131. I don't view myself as having much in common with Kim Kardashian so it is hard

Thu May 21, 2015, 05:32 PM

May 2015

for me to believe black lives matter feel much in common with her husband.

When you look at issues, who will they appreciate more? Someone who offers them free college or someone who offers them a bit of debt relief. Will they appreciate someone who outsources their jobs, then tells them to go to colleges they can't afford so the can pay the debt, or be losers forever? Or will they appreciate someone who preserves their working class jobs and makes it easy for them to improve from there, with free University education? Will tbey want someone who offers them a voucher for a conman run charter school or someone who is willing to fund their neighborhood school? There are so many things neoliberals like Hillary compare poorly on if your not rich. Bernie can beat Hillary with issue orientated movements, and that includes black lives matter.

I think they enjoyed Obama's success vicariously but that CAN'T transfer to Hillary, for obvious reasons.
