Hillary May Have Just LOST This Campaign

[TM99]

196. Thank you so much for illustrating my point perfectly.

I knew I could count on you.

Now read everything again but this time slowly so you actually push past your biases and see what was really written.

Yes, actually things are and have been done for US! I know I am not a part of the 'in group' of blacks here at DU but I am also a POC. Changing racism, sexism, and bigotry are predominantly a cultural and psychological issue. You can NOT legislate empathy, understanding, or acceptance. The landmark changes FINALLY in this country on LGBT marriage rights demonstrate this again and again. As the culture has changed, civil action becomes legal action.

But with that said, I have not minimized a damned thing. I said BOTH are important. But Clinton and other neo-liberals like yourself focus on one to the exclusion of the other.

I know you care about 'white privilege'. I know you care about issues impacting POC. I know you care about LGBT rights and women's equality. But I do not know that you care about economic progressivism. You have yours. You have said as much.

But...do you care about another NAFTA like free trade agreement? Do you care that we got health insurance reform instead of healthcare reform? Do you care that unemployment is still WAY too high and that what jobs are available pay less in annual income than in decades past accounting for inflation? Do you care about bank bailouts, run away Wall Street greed, and the revolving door of money in politics? Do you care that we have the highest military budget of any other damned nation in the world? Do you care that we rank near last in developed nations on child poverty? Do you care that most of that poverty affects POC?

Sanders supports both. I and many others here support both. I have yet to read that you do. So yes, you fit perfectly with what I said.
