I've been kind of through with this for awhile

[Chitown Kev]

but this whole "Who was the real civil rights diva" of the 1960's BS (real answer: none of the above if Clinton and Sanders are choices) is stupid, is childish, and does little or nothing to convince me to support either candidate.

And, in fact, recycling all of this BS is turning me off even more to one candidate in particular.

EDIT: I am an undecided black voter. Given the date of my state's primary (March 15), I may not have all that much of a say in the process (at least as far as my vote is concerned) in any event.

1. But, but, it is all for YOUR benefit.

Dont you get that?

2. I know, me too

The way H> has treated the BLM and the things she said about Obama in 2008.

Just can't trust her. We see things the same!!

[Chitown Kev]

3. ix-nay on the former (with regard to Hillary and BLM)

affirmative in the latter.

4. March 15 seems early to me.

I think my state's primary is sometime after the general election.

5. Was any one saying that Bernie was a the greatest living civil rights hero

or anything like that? Of course he isn't. But point is, he's got a long civil rights record. Everyone knows he marched with MLK, but there's much more.

6. Why are you making the assumption

that I am not informed of your link there?

[jfern]

7. I don't think most people know that stuff

But I guess I was wrong to assume you didn't.

8. One part that really bothers me...

A part that really bothers me about touting those things. What year was Trayvon hunted down in the streets by a man with a license to kill blacks? We have failed and I think what you are saying is people need to start doing, not brag. What we are talking about since the seventies is failure in this area. Every damn one of em. I do see an effort by all three of them but some supporters are coming at this as if they have bragging right.

9. Aaaah, you're not far from me if you're in the city.

I'm just South of the city.

If Bernie wins NH and Iowa, we will still have a say! I can't wait to vote for him!

Did you get hit with the bloody typhoon winds today?

[Chitown Kev]

10. Just north of the city

and yes, the winds were vicious.

11. Both employ the same basics.

Both face the same risks of attrition - whether it's losing a supporter or losing that supporter to the other side.

When the candidates waste time on non-issues, make false claims, steer us away from their weaknesses, or even change spokespersons is like watching two kids on a see-saw. You'll end up doing what you're comfortable with, the rest of us are just more distractions for you to deal with.
