Hashtag Drop Out Hillary Going Viral

As a loyal Bernie supporter, IMO, it is long overdue. The bullying by fellow progressives has been alarming. The court ruling today...that she may be compelled to answer questions ..adds fuel to the fire.
.
Every dang day HRC's News Networks has pushed, prodded, manipulated and more, with DNC's DWS right there screaming...for Bernie to quit.

Not so nice...now that the shoe fits Hillary's foot, with Twitter folks marching out the hashtag

have to ask that question. I do understand that blind loyalty is sooo much easier. You dont have to bother with knowing anything about her positions.

For one they agreed on invading Iraq. That's a big one. Tough Hillary wasn't so tough against Bush/Cheney. She not only didn't tell them to get fracked like she should have, she acquiesced and helped them, sell their lies.

Fracking oil company profits over water quality for the masses.
Job killing free trade agreements NAFTA, TPP, TPIP
Not allowing medical marijuana to those suffering. This one is really nasty.
Prisons For Profits with strong laws and long sentences
Killing SS. She pretends to like SS but will give it to Goldman-Sachs for a few pieces of gold.
The corruption of Big Money in government via Citizens United.
Unregulated domestic spying and no oversight for the NSA/CIA Security State.
Drone killing of terrorist "suspects" in foreign lands (100 innocents killed for each suspect)
American Exceptionalism as an excuse for neocon imperialism.
The use of cluster bombs near civilian areas.
Not helping college students afford college (telling them to get a job doesn't cut it).
Letting major corps get away without paying their fair share of taxes
Increasing the defense budget
Supporting the militarization of our local police forces.

* Sanders refuses to accept money from super PACs. Hillary and the Republicans do not.

Bernie is still thought to have a 2% chance to win according to CNN's predict feature:

http://www.cnn.com/specials/politics/predict

Of course he's only at 1% to win the General.

He can't possibly meet 2383 and it's highly unlikely he will even have a simple majority. The supers are never going to switch. I don't mind if he wants to continue but I do think it's making him look ridiculous.

Generally when the 2nd place candidate has no mathematical possibility of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, he gracefully withdraws. If he's going to hang around until they turn out the lights, then his goal is not overcoming the impossible odds and winning the nomination, but dragging down the front runner.

Forcing the leading Democratic Presidential canditdate to fight Trump and the GOP, plus counter the attacks from an angry and disgruntled sore loser from her own Party is really bad form.

That's just another cheap potshot at a woman. Here's the thing, I'd rather have the Democratic nominee concentrate all her efforts on defeating Trump. In a prize fight like this, instead of preparing to stand up against every dirty trick a nasty guy like Trump is going to throw at her, she also has to contend with a petty Bernie throwing spitballs and biting her ankles.

Hillary didn't become a powerful international figure by being fearful. Some men see intelligent, assertive women like her as being "more of a man than most men" because they feel emasculated and impotent. They might compensate by attacking women as inferior to men, claiming to be victims themselves, much as you did here.

Donald Trump employs the same tactic in attacking women and when he's been called out, he tries to flip the sexism charges around to say Hillary is just pandering to women, just as you did. Where you have a "boo hoo hoo card", he has the “woman’s card”, birds of a feather, yeah?

Hillary? why not fight until a winner is decided? Do you think that fighting Sanders will weaken her so she won't be able to defeat Trump. If so, she isn't the right candidate.

She is winning the nomination and shrugging off the ridiculous Emailgate non-story. I highly doubt anyone would ever demand a male candidate front-runner to just up and quit, so y'all go the whole misogyny angle down pat here, too.

You all must not want us to support her if she wins primary. Well you really don't need us since she has Wall St. $ & the corrupt DNC on her side. BTW it has nothing to do with Hillary being a woman, though as a woman I question that. You sound like what the old establishment said about us hippies in the late 60's early 70's.

142. Not my job to win you over, you will have to decide to vote for your own self-interests
Thu May 5, 2016, 08:10 PM
May 2016

If those self-interests mean voting for a xenophobic racist who hates Latinos, women, and Muslims, then that will have to sit on your conscience. If you decide to sit out the g.e. in a huff because your 1st choice lost the primary, then your inaction will have to sit on your conscience as well.

You're supposedly an adult; take responsibility for voting and the consequences therein.

and she switched parties to join the Republicons to invade Iraq. Not so tough then. Apparently Bush and Cheney were able to "convince" her to switch allegiances, convinced her to help spread the lies about WMD.

weaknesses and blind spots. It is evident whenever she speaks to an audience that is less than 100% behind her. When she has to address people that are neutral, ambivalent or suspicious of her, it flusters her.

I don't even want to think about how humiliating the 5 months up to the GE will be for Democrats if she ends up being our nominee.
