...too bad if that makes you uncomfortable.

All you have in defense of these sad comments from Sanders is that ridiculous notion that talking about race is racism. It's fine and dandy for you when your folks are claiming blacks shouldn't support Hillary. But, like your candidate, you can't seem to find support or defenses for those who choose his rival.

And you folks wonder why you're losing the majority of black voters.

Black southerners seem to think Hillary will be their savior. She won't be. Once she's in office she'll ignore them and their concerns. The trouble with Hillary is that she has a very thin resume and very little of it to do with civil rights. Bernie, OTH, has solid credentials in that regard, yet they will still vote for Hillary.

One of the main things I see here is that people absolutely do not know her history on the issues. It's mind boggling to me how much absolute BS gets posted about her everyday.

I've been a political wonk since I was in my early twenties. I'm a voracious reader of history, politics, and current events. I don't need people to tell me Bernie called for a primary on Obama, or voted against the Brady Bill, or that Clinton helped pass SCHIP as First Lady or talked up the crime bill Sanders voted for. I knew it in real time.

When someone floats a fake video of Clinton about compromising on choice I know it's edited. When Bernie says he loves Obama all of the sudden I know he's pandering.

I am not a stupid or uninformed voter. Get that?

Please cite the African Americans who think Hillary Clinton is their savior?

Thank you in advance.


The trouble with Hillary is that she has a very thin resume and very little of it to do with civil rights.



How does a person who:

-was a National Honor Society member
-was a National Merit scholar
-graduated from Wellesley
- achieved a JD from Yale Law School
-was a two term senator from a large and heterogeneous state
-was a Secretary Of state

have a thin resume?

Instead of taking a job with a white shoes law firm fresh out of law school , she went down to South Carolina to work to separate juvenile offenders from adult offenders. Then she went down to Alabama to surreptitiously investigate private segregated academies that were designed to thwart desegregation orders. She then worked for the Children's Defense Fund and Legal Aid. As First Lady she was the inspiration for the Children's Health Insurance Program which provides health care to 8,000,000 working class and poor kids. In the Senate she supported a bill to end racial profiling...

There are very few enlightened people who believe talking about race is 'race-baiting.'

You just have a real antipathy towards Bernie.

You make it clear why I cannot support Hillary, though. Lies and misrepresentation - and IMO her presidency would be as full or those as is her campaign.

I feel that you are seeding insinuations that are clearly not supported by facts: a tactical statement about campaigning and a common stump speech line, repeated so often that it has no bearing on any particular part of the campaign.

Fuck that. I'm not going to lighten up on people who vote for conservatives and/or conservative policies just because they happen to be black. Neither should Bernie. Neither should any progressive.

That's the division that matters: not between whites and POC...between the oligarchs (& their sock puppets) and the people.
