(94,179 posts)...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.

(8,760 posts)you aren't standing with anyone when you claim that Bernie has a deep dislike for black people in the south...
Disgusting.

(75,480 posts)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.
bigtree
(94,179 posts)...and treating voters who don't support them in our Democratic primary as ignorant.
Winning strategy.

(75,480 posts)I wish it were ignorance. It would be more understandable.

Cleita
(75,480 posts)You guys realize you have taken your Hillary worship to a cult status and it shows with every disingenuous post made against Bernie.
MaggieD
(7,393 posts)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?

(101,840 posts)Please cite the African Americans who think Hillary Clinton is their savior?
Thank you in advance.
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...

(20,453 posts)You KNOW you're doing it, and you enjoy doing it.
Your twisted OP should be redacted to remove YOUR WORDS, not Sanders.
For FUCK'S Sake.... Can't you at LEAST get your facts? Hillary supporters like YOU give the rest of them a REALLY bad name.
UN-REC
bigtree
(94,179 posts)...according to Sanders supporters. Those ignorant defenses are regularly employed here when someone dares speaks out about race and Sanders.
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.

(6,282 posts)Bad Thoughts
(2,657 posts)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.
whatchamacallit
(15,558 posts)It's impossible to deny the antipathy certain voters have for Sanders. It's celebrated on DU daily. My respect for some posters has dropped below zero.

Please, insult our intelligence some more with obvious disgusting race baiting.
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)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.
