I have no issue with the statement, it should be policy to listen to all parties and also respect the right to protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That statement might as well read "I kinda care, but not really." The most progressive candidate ever!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Trump is backing down on his threat to sue his accusers. Someone must have pulled him to the side and explained that they were going to subpoena the s*** out of the other Apprentice tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Unironically she's running on the most progressive platform since at least FDR's New Deal, and that was heavily tainted with "no blacks." The problem with that statement is that it doesn't really say anything at all, doesn't acknowledge any of the issues or impasses, and doesn't really serve any purposes beyond the campaign being able to say "we've commented on the situation."

BigSqwert Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 ^^^ and after seeing image after image of the police state manhandling Native American elders, sicking attack dogs on them, and firing rubber bullets, I'd expect a more sincere and empathetic response from her.

GoSox05 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 At the end of the day she is going to support that pipeline getting built. That letter was just to buy her time, she doesn't want the left mad at her a week before the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I think the above from gosox is true. I also think it's true that while the pipeline is paused, to allow the challenge in the DC court to get heard first without politicizing it at a national level. Where democratic politicians speak up, it automatically becomes a great idea in the republican lawmakers. And should dems fail to win senate, I'd forsee this becoming a thing where 500 votes are held to specifically bulid the pipeline through the reservation itself. Only half kidding at the last part.

caulfield12 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 If Native Americans or Eskimos represented the same percentage of voters as African Americans, Hispanics or even Asian Americans, she would be firmly against it. This simply allows her to hide behind the greatest good for the greatest number centrist economic argument and ignore all the historical atrocities committed against Native Americans...because, economic development/jobs. She definitely will never be as "pro environment" as the typical Dem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 It's pretty messed up that Comey injected himself into the election less than two weeks before election day with a bunch of innuendo but zero substance and without even contacting Clinton first.

There's a strong case to be made that he had zero choice but to do so given his testimony in the summer - new information appeared that made a portion of that statement incorrect. But allowing the case to have been tried publicly by innuendo over a full year+ remains the unprecedented part, this just follows that logic.
