In reply to the discussion: This is NOT Bernie's revolution! It's a gross suggestion. [View all]Jamastiene
(38,187 posts)9. You know. I did vote for Bernie this time in the primaries this year,
but I haven't heard him say one word about George Floyd's murder. Not. One. Word.
I'm not happy about that. I'm disappointed about that. I'm actually pissed off about that, to be honest. His ideas are great in theory, but where the fuck is he when it comes to civil rights? If he cannot be bothered to speak up on civil rights, then he is missing an important bit of character that I need to see in a politician.
If he cannot be bothered, I will gladly vote for the ones who can take the time to at least say something.

The original complaint was that Sanders had not said anything about the situation.

And your proof was a statement where Sanders didn't even bother to say his name.
