Not Good Enough, Bernie

[freshwest]

126. You refer to her beginning to find out at age and her AA mentors.

As far as the Goldwater issue, she quit them just as she entered college when she got her real education and fought racial discrimination at her college.

Warren was also a GOP much later in life. I know some people that were 'born Republican' but this was prior to the advent of Atwater's Southern Strategy. FDR gave into southern Democrats who didn't an anti-lynching law passed - that's not equality under the law, due process, etc. Now they absolutely hate what they have become. They had their eyes opened.

So each hero fails to be perfect. I just read a scathing piece from the WSWS about how Sanders is an 'imperialist, anti-labor, blah, blah, blah.' I don't think he's any of those things nor do I think that all GOP were racists. He is however, much more mainsteam than he is being painted here. He'll get thrown under the bus.

I don't blame Sanders or Clinton for following trends. Right now we have trendy Libertarianism. But it's just proto-feudalism when you look at the end game. Same as those who want to tear the Democratic Party down for their Utopia. There are mass graves that underpin empires of whatever type or ideology.

That's just fact and it doesn't comport well with those who think only they can be right and all the rest are to be dismissed out of hand as stupid, lackeys, sheeple, and the rest of he names we hear online. It is a part of the human condition.

So while I find the OP's intent difficult to make out, I see what you are really going for from the majority of your posts. Nothing's going to suit everyone due to their life experiences and their priorities.

Mine is denying a right wing GOP to move into the White House, the same as Bernie has stated without blinking. We're damned close to it, because they have much more money than we do. Yes, much more than HRC.

But this OP falls more under the label of social justice rather than the new, let's forget about the racism that enabled stuff (that makes iSIS look tame) and make a fresh start and be economics only. I think Bernie is a much better man than some that have attacked Clinton allegedly on his behalf, when he would not stoop to the level.

Let's be as neutral as possible. I get the point you are making, but others may not get it. Expect flames, as some are unable to contain themselves.

Ignore spares me a lot of vitriol and willful stupidity on online websites. Misery does indeed love company, but it doesn't get anything worthwhile done.
