(2,124 posts)Can't you all see this?
Its as if each side competing to see how below the belt they can go.
Unity isn't even talked about.
We are very lucky we have a buffoon running on the other side or we would be in for beating this November.

(1,151 posts)That was then, this is now. Are you implying that the mostly POC voters that Clinton has relied on to win are ignorant or have short political memories? We KNOW the nasty shit Hillary did in 2008 to try and win. We know how she basically tried to sway SDs with an argument effectively saying "I'm white so I'm more electable" (And to be fair it WAS a real concern, which is why a lot of black voters took a while to come over to Obama)
In fact, I've said many times that Bernie is really running the Mark Penn campaign that screwed Hillary over. Had Bernie run an intersectional-focused campaign, he COULD have gone a long way with this issue, but he didn't. Hire black staffers including at the top, make racial issues the centerpiece of the campaign, give more speeches like the one he gave at Liberty U, dump Cornel West and he would have had a chance, but he didn't do those things.
