In reply to the discussion: Sen. Bernie Sanders On How Democrats Lost White Voters [View all]Deny and Shred
(1,061 posts)Usually you keep to the safe haven where you can alert on any "criticism" of HRC.
Typically, I hear about how the Bernie supporters are hurting his cause on DU.
This entire thread should be considered rebuttal testimony, you're pathetically parsing one quote while ignoring an entire career.
Obama won because he got many of the 50% who normally wouldn't bother to vote to the polls. The next general will only be won by a Dem candidiate if he/she can get the 50% that usually sit at home out to the polls. My biggest fear is that HRC does win the primary, because that 50% sees her as stale, boring, same old, same old. They will sit at home, and you will blame the left.
Convince that apathetic 50% to vote, don't tear down Sen. Sanders.
Funny how the end of the quote in the OP is about the role of the billionaire class. How do the candidates stack up as confronters on that front? Or do you just want to pick on the elements of the statement that suit your candidate?
