From George Carlin:

Now, to balance the scale, I'd like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences. 'Cause that's all you ever hear about in this country. It's our differences. That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about--the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money! Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different--that's what they're gonna talk about--race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank! You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showing up at those 'jobs'.

11. Why Thank You... I'm Honored !!!

[SamKnause]

2. It is truly sad that so many support someone who is so

divisive and underhanded.

I hope the young people in this country are smart enough

to see through all the deception.

I think they are !!!!!

I am truly impressed with the activism of our young people.

They are this countries only hope.

[azmom]

3. The poor are there to scare the shit out of the middle class.

Keep Em showing at those jobs.

That line always cracks me up. I don't know why, it just does. Maybe cause it's true.

[WillyT]

5. Oh... It's True...

[tokenlib]

4. In the end, who has the "me" campaign and who has the "we" campaign. n/t

[WillyT]

6. BINGO !!!

[Doctor_J]

7. Bernie trying to win by getting people to vote. Hillary trying to win by

getting people to NOT vote. Kind of sums up their world view.

[WillyT]

10. Seems That Way... And If They Play This Any Worse...

THEY Will Be The Very Same People Blaming US, For THEIR Behavior, For Their Not Winning.

Way to grow the party, idiots.

[TheProgressive]

8. +1

[uponit7771]

9. Sanders guy Cornell West vile racialized words towards the first black president is somehow unity?

I don't think so

[Doctor_J]

12. Did you post in the wrong thread?

This one is about the contrasting approaches of the Sanders and Clinton campaigns.

[WillyT]

13. LOL !!!

[arcane1]

18. Cornel West is the new Jeremiah Wright n/t

[uponit7771]

21. Well, in this case it would be good for Sanders to let everyone here what West has had to say

about Obama and the reasons he's has said them.

I think Sanders would lose 50% of his current supports if Sanders stood by West for a split second after knowing why west reffered to Obama as nword-izzing the white house.

Horrible

[uponit7771]

20. Only if the meaning of "unity" is saying vile racialized things about Americas first black president

[arcane1]

17. Good point. If someone supports Sanders, that means I agree 100% with all of their other opinions.

[uponit7771]

22. That would be true if West was the only person who's said these viles things about Obama that Sander

... decided to have as a surrogate in IA

Bigga is just as bad, Obama is NOT a house slave

[WillyT]

14. Kick !!!

[WillyT]

15. And Another !!!

[WillyT]

16. And Another !!!

[SoapBox]

19. K & R!

[WillyT]

32. Anytime SoapBox... Anytime...

[AzDar]

23. K & R

[jeff47]

24. Well, she can't win with unity. So off to division land she goes.

Golly...wonder if having Brock and company shit all over Sanders supporters would be a problem getting those supporters to help her in the GE.....

[bettyellen]

25. Things that make you go *SIGH*, the next chapter!

[CoffeeCat]

26. What a great post and so true!

She's devisive and combative; always attacking his ideas and telling us why we can't.

He's a unifier, trying to enact real change.

Great post!

[WillyT]

27. Thanks CoffeeCat... That Means A Lot !!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

[WillyT]

31. WORD !!!

[catnhatnh]

30. I guess Cornel West

is the one we are allowed to censor and "white'splain" to?????

[WillyT]

34. I Have No Idea What That Means...

[catnhatnh]

35. We are told we should not "white'splain" to POC

but many on this thread suggest we should censure Dr. West...

[WillyT]

36. Ah... Got It !!!

Good Point !!!

[WillyT]

37. G'Night !!!

[cantbeserious]

38. Us We Together - Vs - Me Myself And I

eom

[boston bean]

39. We are not going to be silenced voicing our issues so people can feel good we "came together"

on something that doesn't solve the problems we face.

[MrMickeysMom]

44. Is THAT what you call it?

Well, coming together on something that doesn't solve the problems you face makes me wonder what those problems are...

What you just voiced there is less about the issues of this OP and more about the divisive stuff one finds blown into a handkerchief.

[madokie]

40. What a contrast

After reading an article in this morning paper about the debate last night It seems that Hillary came off the rails, not unlike she did in '08. Only sooner this time. Its like she is getting pissed that we don't just coronate her as our standard bearer yesterday and let her go on and be President. After all it is hers you know.

The Clinton machine is sputtering for the lack of a vision. So sad. I remember when I used to think she might not be so bad but this campaign has proven that narrative as simple. She can not win the general election unless the republiCON candidate falls down and refuses to get up and just hands it to her.

I'll vote for her if I have to but at this point in time I feel it will simply be a wasted vote. I can't nor will I vote for an independent or 'CON but man o man I'll have to hold my nose on this one if it comes to pass that she is our candidate.
