General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Thank you Thom Hartman for your perspective on the Marissa Johnson diatribe [View all]TBF
(36,600 posts)after I wrote this. I kept looking because it was bothering me. She feels like if he's the best we can do the whole thing should be burned down.
Honestly on some days I agree, but that is something you might think in frustration and express to a close friend. You don't say that on National TV or make it a basis for your protesting. Honestly I think she is a very confused young woman. I'm still trying to understand the turnabout in just a few years from supporting Palin to thinking Bernie's not good enough. And yet Hillary, who is far more conservative than Bernie (imo), is good enough. This is all crazy talk.
But I think she has had her 15 minutes, she is part of an extremist group aside from BLM, and people are moving on.
Side shows aside, I still support BLM and I'm sure Bernie Sanders does as well.
