Democrats have nothing to gain be telling Bernie and his supporters to go to hell

[Ken Burch]

224. I've been in the real world for decades. I've proved that.

There's nothing in the real world that discredits my views.

Especially not in Texas, where Dems have been running and losing as economic conservatives for decades now. Yes, race is involved, but people of color aren't AGAINST economic justice-they are usually to the left of white Dems on those issues, it's just that they justly want the fight against racism centered-and news flash, nobody is AGAINST centering it, nor does centering it.

And there's no contradiction between supporting economic justice and fighting at the same time to make sure people of color and the poor get to vote. We can do BOTH. Do you really think economic justice activists are unable to go to polling stations and make sure people want to vote?

A lot of Sanders people are working as poll watchers and doing just as much as economic justice opponents like yourself to make sure everyone can vote. Voting rights has never been an issue that only HRC supporters cared about.

Why do you turn everything into either/or? Why do you insist on framing it as Sanders OR Clinton? Voting rights OR economic justice? Economic justice OR social justice?

A message that offers no change on economic issues has nothing to offer poor people, of ANY race.

The true real world need is to fight for justice for the people-whether social OR economic. You can't have one without the other.
