Among the many hashtags of Bernie Sanders, #BernieMadeMeWhite had the most importance to me. Brief Overview CNN and social media had made it seem as if Senator Bernie Sanders only does well in predominantly white states. Last Saturday, on March 26th, Senator Sanders had an amazing victory for the more midwest progressive states. He won in Hawaii, Alaska, and Washington state Democratic caucuses. Dominating and sweeping the caucuses, Sanders won 17 delegates while Hillary Clinton won 8 in Hawaii. Sanders won 13 delegates, while Hillary won 7 in Alaska. In Washington, Sanders won 25, while Hillary won 9. Sanders doubled Hillary’s delegates count in those three states. Hillary’s supporters and CNN argue that Bernie would win there because of …show more content…
Hillary Clinton held a rally at Purchase State College in New York. After the rally, Hillary was confronted by a climate activist. The woman, Eva Resnick-Day, who worked for Greenpeace and 350 Action, both climate organizations asked Hillary a question. She asked if Hillary would reject donations from the fossil fuel industry. Hillary responded, “"I do not have, I have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies. I am sick. I am sick of the Sanders' campaign lying about this. I'm sick of it.” Hillary Clinton responded aggressively, raising her voice and jabbing her index finger at Resnick-Day. She was clearly extremely annoyed. She had become more and more frustrated with protesters and Bernie Sanders supporters. For example, when a group of protesters interrupted and shouted during her speech at the college, “If she wins, we lose,” Hillary Clinton responded "Oh, I know. Bernie people came to say that,” with a smile on her face. She then goes on bragging, comparing herself to Trump and Sanders. My Point of …show more content…
The first issue was brought up about Hillary’s attacks on Bernie Sanders’ tweet against Donald Trump’s response saying that women should be punished for having an abortion. She accused Sanders for saying that Trump’s response was a distraction from serious issues in America. Sanders says that he has always been an activist for women’s rights and will continue to fight. He says that Clinton took “things out of context.” The second issue was about Hillary Clinton’s response to Eva Resnick-Day. Bernie Sanders states that he was not crazy about people disrupting meetings, but says that it was a fact that Hillary had taken a lot of money from fossil fuel industries. He also goes on saying that she gets money from Super PACs, Wall Street, and many other wealthy companies. Bernie Sanders shares that his campaign has “received over six million independent campaign contributions averaging $27 a piece.” The third issue was about a clip showing Clinton mocking and parodying Sanders. Sanders states that Hillary’s ideas are moving closer to his ideas, but that he had been fighting progressively decades before Hillary
Overall, Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a convincing speech on women’s rights at the U.N. World Conference by using the key rhetorical techniques ethos, pathos, logos, and anaphora’s. The use of these techniques helped the audience believe in the cause of which Clinton was speaking about, sympathize for situations females were being put through, and working to strive towards equal rights for everyone. Clinton used the same stance throughout her speech and raised her voice at points in her speech that needed
Bernie Sanders poor showing in South Carolina is just the latest momentum killer of his campaign in the last several weeks. After a good showing in the Iowa caucuses and a victory in New Hampshire, which neighbors his home state of Vermont, Sanders has done nothing to impress since then. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has seen a rise in the polls thanks to garnering
“…by attacking the gay and lesbian transgender movement, by attacking feminists and the right to abortion, the right to choose, by attacking immigrants…” Huerta explains that these “cultural wars” distract the general public from issues such as the wars in the Middle East and an economic recession, which happened around the same time she delivered her speech.
To summarize this analysis, Hillary Clinton shows us how as we unite, the stronger our bond is. She uses clever ways to show this action. Though she did not win this presidential election, she is still loved by many. She helped herself because of the way she wrote and persuaded people to join her. Using rhetorical appeals
By now, many Americans have been made aware of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL. It has been seven years since the pipeline was first proposed by the TransCanada Corporation with the intent to “allow crude oil from Canadian oil sands to reach U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast” (Mantel par. 2 on Chronology timeline). Some Americans are in favor of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL and others are strongly opposed to it. On Feb. 17, 2013, thousands of protestors gathered at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in the hopes that President Barack Obama would reject the construction of the $53 billion oil pipeline (Snyder par. 1). The rally attracted 35,000 people making it the largest climate-change protest in U.S. history,
Michelle Obama is without a doubt aware of this, and it is no wonder that her speech is of the persuasive kind, trying to convince the voters that a vote for the fellow democratic Hillary Clinton is a vote for a bright future for the US. The audience can be divided into two groups: the primary and the secondary audience. The primary audience consists of the people gathered at the Democratic National Convention who are watching her speak live. The secondary audience is made up of the general public who hears, sees or reads the speech later. Michelle Obama’s speech is mainly aimed at the general audience though, which is very clear at the beginning of the speech: “You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you” (p. 1, l. 1-2). In this quote, she addresses the people at the convention in a very friendly manner, implying that they share a close bond with her. While a lot of the viewers may not necessarily have anything in common with her besides being a democrat,
In a race for only one winner, it begins with the attitude and personality each reveals to the audience. No one wants their president to be rude and vulgar. Donald interrupted Hillary 51 times in the debate; he made faces, rolled his eyes, and “rocked” his body when Hillary talked. He put on his “I do not agree with you” and “that is not true” faces. On the other hand, from the start of the debate, Hillary showed her confident smile. Unlike Donald, she started the evening by thanking the host, the audience and the university for sharing its place for the debate. While these are small things, they truly reflect a person’s upbringing, grooming, and understanding of social
In a simplified version of her childhood, the reader learns that Hillary "grew up between the push and tug of [her] parents' values and [her] own political beliefs reflect both" (11). Hillary shares that her father was quite a conservative Republican and that her mother was a Democrat, though she kept quiet about her political beliefs in their predominantly Republican neighborhood of Park Ridge, Illinois. Senator Clinton's father was very tight with money and, when Hillary or one of her brothers would ask for cash, Mr. Rodham (Hillary's dad) would make the children fully explain why they needed the money. ...
After serving in the senate for 8 years, Hillary Clinton’s second attempt to run for presidency of the year 2016 is still ongoing. Everyone’s question is mainly focused on why is she running again? She hits her Democratic party with known facts across the board from Women’s Healthcare to the economies budget and then to civil rights supporting and going against them. In her campaigning announcement speech that she gave on April 12, 2015, she mentions how she wants to follow up on Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in the presidency area who are two democrats just like her. She feels the obligation to do so because she says and supporters her reason by saying “democracy just can not be for billionaires and corporations. Prosperity and Democracy are
Senator Franken portrayed himself as calm and collective throughout the entire election. He was able to keep this demeanor even with Senate Minority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell, stated that this was a Senate race the Republicans will be targeting to win (Cox, 2014). Senator Franken continued on with his calm demeanor, acting as if he won in a land slide in his last election in 2008, which he only won by 300 votes. He even received criticism for running a boring and staid campaign. As a whole the race for the Minnesota Senate seat lacked interest and enthusiasm, allowing many to give Senator Franken the victory weeks before Election Day (Cox, 2014). The election became so lopsided without action; FiveThirtyEight Senate Forecast gave Franken a 97% chance of winning weeks before the end of the election (FiveThirtyEight,
...women has escalated to an all-time high. Hillary Clinton’s speech “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” targets this growing problem and by portraying a purpose, style and language, and different appeals to the audience effectively.
Donald Trump has won the presidential election and will be our future president. Some were surprised, some were frustrated and others were excited. Hillary was extremely shaken by this victory but, she still keeps her head held high. So in response to this result, she conducts a concession speech showing that she is disappointed by this election, however she will march forward and continue to serve this great country.
Jasmine’s comments about the OEC at the Stop Fracked Gas PDX meeting raised many questions for me about the organization, and I decided to pursue the question of their participation in the Kalama Methanol Refinery issue with the OEC itself. After spending several minutes on hold after asking for someone who could talk with me about the Stop Fracked Gas PDX coalition and the Refinery in particular, the OEC operator connected me to Jana Gastellum, the climate program director at the council, who was better equipped to answer my questions than her. After asking a few cursory questions about the issue, Jana deflected the question yet again to a list of Riverkeeper, 350PDX, and Sierra Club activists who were more versed on the issue. I changed
Naomi Klein is a well-known Canadian Journalist that has written for The Rolling Stone, The Guardian, New York Times and many other well-known publishing companies. Naomi Klein is also a well-known writer of the books This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs The Climate (2014). This book debates about climate change and how it is not an issue that should be as ignored as it is. Fixing the issue will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve conditions it will also help in economic ways (Klein 2014). A restoration of our connection with nature will make us appreciate that which we have found a way to numb (Klein 2014). Naomi also talks about the green projects that are making an impact, those that are not and how we are changing fossil
Hillary Clinton felt that it was unnecessary to take drastic measures when it came to immigration; When it came to border security she claimed that she would “ protect U.S. borders and national security but did not give any specific plans”. Then came her plans for deportations; she had plans to defend DACA and DAPA (President Obama’s plans). DACA, which stood for deferred action for childhood arrivals,
