I agree that she's part and parcel of that big money system (almost) everybody hates. But, the questions should be about how to change that system and her or anyone's plans for changing it. What are they?

Pretty interesting since her campaign machine has been in place since 2008.

On an anecdotal level, I have liberal friends on FB who are going with Sanders over Hillary because they say she switched her position on gay marriage, voted for the war in Iraq, and because "she doen't know how to use email".
So trust seems to be an issue to many of the Democrats I know.


A democrat in Texas is a republican everywhere else.

That's either a Jim Hightower or Molly Ivins quote.

Your and chud's posts in the Political Jokes Only thread make Texas look like Nazi Germany. ;D

I recommend this book for those on the fence about the Clintons. The Hitch was a ruthlessly moral man who told it like it was.

Doc, you posted a cartoon of Obama golfing with a monkey on his shirt sleeve. When I called you on it you removed it without comment. I may be an idiot but you are a white supremacist.

Nah, I don't think that any real White (or other color) supremacists would stick around here very long. I do think that comments can get mean spirited. But, if someone posts something offensive and then takes it down, it's an indication that he or she felt it was inappropriate. Real supremacists would never do that.

Steve, don't apologize to white people for them calling Obama a monkey. It's supposed to be the other way around.

If Rush and Clarence can get along....

Well, I never saw the picture in question; and, the reason is because it was taken down. I may ave taken down a few things too after I thought about it. Otoh, I've seen lots of "Obama related to monkey" cartoons. From my perspective, it's even silly to call the people who present those pics as "supremacists." They're trying to be funny, but they only make me laugh at them. Supremacists are a different kettle of fish altogether, ime.

You clearly don't know me. :/

I remember the cartoon in question. I actually didn't get its implication until you commented on it. I removed it because I then realized that it was inappropriate and not in agreement with my personal views and feelings. End of story. -shrug-

Taste of Death, a monkey on someone's shoulder (back?) is not the same as calling someone a monkey. This was a civil discussion until you started trolling it. Cut it out.

Sam Harris is as Liberal as they come. It's just the cracks in the right left paradigm that are fucking with you.

There are liberals who are smart and use their brains to actually parse issues and then there are kool aid drinkers who don't know how to think for themselves and just follow what people like Noam Chomsky tell them.
