VIRAL GRAPHICS CONTRASTING HILLARY CLINTON AND BERNIE SANDERS

Robert Reich via Facebook.com

1 hr · Edited · 

This morning a friend claimed there was "really no difference" between the positions of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. "They voted the same on almost all issues during their time in the Senate," he said.

It's true that their voting records are quite similar. And compared with the Republican candidates their positions are very close. But take a closer and they depart from one another on a number of important points, and the sources of their funding are quite distinct. This chart -- along with fact-checking done by the Tampa Bay Times “PunditFact” -- helps clarify the similarities and differences. (Hillary's positions and funding sources are on the right on the chart below; Bernie's on the left. Click on chart for complete information.)

After a New York Times analysis found Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton voted in synch 93 percent of the time during their two overlapping Senate years, Sanders’...

‘My Body, My Choice’ Is Not True for Women In Poverty, In Federal Employment, or In the Military

‘My Body, My Choice’ Is Not True for Women In Poverty, In Federal Employment, or In the Military Posted: 02 Sep 2015 07:06 AM PDT By Susan Grigsby / Daily Kos  "My body, my choice" is a privilege for those whose insurance provides coverage for abortions (assuming that their employers don't object), or who can afford to pay the expense out of pocket.That privilege doesn't extend to women who receive Medicare or Children's Healthcare Insurance Program benefits, the dependents of federal employees, dependents of military service members, Peace Corps volunteers, clients of Indian Health Service, and women in federal prisons, including immigration detention centers. As many as 20 million women are impacted not just by the 1976 Hyde Amendment (which has been reauthorized every year since), but by additional restrictions imposed by Congress in the early 1980s.   [Read more...] shared from San Diego Free Press Iconic Vision or Elitist Tunnel Vision? The Future of Downtown’s East Village Green Posted: 02 Sep 2015 10:12 AM PDT By Jeeni Criscenzo Who could possibly be against a park? A bit of open space to take a stroll; rest on a bench and breathe in the fresh air; enjoy the peace and quiet… Maybe that’s what most of us think of when we think of a park, but that’s not what developers see. Last night, at the third "workshop” for the East Village Green, we were treated to what one lady exclaimed as an iconic vision and what I thought was a perfect example of elitist tunnel vision. The East Village Green would be a 4.1 acre wonderland between 13th St and 15th St. and F and G Street in East Village. It has been promised to the people of the neighborhood for almost 10 years--about the same time a poor family will have to wait to get Section 8 housing.   [Read more...]

Police Deaths Matter. Now, Can We Talk About Injustice? Posted: 02 Sep 2015 09:54 AM PDT By Doug Porter The gang at Fox News is doing their damnest to make a connection between #BlackLivesMatter and police officers killed in the line of duty.  Yesterday, Megyn Kelly and Katie Pavlich characterized Black Lives Matter as violent, with Pavlich calling it "a movement that promotes the execution of police officers." Elsewhere in the media the implied story is that cops are getting mowed down at a dramatically increasing rate.  The Los Angeles Times ran with a story saying “the recent bloodshed feels different.”  CNN does it by slight of hand in its coverage of Illinois police officer Charles Joseph Gliniewicz and Texas Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth, telling us that the number of deaths in the line of duty this year has increased from 73 to 85.   [Read more...]

Choosing Real Citizen-Led Advocacy to Preserve Carlsbad’s Open Space Posted: 02 Sep 2015 07:28 AM PDT By Richard Riehl / The Riehl World After vowing never again to sign a petition, my wife and I are headed to Alga Norte Park to sign one. It's our attempt to make up for foolishly falling for the pitch to support an initiative to "save the strawberry fields." The man with the clipboard at my door claimed he was a member of a group of concerned citizens, rallying to save them. A day later I learned how I had been sweet-talked into abandoning my skepticism of California's bogus initiative campaigns. He was far from the public-spirited do-gooder he represented himself to be. The guy walking away with my signature was paid for its delivery to the developer who was rallying to bring a strip mall to the strawberry fields.   [Read more...]

San Diego’s Lowrider Women: Carolina’s Hopper Posted: 02 Sep 2015 07:10 AM PDT By Barbara Zaragoza / South Bay Compass Two kinds of lowrider cars stand out: show cars and hoppers. Marisa Rosales and Jose Arevalo are good examples of lowriders who have worked for two decades to perfect their show cars. Carolina Hernandez, on the other hand, is the lowrider with the hopper—a car whose front hood can bounce up in the air. ‘Hopping’ cars has been an art form since the 1960s. It wasn’t fully perfected, however, until the mid-1970s. Back in the day, they would put a beer can next to the car and if your car was able to hop higher than the beer can, you gained celebrity status among lowriders. Nowadays, when hoppers get together casually or at competitions such as Extreme Autofest, they can hop their cars up to eighty inches high.   [Read more...]
