Oh my.
And to think that 1993-2001, the old bat was worshipping his ass, forgave him all.

Open your eyes. This election is not about YOU.
This election is not about you.
It's not about electing someone whose clothes or "coif" or "elegance" or pumps you admire.
It's not about electing someone who is like you in gender or age.
It's not about electing someone because they've been beaten so badly before.
It's not about elevating a woman whose husband is a bum who shamed her.
It's not about glamour, or celebrity, or any other such attribute you may admire.
This election is not about YOU.
You (and I) are part of the past.
This election is about bigger, broader things than most discussion here on DU considers.
This election is, ultimately, about a future that is not ours.
A planet that cannot survive while fossil fuels and fracking do.
A democracy that cannot survive when segments are locked up for profit because of their color.
A generation that cannot survive without hope for their lives.
A people who cannot survive hungry children while leaders dine with fat cats.
A justice system that cannot survive two tiers of law.
This election is about the future. It's not about you, it's not about me. It's not about our vanity or status or mood.
Ask your children. Ask your grandchildren. What do they think this election is about? And who will best serve their needs?
And get over yourself.
Although she doesn't credit the source, <<<thinks that Judy stole this from somewhere.

1. Good point. That's why I'm for Hillary.
Ooops. That wasn't the reaction for which the Bernie bully Judy'd hoped.

50. So true....
It's not about the size of the adoring crowds that chant your name
Or the way your tech savvy legions have successfully dominated the on line conversation
It's not the size of your war chest
Or the number of times you voted your ideals despite not being able to get your colleagues to follow..
These are serious times that require proven leadership, not visions of what leadership could be, one day, if only...
The republican party lies in wait, ready to tear it apart, tear it on down, tear at the very fabric that mends this American Dream
I'm with Her. She's run their gauntlet time and again and still stands.
She's ready, day one.

36. I never liked him. I met him decades ago and he was a real egomaniacal jerk.
I couldn't believe it when I heard he was running for POTUS as a Democrat. He hates Democrats and he's been denigrating the party since his Burlington days.
I honestly don't get the appeal. He's always talking and never doing anything and he doesn't work well with others.
Hillary Clinton has been fighting for women and children around the world for decades. She has accomplished so many incredible things in her many careers but all Sander's supporters can do is pick out the mistakes. Look at Bernie's gun votes! He makes mistakes and he has never accomplished anything. It's easy to stay pure when your top accomplishment is naming Post Offices.
Incidentally, Hillary learns from and apologizes for her mistakes. Bernie still thinks his gun votes are just AOK!
<<<bets Judy's kicking herself for having stolen that from somewhere, and posted it.

response to Judy grasswire's original post, which she probably got from somewhere else
62. Open your eyes. This election is not about YOUR biases.
It's not about electing someone who has far more often been mocked for wearing pants suits, headbands, or dressing casually when flying all over the country, even if that type of behavior doesn't help you when you suggest women aren't constantly judged for their looks.
It's not about electing someone you think we are voting for because we have ovaries and want someone who has them to get a chance.
It's not about electing someone because we think they're a martyr when they are clearly anything but.
It's not about electing someone because their husband screwed around on them, which at least one poster had the courtesy to self-delete last night before I showed them the video of that accusation made in 2008 on national television by a RWer.
It's not about us liking Hillary because she's well-known, and certainly not because we want a queen to worship in some form of cult, as a horrible article from Salon posted suggested and got hundreds of recommendations.
This election is not about sexism, except when people decide in posts like ones here that actually suggest people are voting for Hillary because they think she dresses snazzy.
Such horrific posts should be a part of the past, but they apparently aren't, because this inanity would ever be posted on DU.
This election is about bigger, broader things than most discussion here on DU considers, which is about the truest thing in your post until that point.
This election is, ultimately, about a future that is not ours.
A planet that cannot survive while fossil fuels and fracking do -- and Hillary accepted all of 0.2% of her contributions from employees who work in those industries. Maybe ones who work there because they have no other choice.
A democracy that cannot survive when segments are locked up for profit because of their color -- which Hillary has fought against long before she was elected.
A generation that cannot survive without hope for their lives -- which a vote against her in the General, or staying at home, will make worse.
A people who cannot survive hungry children while leaders dine with fat cats -- and philanthropy is something that we should encourage, not attack.
A justice system that cannot survive two tiers of law -- again, something Hillary has worked to change pro-bono long before she was elected to anything.
This election is about the future. It's not about you, it's not about me.
Ask your children. Ask your grandchildren. What do they think this election is about? And who will best serve their needs?
And get over your extremely childish and naive notion that people who support the Democratic Nominee, who this time seems to have been chosen by the voters to be Hillary, are doing so because of the inane reasons you gave.

101. Did you expect to change minds after the condescending claptrap you wrote?
grasswire (47,572 posts) Mon Apr 25, 2016, 02:49 AM
107. well, I hoped to instill a wee bit of doubt...
...or maybe a little shame.
But generally, no. Closed minds don't change.
Beacool (28,292 posts) Mon Apr 25, 2016, 02:52 AM
109. A little shame???????
I'm very proud to have voted for Hillary in 2008 and to do so now.
Did you expect to open minds with your derision, sarcasm and ignorant post???
It's a long thread; Judy gets mauled, as she well should be.
Such things happen to people when they yap about things about which they understand nothing.

:yawn:

The irony is that every damned one of them expects to be at the head of the line whenever the magical unicorn shits out the free skittles.

Most people are not afraid of socialism, or even of communism.
Poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith is a communist.

I knew the Hildebeast reminded me of another socialist leader.
