I can't imagine being a Muslim youth in a climate like this.

7. Not to be critical of him but I was hoping for something new.

I listened and he was on message. I don't think you can convince people not to hate by talking to them. Hate is learned. People need to mix and get to know each other.

We are too siloed

10. He wants them to chanel their anger to a positive cause

Instead of hating others, they should grow a movement to change the way things are structured. Because the way things are structured is basically why they are angry to begin with.

We need to be doing something while it is changing.

I know because I was a xenophobe about twenty years ago. I thought that immigrants were lowering our standard of living.

Just this summer an immigrant that doesn't speak English said I was the only American he ever liked. (he said it to a third person who told me.)

The system didn't change I did.

Instead of picking blacks, mexicans, muslims and supporting people like Trump, we have to reach those people and get them to stop supporting the people who give tax breaks to the rich and shipping our jobs overseas.

He really nailed it imo.

9. What a stellar interview

Bernie Sanders was tremendously impressive as he answered Rachel's pointed questions regarding Trump and the smell of fascism in today's political air. If you missed this interview, try to access it on MSNBC's website when it is available.
