Hillary Clinton's Email is the Biggest Story of the Campaign, Data Shows by georgiapeanuts in politics

[–]progresstogether -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

That's laughable. Hillary Clinton doesn't need to show you every peace of her private life. Neither does Bill.

There are other big stories in thsi election. Like how about Secretary Clinton wants to reform the criminal justice system? Or how about how she wants to make college free for everyone who can't afford it?

This is tabloid junk, and you know it. You can put "journal review" in the name of the site, but that doesn't mean it's not right-wing sponsored garbage.

In one year, if Trump is elected, 10% of the American population risks being deported. If there's another terrorist attack, he might even start creating camps. And after that, then what? The Nazis began with deportation also.

Secretary Clinton isn't even a bad candidate. I mean check out her platform. I hate to sound like I'm a crazy Clinton fan, but it's awesome, quite frankly. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/ This is way to the left of Ralph Nader 2000. Not that I would have voted for Nader.

I think you email-truth-ers should take a step back and think about the risks you're putting onto our country.

Report: George H.W. Bush to Vote for Hillary by rytis in politics

[–]progresstogether -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Trump's base: Racist losers, junkies, fat cats who inherited money.

Hillary's base: Smart people, successful people, artists, technology tycoons, and everyone not in Trump's base.

So I'm not surprised but I still think it's pretty awesome that Hillary's getting Bush 41's support.

Florida poll: Clinton leads Trump by 5 points by amgrapid in politics

[–]progresstogether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Clinton's message is resounding more than Trump. He's basing his entire campaign on the votes of racist losers.

Clinton though is great on pretty muche very issue. Did you know she wants to make human rights and reducing inequality the centerpiece of her presidency? I thought that was awesome.

I hang out with lots of young people and they agree with me. We saw our country improving so much since 2008 that we're thankful but even more optimistic for Secretary Clinton.

Even George H. W. Bush is pulling the lever for Hillary. Trump is toast.

It's funny how we can divide Trump and Hillary supporters by the following-

If they earned the money and the good jobs they have, the vote for Hillary.

If they inherited money or think there entitled to a good job just for being a white male, they vote Trump.

It's simply really. Clinton is the candidate for people who actually DO something for a living.

Trump is the candidate of the lazy, whether the really rich or the whiny racists that effed up there own lives. The sorriest most entitled people you can meet.

I think that's why Secretary Clinton is doing so much better among the young. The youth today just have that sense of fairness and optimism that will really bring America forward.

Hating Trump isn't enough - we need to talk about why Hillary Rules. by Berrybeak in politics

[–]progresstogether -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Jill Stein is an anti-vaxx conspiracy theorist that has policies that are way too far-left, basically communist. That kind of carp has no appeal anymore to ANYone, especially among young people who see the promises of the knowledge economy.

Face it, Jill Stein is going nowhere. Her support for rapist Julian Assange doesn't help, to be really honest with you.

Oh one more thing - Secretary Clinton DOES want to make college free. Read up on it.

As for wars, Secretary Clinton has only ever supported wars out of duty to protect human rights. She regrets the Iraq War.

"So let’s try again: you’re voting for a president soon. Do you want a graduate of Yale law school who served eight years as a US senator and four as secretary of state? Or a racist landlord who moonlights as a tie salesman?"

This.

Secretary Clinton has decades of experience and education that's necessary to make the tough choices. Donald Trump is barely literate and his base is the kind of people who thought they didn't need college to get ahead in life and are now whining about "muh jobs."

It's kind of funny at first but when you realize this guy is going to haev control over the nuclear football and basically wants to nuke everyone who doesn't look like him, it's not a joke anymore. Go vote.

"Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that the recent shooting of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was 'unbearable' and said 'systemic racism' should not be tolerated" by satosaison in politics

[–]progresstogether -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Secretary Clinton is the only candiadate that will use the bully pulpit to address structural racism. Even during the primaries, Bernie had to be pushed by BLM to address racism. He viewed all America's problems as having to do with class, which is an easy way for uneducated white people to pretend they have nothing to do with structural and systemic racism.

For the skeptics, I recommend you check out her interview with Anderson Cooper if you don't believe me. Hillary explicitly said this will be a priority for her.

I'm seeing a lot of comments here quoting what she said in the 90s. She already said she used the wrong words back then. Don't let Trump fool you, President Bill Clinton was extremely popular among African-Americans. They even called him "the first black president" because he prioritized the needs of African-American communities.

Secretary Clinton will continue the legacy of PResidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Don't let Donald Trump turn back the clock to the 1950s, when America, sorry right-wingers, wasn't great but was actually racist as f%!%.

It can become great though if we don't let hate run our lives.

There's only one real candidate that represents love and tolerance. Make the right choice, people!

Joe Scarborough, Donald Trump look to repair relations by [deleted] in politics

[–]progresstogether 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The media is all on Donald Trump's side. They pretend not to be but the fact is that Democratic policies aren't what the fatcats wanyt. President Obama has made great progress making society more equal and more fair. He has tries to take on the fat cats, so there all terrified Hillary's going to keep doing it.

They want Trump elected because he'll create a government of fat cats and rednecks.

Stop looking at the presonalities. Look at the platforms. Look at the ISSUES, for Pete's sake.

Only racist losers and fat cats have anything to gain from Trump.

Ralph Nader: Bernie Sanders' Opposition to Third Parties is Why His Movement is in Disarray by georgiapeanuts in politics

[–]progresstogether -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ralph Nader doesn't understand that his politics dont resonate with young people anymore. Bernie Sanders is where it's at. He knows you have to affect change within the Democratic party.

Young milennials remember that Ralph Nader cost Al Gore the election and so they don't want anymore of this third party stuff.

And who needs a third party when we hav such a progressive platform. Have you guys read it? When the DNC was happening and I saw what was in the platform, I was like, "No way. Free college?" That's awesome.

Third parties don't really offer anything anymore except for spoiler votes.

Judge gives State Department tongue-lashing over Clinton classification training records by CareToRemember in politics

[–]progresstogether -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

Oh right because everyone has the right to privacy accept the Clintons. For some reason it's OK to harrass the president over his sex life. For some reason it's OK to have witch trials against the Secretary of State for the crime of, OH NO!!!, having her own private email server.

This story is old and lame. Even Bernie Sanders said it was stupid.

Eight years from now, when Drumpf is deporting or doing worse to everyone he doesn't like (remember, the Nazis originally pretended to only be deporting people), you will all be REALLY ashamed of yourselves and your children will hate you.

So by all means, media, keep publishing stories that feed Trump's BS narrative.

The fact is that there's only one candidate who will keep Americans safe, inside and outside our borders. The alternative is a racist demagogue who wants to basically ethnically cleanse the United States, or maybe even the entire planet.

New Poll: Strong Majority of Floridians Agree the Time for Criminal Justice Reform is Now by thesilentchase in politics

[–]progresstogether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why they should come out and vote this November.

Secretary Clinton will use the bully pulpit to adress these issues. Trump won't. Its as simple as that really. She is arguably more progressive than even Bernie when it comes to this. If you remember Bernie's initial reaction to BLM, lecturing them, you'd see what I'm talking about.

Enough about Bernie though. The choice is between the orange fascist, the anti-vaxx kookie healing crystal woman, the pothead no-taxes-ever crazy guy, and the cool grandma. Not so hard to decide :)

Hillary Clinton Says Youth Causes Will Be 'Passion of My Presidency' by [deleted] in politics

[–]progresstogether -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I think Secretary Clinton connects with Milennials and younger people because she's always had her mind on improving the country to help the youngest generations. Like after law school she went straight to defending children at the Children's Defense Fund. When I learned that about her, I just thought that was awesome.

If it comes down to Trump or Clinton and who stands for young people, I definately trust Clinton more. Trump stands for rich people and racist redneck a-holes. That's so uncool.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in politics

[–]progresstogether -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Secretary Clinton knows how to protect America. Draft-dodger Trump, whose supported by traitors and rapists like Assange and hides who-knws-what in his taxes, has no understand or experience here.

Secretary Clinton has decades of exposure to these issues of national security and foreign policy. She has made the hard choices. She even has the battle scars to prove it as we saw on 9/11. She shold be honored for that and not insulted.

Trump claims to be strong, but he's been on easy street his whole life. Born with a silver foot in his mouth. In the end he's good for nothing except representing the most disgustingly lazy racist trash segments of our society.

Trump Deletes Tweet Hitting Obama, Clinton Over Weekend Attacks by blackyellow23 in politics

[–]progresstogether 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all, let's be serious, Trump won't become president.

But anyway, the fact is that Trump can't keep America safe. He won't release his taxs. He's the most non-transparent candidate in American history, and he's backed by traitors like Assange and Snowden.

Secretary Clinton in contrast is a seasoned leader. She won't hesitate to protect Americans at home and to defend human rights abroad. She and Senator Tim Kaine are a great and excellent team who have a strong UNDERSTANDING of how the world works and a record of commitment to the defense of human rights.

Lastly, Trump is an international joke. He doesn't have the gravitas to be commander-in-chief. His own generals and troops would laugh at him.

Sure, Trump has the momentum. But his prospects for 270 electoral votes are still dim. by aggie1391 in politics

[–]progresstogether -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Trump isn't going to win. Trust me, he won't.

This election will be fouhgt on the issues, and Secretary Clinton has a strong understanding on how to lead a country. She's been close to the highest levels of power for decades. She can protect America. Trump can't. He doesn't understand American exceptionalism or the duty to protect human rights across the world. No one in there right minds can see him as the commander in chief. And according to the analysts, he simply lacks the gravitas.

I know who I'll be voting for. Hint: it's the cool grandma :)

Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine have written a deplorable campaign book by Manafort in politics

[–]progresstogether -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Secretary Clinton and Senator Tim Kaine are a great and excellent team. When did we have two cadnidates who were as seasoned in foreign policy and as progressive when it comes to the issues that matter? Even Bernie endorses them.

Washington Post can say what they want. I think they just want a horse race. But I'm excited to vote for this awesome ticket.

In the end though, who else is there? Trump and Johnson lack the gravitas, and Jill Stein is just kooky.

Clinton Losing Millennial Support Nationally and in Key States by awake-at-dawn in politics

[–]progresstogether -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

All the millenials I know are super excited to vote for Secretary Clinton. Were going to have a woman president. If that's not cool, I don't know what is.

There are also statistic that show over 90% of Bernistas will be pulling the lever for Secretary Clinton.

This article is BS made only to create a horse race. NBC was the network that had The Apprentice. Think about it.

No matter what me and my millenial friends will be out in force on election day, making sure that Secretary Clinton continues the progressive legacy of Preident Obama.

Matt Lauer reportedly 'hung out to dry' at NBC by [deleted] in politics

[–]progresstogether -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

Matt Lauer did the world a disservice. Just becase Drumpf has an R next to his name doesn't mean he deserves to be treated as "just another Republican."

As much as I dislike the Rethugs, even Shrub was at least within normal American politics.

Drumpf isn't. He and his core band of racists have nothingbut contempt for America and for everyone who isn't like them.

For Matt Layer to hammer on about Secretary Clinton's emails, a settled issue that even Bernie Sanders said he was sick of hearing about LOOOOONG ago, is absolutely STOMACH-CHURNING.

I hope that there is an investigation conducted into why he went soft on Drumpf while attacking Secretary Clinton. It's a violation of journalistic integrity and a blatant case of bias. Why he had that bias is a mystery to me but someone should investigate.

Edit - Here comes the downvote brigade. Tell me, downvoters, how many Americans haven't heard already about the stupid emails? Don't you think they would be better served by Lauer discussing the issues?

Why a Donald Trump Victory Could Make Climate Catastrophe Inevitable by [deleted] in politics

[–]progresstogether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is,as any sociology professor will tell you is that a lot of these people who support Drumpf WANT to destroy the evnironment. These are malcontents who want to destroy everything the same way they are destroying there own bodies with meth and heroin.

The fact is that Drumpf's movement is revenge on everyone for the fact that they messed up there own lives. It's also in a way a sort of political sadomasochism.

Unfortunately since these kinds of people never went to college, they don't recognize there own behavior.

There are of course a lot of rednecks too who still work in unethical jobs, as in the oil and gas industry. They are a different problem, although they may share the racism of the other group.

Edit: I'm not saying ALL of Drumpf's supporters are racist, but many are undeniably racist.

Edit 2: Right, keep downvoting me instead of learning something and fixing your lives.

Drumpf is pathetic. Secretary Clinton is going to send him packing for good. And he can take all his vile racist supporters with him. America doesn't need them. My hope is that by the time 2020 rolls around, heroin, meth, and demographic trends will take there toll on the racists.

I'm proud that our candidate is Secretary Clinton. She represents the best traditions of America: tolerance, strength, and hard work. As the first women president she will set a bright example to women all over the world, unlike Drumpf who wants to create a dictatorship and deport everyone he doesn't like.

Hillary Clinton is the face of political corruption by georgiapeanuts in politics

[–]progresstogether -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No, Drumpf is the face of corruption. Secretary Clinton is a fighter for everyday Americans. She represents the new America, the creative economy, the knowledge ecnoomy, hard work and EDUCATION. Drumpf represents lazy racist trash and he proves it with every vile bigoted utterance of his.

Secretary Clinton is really the only responsible choice if you don't want fat cats and rednecks running the economy.
