How is Bernie criticizing democrats every chance that he gets not hurting the party? nt Blue_true Apr 2018 #34

From what I have seen, he is criticizing the message. RDANGELO Apr 2018 #40

Maybe Proud Liberal Dem Apr 2018 #45

You might have a point about the way in which he makes his criticisms. RDANGELO Apr 2018 #55

So criticizing Bernie's message is "tone policing," but criticizing Dems' is "help." Got it. SunSeeker Apr 2018 #46

All the negative attention tells me Bernie is seen as threat by some financial/political forces. jalan48 Apr 2018 #42

I wonder what the polls say about his support from the AFrican AMerican community Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #60

I would assume the AA Community is a political force. jalan48 Apr 2018 #82

Didnt you mean financial force politically? Didnt you mean Wall Street? Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #84

Yes, I doubt Wall Street and the big banks support Bernie and they have the big bucks. jalan48 Apr 2018 #97

Wait WHAT did you just say? That black people are aligning with Wall STreet against Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #99

No-I said it's interesting they are aligned in opposition to Bernie. jalan48 Apr 2018 #107
