In reply to the discussion: The piece of.... work who told Bernie he's not good enough on civil rights. What has she done? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)prove himself, his record does that. And yes, there were African Americans at the rally in VT. But it's not his style to try to get the cameras to focus on them. We are all sick to death of the staging, the scripting, the 'show' that is put on during campaign seasons.
Bernie walked the walk on Civil Rights when it wasn't so 'cool' to do so.
He supported Gay marriage while The Clinton Administration was denying their rights.
He never had to evolve on the rights of any group that was denied rights in this country. He was way, way ahead of almost every politician currently in this government right now.
You are not going to win any points by trying to smear Sanders on issues, he has the best record of anyone currently in this race or thinking about it, going all the back to his early years.
You would do better to talk about YOUR candidate's record.
Or maybe that is too difficult for you to do?
Just asking because that is usually why people do this kind of thing, try to drum up stuff that has no basis in fact.
You are going to be very surprised as this campaign goes forward.
So rather than be embarrassed later on, maybe it's best not to make stuff up right now.
He expects that I'm sure, and is in no rush to save anyone any embarrassment. Nor should he be.
Just try promoting your candidate, rather than attacking other candidates, it generally works better in the end.
