WOW! How out of touch can one be, or is it just blatant lies, because "The Bern"

Bullying, Insulting and Telling women what to do, as intimidation to those that like "The Bern"?
Albright? Really! That was rich, from the rich.

Nice one for Wall Street. Led directly to the last two financial crashes. Dear Bill. Always looking out for the little guy - himself.

My wallet did just fine with Bill as President, thank you very much as well as many, many other people. One of the most popular presidents ever.


IF it's your opinion that there ARE no "Bernie Bros' and it's all just the Clinton's busy online pretending to be Bernie fans (what's one more conspiracy) ~ then just come on out and SAY it.


Though I think your are getting your Hillary hating threads mixed up.

Overall, I thought the feminist movement was about having your individual freedom of choice. I think a true feminist would encourage women to think for themselves, choose the candidate that reflects their personal belief system and encourage women to exercise the hard won right to vote. I thought that was the most important thing. What happened to that?

The new message thoroughly disappoints.
I fought for the Equal Rights amendment and while it just missed passing, it did change our country and our world.

But that has nothing to do with supporting the corrupt politics that the Clintons engender. Bernie is authentic and had always fought for working families, even while Clinton is giving $250,000 speeches to Bankers.

They are both old women in their 80s.
Their fights were fought in the past, in a different time, that defined them both for the rest of their lives. I'm sure that if Bella Abzug was still alive, she would be saying the same things.

This is a different century, a vastly different society, and our nation now has a much different racial and social makeup than things were 50 years ago. Old people, by and large, are not as flexible in their thinking as they once were, and I think this is especially true among the early feminists.

A lot of what they wanted the most a half century ago came to pass, but not in the way they envisioned. That's the way it always is with a revolution; the revolutionaries who were the first to lead the movement are always left disappointed in the end because the outcome is never as pure and perfectas the cause that started the revolution.

She knew long time ago that she wanted to run for office, so she stuck to Bill just to have the Clinton name and that is what she is using now. She cares about showing how women should respect themselves, she stuck to Bill even though he cheated many times.


She has her own political agenda. Nevermind the FBI investigation going on right now. Didn't they shun General Petreaus( spelling) for less severe offense?


But she is innocent until proven guilty. Maybe that's why they are getting Biden Ready just in case.

My oh my. The Clinton's are way above dirty tricks. Glad you made money under Clinton. Explains everything. So did others and they paid them off nicely. $150 million isn't chump change. Bankers know their friends. As Bernie said, the business model of Wall Street is fraud.

Hillary Clinton: "Fighting for Us." That's on her signs.

Can anyone name a fight she's won? That would be her accomplishment.

They fought to have Glass Steagall repealed which was the biggest gift to Wall Street in our history. Wall Street doesn't give $150 million in speaking fees unless it was well earned.

"In 1999 Congress passed the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act to repeal them, with nearly all Republicans and a majority of Democrats in favor. Eight days later, President Bill Clinton signed it into law."

A little known accomplishment of the Clintons.

I would never vote for a candidate based solely on their race, gender or political party.

The fact that Sanders won't smear Hillarys emails back at her or use her name directly in his ads about wall street shows he is weak and we need someone strong....Sanders even backed off to 2 black lives women who took control of his microphone at a rally!!!! weak, Weak, WEAK....The weak need not apply for POTUS...
