In reply to the discussion: The DNC Contenders Are Not Interested In Your Populist Moment (Huffpo) [View all]betsuni
(28,518 posts)34. it never ends.
        A few hours ago on DU I saw the claim that Hillary tried to rehabilitate Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney endorsed Hillary, Trump and the Clinton's are best friends, Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka are best friends: Kissinger, Cheney, Trump and all the bad oligarchs are best friends with the Clintons. WAKE UP!111 Hillary worked for Walmart at some point so CORPORATIST. Plus something about "shouting down people" by saying "I'm tired of all the lies" -- that one I hadn't heard. Will have to look it up and see what nutty fake news that is.

        Berniebros operate from the ridiculous perception that it was a close primary.

        Cute. Except that it is Bernie's and Warren's positions I support, not them per se.

        ITA.  Black and Latino voters put their fingers on the scale for Hillary Clinton.

        +1, I have no doubt that after the VRA is gutted that black turnout would be down after KGOP

        Yeah, even in today's climate that one would have lasted 15 seconds here on DU.

        This was a WEAK article.  I watched much of that forum, and MANY populist things were said.
