Bernie Sanders continuing to not not address the needs

[MannyGoldstein]

of people of color:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017270096

When will he learn?

[one_voice]

1. You just can't help yourself can you?

eta: Just a thought; imagine how much more positive this thread could/would be if you'd just post that video with a description of what Bernie is addressing instead of picking at an old scab.

Unless you're looking for a certain reaction....

[MoonRiver]

2. What he can't cope with is that Hillary supporters

actually like Bernie! We're not the haters here.

[Exilednight]

12. It goes both ways. There are small groups on both sides

That get personal. I've been called "fringe left", "not a true Democrat" and my favorite, "leftist extemist" by several Hillary supporters.

I have seen a few Bernie supporters go after Hillary supporters, but it's few and far between.

With the rash of recent alerts and thread hides, along with one very public banning, coupled with the fact that the owner is openly supporting a candidate - it's obvious who is and is not welcome here.

[MoonRiver]

18. What a load.

Every Hillary supporter I know of here has been very supportive of Bernie.

Edit: The Hillary haters are absolutely rampant here. You must be in complete denial if you cannot see that.

[Exilednight]

19. So this never happened?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6690119

[MoonRiver]

26. Did I miss something? Never saw the words Bernie or Sanders in that.

Really don't even know who the poster was referring to.

[Exilednight]

32. Here's another one with a DUer replying to a Bernie supporter

For criticizing Hillary.

http://betterment.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6689044

[daleanime]

38. And if I refuse to see it....

it never happened.


Don't worry, we still love you.

[MoonRiver]

47. Awwww

[JonLP24]

21. That doesn't make it untrue

as I've seen the behavior myself. I see the behavior all the time from all sides of any supporters. I remember Clinton supporters from '08 leaving the board due to behavior of Obama supporters and I'm sure it was vice versa. There a threads bashing Sanders as not good enough on racial issues from Hillary Clinton supporters hence the OP.

[Zamen]

30. I've seen it on both sides

[Exilednight]

34. Who are you calling Hillary Haters?

[JDPriestly]

84. Sorry. That's just not true.

It's just that Hillary supporters don't recognize the anti-Bernie posts for what they are.


The Bernie can't win posts.

The Bernie "wrote about rape fantasies" posts. (He wrote about a the confusion in the reactions of both women and men to women's liberation in the 1970s and how the submissive role of women was changing.)

There are lots of similar posts. It's just natural that many Hillary supporters see them as telling the truth and don't realize that they are just unwarranted attacks on Bernie.

[Autumn]

14. As a Bernie supporter I like Hillary and I'm sure that a lot of us do

I must have all the right Bernie supporters on ignore because I've never seen a hater.

[JonLP24]

24. I'm a hater and a Bernie Sanders supporter

though more of not a fan of all on Hillary Clinton, especially when it comes to foreign policy & the usual corruption plaguing the US political system but with her I'd expect an increase in weapons sales.

[MoonRiver]

28. Well thank you for being honest.

I find it ridiculous when people pretend it isn't happening.

[JonLP24]

33. I can't speak for others

but I try and am pretty certain I stick to issues or facts (which is why I'm not a big fan) but don't go too far above that but I imagine others do.

[Autumn]

88. I may not agree with a person but I have no room in my life for hate.

[JonLP24]

89. How do you feel about Bush or Cheney?

What I mean is the context with the word hater is usually applied to people with a lot of criticisms or oppose. It is hard to explain but not simply because I have room for hate but more has to do with my massive amount of empathy I have for others around the world and a lot of the decisions or foreign relations, especially with weapons sales, double standards in terms of who we (especially her) support or oppose is more than an abstract to me where I'm just mostly very depressed with occasional anger but pretty much depressed. Sanders is I see the light at the end of the tunnel. but with Clinton would be a doubling down of our usual foreign policy

On edit -- it isn't personal when it comes Clinton or any politician really.

[Autumn]

102. I don't like them, they are pathetic human beings

and their actions and their desire to go to war for absolutely no reason caused a lot of death and destruction. I see Sanders as a light at the end of the tunnel also. America needs him.

[Duckhunter935]

37. I do not care for Hillary

She is not and never has been genuine. She goes with the money and the big donors.

[bettyellen]

63. You just kicked a few out of the Bernie group...

And I thank you for that- but let's get real.
There are haters on both sides. And this OP is intended to create a few more- that is pretty obvious.

[Autumn]

86. Just because people post in a group that

that doesn't make them supporters of that candidate it becomes obvious when the stir shit in a group. I like the OP, there were a few posters that were saying Bernie wasn't addressing the issues that many people find important. The link in Manny's OP shows that Bernie has. And he will continue to do so.

[bettyellen]

96. And there's another one under your previous post. And unlike a lot of people in that group, I'm

Going to take people's word if they are a supporter of any of the four candidates or undecided or whatever.

Going to keep the accusations of trolldom to myself too- despite several Sanders supporters enthusiastically tossing that around to describe women and POC here in GD. It's nasty and paranoid, and sad to see here.

[Autumn]

100. If you don't like what a DUer says send an alert.

Or put them on ignore.

[bettyellen]

104. That's a deflection. And I saw the troll accusations too late but will next time.

Because that makes that group - and DU suck.

[Autumn]

106. What deflection? If I don't support a candidate I stay out of their groups.

Well once I didn't realize I was in a protected group when it popped up in the latest and the now banned troll PretzelWarrior pounced and I responded. It was a swift block I wear that block with a great deal of pride. There are a couple of posters that I don't like. So I stay out of their threads.

[MADem]

41. Bernie Sanders is a wonderful person.

I wish more of his 'supporters' were like him. I use a mini scare quote because I think some people--for whatever reason--do a really poor job of actually 'supporting' the guy. He deserves better.

He and Hillary have been friends for almost a quarter century. They LIKE each other. They also know how to discuss differences without being mean or vicious. They know who the real opponents are. They're definitely the smartest people in the room.

[Scootaloo]

43. You missed the "some very, very few" between "that" and "Hillary"

I can count them on one hand without using all of my fingers.

[Andy823]

93. +1000nt

[Duckhunter935]

5. he just can't

he just pulls things up and posts them in no context at all

[JonLP24]

27. I know the context

The sheshe thread and the one that bashes Bernie for the crowd of white faces in Vermont and accusing him of not talking about racial issues with an edited correction but still slamming him as not good enough.

[Duckhunter935]

31. Sorry I replied to the wrong poster

[KittyWampus]

9. picking an old scab from a self-inflicted wound...

[Bobbie Jo]

29. This

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Egnever]

87. Of course not

The shtick from day one has been to divide under the pretext of support.

[Andy823]

94. +1000nt

[Snotcicles]

3. With Bernie or Hillary either way it's a win.

I just think Bernie is a bigger win and for more of us.

[sabrina 1]

4. Playing the race card didn't work in 2008. It won't work this time either. I am hoping that Barbara

Lee will consider the VP slot btw, Bernie is working AGAIN with her (on handing over the TPP petitions by millions of Americans) as he has in the past.

I've tweeted her to ask if she is interested. Lol!

[Zorra]

23. [phone]!!!! Looooove her! nt

[winter is coming]

82. I'd be happy to see Lee in the VP slot. n/t

[betterdemsonly]

6. According to Clinton-Obama supporters this is just pie in the sky! Expecting something for nothing?

When nothing is free! Minority voters only need personality figures not issues for god sakes!

[zeemike]

53. Yep that is how it is framed.

We are to be satisfied with the illusion not the reality.

[cwydro]

7. Hey, you know -

two negatives make a positive. Might want to edit your OP.

Just sayin'.

[Snotcicles]

10. I think that was his intent. nt

[hootinholler]

8. I guess he's just going to have to

Evolve on that issue.

[libdem4life]

11. Bull...the whole thing was about jobs...POC on the Podium and co-writing, the difference in the

unemployment for young males, addressing it and other circumstances affecting POC...I don't get it. I'm a woman and he didn't talk about abortion or contraception...what about the poor Hispanics...he didn't mention them...nit pickin' is my response.

[hootinholler]

17. Really?

Did we watch the same video? The one I saw Bernie discussed how youth unemployment leads to a high prison population and how that relates to POC. He quoted the unemployment rates among POC.

[libdem4life]

22. Did you read my post?

Edit...This was a complete POC appearance. The end. it was not about any other minority...that was my point. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding somewhere.

[RufusTFirefly]

13. Ach! And those optics!! Don't get me started!!

[hifiguy]

16. Ats-a no good.

<honk>
<honk>

[Nye Bevan]

15. Good to see him addressing his main weakness.

If I were his campaign manager this is exactly what I would be advising him to do. It's all very well to want to be the 44th white male to hold the office of President, but he will need more than rapturous LL Bean-wearers to achieve this.

[Cheese Sandwich]

60. It never was a weakness in the first place. That's contrived spin from team Hillary.

Bernie's policies would be of benefit to working class families of all ethnic groups, particularly people of color.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

103. Anybody who can should be a 'rapturous LL Bean-wearer'.

It's a great way to save money - there's a no questions asked replacement policy. Return a shirt, shoes, pants, whatever that are torn, holey, or otherwise beaten to crap, and get a brand new replacement. You can buy cheap foreign made crap over and over and over, or you can buy LL Bean once, and replace it when it does eventually wear out without buying it again.

[bettyellen]

121. LL Bean is mostly foreign made crap these days too.

Sad but true.

[Autumn]

114. I love LL bean but I'm hardly rapturous and Jeff Weave is doing just fine

in advising Bernie.

[retrowire]

20. but he's one of the only two senators

to march with and attend Martin Luther King Jrs I have a dream speech.

and he's fought alongside Black's for equal rights since day one where he organized sit ins.

http://www.pdafund.com/component/k2/item/70-25-things-you-may-not-know-about-bernie-sanders

come on people let's not just call ignorance and trolling out, we gotta fight it with facts.

#feelthebern

sorry op. be enlightened!

[libdem4life]

25. Well this is the "what have you done for me lately" group...used to all the faux statements du jour.

[JonLP24]

35. Here is some recent info on civil rights

http://www.ontheissues.org/Domestic/Bernie_Sanders_Civil_Rights.htm

Clearly the best candidate of the two parties on those policies but the OP is more directly addressing a couple threads from Hillary Clinton supporters criticizing Bernie Sanders as not good enough as if Hillary Clinton's stances are without question even though she & her husband made controversial statements in '08 (the biggest one was "it took a President to get it done" referring to MLK)

[libdem4life]

46. Absolutely, I read a great deal before making my decision. Just didn't get the disconnect between

my reality and some of these "inquiring minds want to know" kind of posts.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Your post was alerted upon and I thought you might like to see the results:

I was Juror #7:

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

A newbie comes in here and calls out DU'ers who have a different perspective as troll and ignorant. Just, NO! Disruptive, Rude and Over the top.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jun 6, 2015, 03:02 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Stupid alert.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Dear alerter: please stop alerting. YOU make DU suck. Put on your big girl panties and realize that not everyone gets moist at the idea of St. Clinton, the Anointed One. Learn to deal with the fact that people will often disagree with you. That, in and of itself, does not warrant a hide. For the sake of all future juries in the next 24 hours, I hope this is kept 0-7 so that you have to sit out these terrible moments for an entire day.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Just, NO!

LOL...come on.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a discussion board. Learn to discuss things. Or not. Your choice.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I understand what the alerter is saying..........and I disagree. The new poster is expressing his opinion, to which he is entitled. Leave it alone.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[Duckhunter935]

39. Juror #4

Wow

[JonLP24]

97. I would have left the post alone but would have been tempted to alert on Juror #4

though I never alert -- I did once but it was already alerted on.

[retrowire]

51. i do understand that politics

in itself is a sensitive subject for everyone.

but the op left a post and without explanation just called out Bernie as being someone who hasn't done anything for people of color. it's similar to baiting. basically just "I'll just leave this here and watch people go nuts over it"

I felt my reply of facts and information was better than just calling the op ridiculous. and I encourage others to spread these facts rather than just insult each other.

this is a forum for action and political truths. we are here to benefit our party together. fighting amongst ourselves and smearing one another is exactly what Bernie and myself are against.

also lol at stereotyping me for being new. sometimes new members join this site and have the expectation that it's for discussing things amongst like minded people! thanks for sharing this with me Peggy.

[840high]

90. Juror #4 yeah!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

119. Please

90. Juror #4 yeah!

Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Please explain it to me like I'm a six year old how you find the misogynistic imagery that equates support for a woman candidate with a woman lubricating for sex laudable?

Thank you in advance.


P.S. I would have voted to leave it alone too, albeit not for misogynistic reasons.

[MannyGoldstein]

42. I was being sarcastic

Double negative, speech addressing PoC.

I'm too dry sometimes, sorry!

[Oilwellian]

it is difficult to detect sarcasm through written text.

but I won't report you for it you know? dry humor is fun too, again, no worries!

[Oilwellian]

77. I think Manny was being sarcastic

[ucrdem]

40. Great, get Congress to pass this $5 billion summer jobs bill and I'll take it seriously.

Meanwhile President Obama continues to create hundreds of thousands of real jobs, not summer jobs, every month:


from: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/percent-664848-year-jobs.html

Obama is also trying to get the US to ratify the TPP which will create even more thousands of new export production jobs and Bernie is campaigning against it. So where does that put Bernie re actually creating jobs? Below the flatline basically.

[Scootaloo]

44. the overwhelming majority of Democrats in congress oppose it, too

The only people Obama has backing him on TPP are the republicans and a small group of blue dogs-types.

[libdem4life]

48. I can't believe he wants to go out on this note and for this clearly "secreted and guarded" BS

that in no way, shape or form contain Democratic (Party) or democratic (political) principles. A very sad situation...either way.

[ucrdem]

49. In Congress, yes, but how about their constituents?

[Scootaloo]

55. Survey? Dude, read a fucking newspaper

Congressional democrats are lined up against the president on this one.

56. A recent survey on TPP or trade generally is what I had in mind, yes. nt

[Scootaloo]

58. Well then maybe talk to someone who is talking about surveys

I'm talking about opposition by congressional Dems and groups aligned with our interests.

By the way, nice late edit on your earlier reply.

[bvar22]

50. "the TPP which will create even more thousands of new export production jobs "

I'm still waiting for my new , High Paying, NAFTA job.
Can you give us an idea when those jobs will start coming in.

[ucrdem]

52. TPP is NAFTA renegotiated, which I believe was a campaign promise.

Canada and Mexico are included in the TPP signatories and that was NAFTA:

As of 2014, twelve countries throughout the Asia Pacific region have participated in negotiations on the TPP: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.

Incidentally China has recently signaled a willingness to join TPP, per the Chinese press.

[Enthusiast]

59. I don't want NAFTA or the TPP. I live in Ohio. I have seen the devastation.

I was included in the devastation.

No more trade deals, especially secret trade deals.

[Cheese Sandwich]

61. +1. This country is destroyed. People of color are hardest hit by it...

It's funny to see people act concerned about racial justice at the same time sit and defend the morally bankrupt trade and economic policies that have destroyed black communities in places like Detroit and Baltimore.

[Enthusiast]

66. You are so right. The collapse caused by deregulation sent Detroit and Baltimore over the edge.

But the fraudster banks were well taken care of. We watched it.

[Cheese Sandwich]

68. Wall Street got paid. Detroit got the shaft.

The industry and government just abandoned the cities. I heard packs of wild dogs roam Detroit. Factories and mills have been rusting away in front of our faces for decades. I think people who defend these kinds of economic policies maybe never had to live through the consequences. Lives are destroyed. They don't get it. They haven't lived it.

[Enthusiast]

72. These bad economic policies must be challenged.

We can't pretend Gramm-Leach-Bliley had a positive effect. Democrats cannot embrace supply side and claim there is just nothing they can do.

[bvar22]

62. Once burned,

Twice shy.

The fact that they are doing all this in secrecy inspires no confidence.
We certainly don't need to "fast-track" anymore American Jobs out of the country.

[X_Digger]

54. Just like the trade deal with South Korea made more export jobs? Oh wait, it didn't.

Or did you mean EXPORTING JOBS?

Yeah, it's got that in spades.

[valerief]

45. I like the comparison he made between the U.S. and China and the general

population numbers and incarcerated population numbers.

[Enthusiast]

81. There is simply no justication for the number of incarcerated in the US.

This is one sick nation.

[valerief]

92. Oh, yes, there is. Slave labor. That's one big reason why they're there.

And the race disparity enhances racism ("those black people must be bad, because they're all in prison&quot , which only benefits the fascists.

And all those fewer progressive voters are taken off the market.

And, of course, the private prison industry makes out like bandits.

[L0oniX]

57. K & R

[edgineered]

64. kick

His not not addressing that issue is yet another reason DU the Third will silence him

[bettyellen]

65. would have been a good post if it had to do with civil rights and not $$$- again.

But I'm sure someone will remind me again how these kids jobs will help em pay for lawyers. Because money solves everything, yup.

[MannyGoldstein]

67. Hyper incarceration of PoC is not a civil rights problem?

I think most Democrats would disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion.

[bettyellen]

69. It's a problem that needs more than money thrown at it.

But I'm not sure you realize that women and POC suffer from a serious backlash with every step forward they take. Money doesn't solve everything, unless you're already on very firm footing.

[MannyGoldstein]

70. Please link to some posts that claim money solves everything

Or please cut this straw-person stuff out.

Thanks.

[bettyellen]

71. You want to see the one advising me I can buy an airplane ticket to get an abortion?

Or the one advising us that when "all boats are lifted" POC can then better afford lawyers- problem solved!

There's much much more. Gosh you've missed a lot patronizing bullshit, eh?

[MannyGoldstein]

73. Yup. Let's see 'em.

I suspect that you're mischarecterizing them, but perhaps I'm wrong.

[bettyellen]

74. Here's the admitted lack of concern over "average women"

Lacking access to reproductive services


http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6753418


Because some women CAN afford plane tickets.
What dismissive clap trap.

[MannyGoldstein]

75. That post says nothing of the sort.

Zip.

[bettyellen]

76. The post advises the answer to lack of reproductive rights is to take a plane ride

And that is complete crap. But you knew that.

[MannyGoldstein]

78. Nope. It says that better-off women have that option

but poor women don't.

[bettyellen]

80. And presents money as a solve to a human rights issue.

If you think anyone can sell this line of bullshit to women, you're seriously mistaken.

Can't use search for suggestion POC will easily be able to "lawyer up" but from the above, I can see you'll not admit how seriously fucked up these suggestions are.

Alienating women and POC is SOP for some here.

[MannyGoldstein]

83. If I teach you self -defense against an attack,

then I'm condoning an attacker, per your logic.

[bettyellen]

91. "teaching me self defense" = what exactly?

Speak plainly, because you're always claiming to be misunderstood and we wouldn't want that to happen.

What would teaching me anything mean- if you ignore the attacker? The attacker is my govt- and you're working on "bettering" the government but ignoring the attacker.- how do you think your helping with this self defense thing
So what exactly are you teaching me? How to spend my money to avoid attack?
Not shocked you won't actually speak to this issue in clear terms. You can't pretend to be misunderstood again if you do that.

[bettyellen]

120. No answer except a seriously inept metaphor.

There is no defend offered, there is no blame for any attack.
Not applicable in any way shape or form.

[TheKentuckian]

98. We can always throw "nation conversations", "listening tours", and "optics" at them

...that's the ticket!

Works every time but ever, can't beat that except by actually doing something.

[bettyellen]

99. I guess you don't know Hillarys record on women's rights- but I'd love to find out Bernie's.

Perhaps that's the difference between us?
Not a one issue voter, but I have wider priorities than "the oligarchy".

105. When will this forum clamp down on frivolous alerting?

People are playing this jury system like a lottery. Every single thread now gets multiple alerts on posts that clearly don't violate forum rules.

Skinner, your system is being used like a lottery where the players don't have to pay for tickets. Over half the alerts are about disagreeing over opinions and personal vendettas.

[MannyGoldstein]

109. Can you alert on that alert?

I'm getting a little tired of getting called those names. Seems like calling me anything is fine these days.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

110. I've never looked closely enough at my options when serving on a jury

to know if there was an option to alert on the alert. I'll look more carefully next time.

As long as alerts are anonymous, though, you'll probably keep getting alerted on for everything and anything, and called whatever vile name folks feel like calling you. Perhaps, though, they could take a half step forward, and make it so that alerts that fail 7-0 are made public, so we can see just who is making the most outrageous alerts out there. Wouldn't have helped in this case, but it would be a tiny, incremental step forward.

[MannyGoldstein]

111. If you got a results message...

I think it has an option to alert on that message.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

113. I'll be darned, you are correct.

Never noticed that before.

I sent this message to the admins:

The alerter's comments are simply an ad hominem attack on another user. The alerted on OP points out the falseness of the meme that Bernie Sanders has a poor record on racial justice, and for so doing the OP poster is anonymously accused of being a 'race baiting, sexist troll'.

The jury system isn't supposed to be abused by those who think they can say nasty shit to other DUers that they wouldn't post because they know a post would be hidden.

I'm sick of seeing a small group at DU accuse anyone who doesn't agree with them of being racist and sexist.

118. Thank you.

I'm getting awfully tired of Alert Bingo and the awful @#$% they claim on those alerts.

Wow, did that argument get a lot of rebuttals, just like here at DU.

108. Thank you so much for this post

Very happy that Sen. Sanders and Rep. Conyers are working together and because of your post, others are now seeing it too

115. Well, when Bernie talks about

every citizen in his talks that means that he may not
include everyone to some people. Obviously those,
who don't feel included or having the finger pointed at
them feel neglected.

As an old girl, however, I don't, but then I am a
progressive, and think that "every citizen" means
just that.
