made my comment, replied to one other and had to leave. It's sickening.
It is to the point there that if Hillary said
she didn't like asparagus, and asparagus farmers who post on DK (yeah) took offense, DK Hillarians would probably boycott asparagus. And encourage their friends!!!!

I particularly like the line of reasoning
... if you could call it that... which basically said, "Sure she said that. But she didn't mean it."
In other words, she's a liar. Yet when I call her that I also get told that's unfair. Hillary obviously confuses me.
A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.
