Repeating lies does not make your case. Assad is behind the destabilizing of Syria; no-one else. Hillary at least has some plans to deal with it. Too many lefties just say whatever America does is wrong and leave it at that. NO, it's not that simple. Sometimes people rise up for their rights and their dictators shoot them down. This is Planet Earth; it happens.

Quote: The FBI said she was "extremely careless"..  & she wants to run with the nuclear football? Uh no.

So were Rice and Powell then. She sent emails about sensitive issues to her colleagues, but nowadays hacking has become more dangerous so that practice can't be allowed any more.

Quote:She's against single payer- that's a dealbreaker right there- & will doubtless flip back on TPP, considering her operatives vetoed anti TPP planks in the party's platform. Yes Bernie got some concessions, but  the real stuff, the stuff that actually counts- no.  

Bernie said she moved on health care. How do you know she wouldn't be for single payer, if she thought she could get it? Hillary has some sense of the possible. If her operatives put anti-TPP into the platform, that's good. It seemed like a good policy, what they arrived at. If the platform requires conditions for approval which can't be met, then that's the same as opposing it, as she said she would again in her speech with Bernie today.

Quote:As for Jill, she's simply not pulling her punches the way Bernie was. But then Jill's no Artist either. Also, as I've told you before, I'm playing a longer game than this election. I want to see the Greens get their 5 or 10%- whichever it is. With Fric & Frac running we all know a clown is gonna get in the White House so voter turnout is gonna be low. All the more easier for the Greens to hit critical mass . Already the Bernie groups I know of are switching over to Jill, altho the official Dexit won't be until after the Convention. Look how far Bernie got without any help from the media or the DNC, if these groups organize for Jill just imagine what they can do for her.

Stick with Jill Eric, this is the yr to vote Green

That's understandable. In the long term the Greens might be players. I am a registered Green, so I didn't even vote for Bernie, since that's not allowed in CA, but for Stein. So, we'll see what I decide.

It might be ironic for me, having voted Green every year since 1996, if this is "the year to vote Green," and I vote Democratic again? Because I like Hillary, while lots of leftie folks don't?
