Im so glad the calls for unity have prevailed

Is really making a statement about “how loud money speaks.” And I find it fascinating that campaign finance reform and public financing has disappeared in lieu of a litany of excuses.

I’ve don’t think I’ve talked about unicorns and rainbows. What I have talked about is my concern that the poorest and most marginalized Americans are eschewed in favor of rhetoric and proposals directed toward the white, predominantly male, middle to upper-middle class. I’ve also commented about affluent critics of the party (not Sanders) who lambast need-based assistance or equal rights in favor of their own increased wealth. I find the claims of oppression by those who earn more than 99.7% of the world off-putting, and I think it irresponsible for politicians to play into it. I specifically argue against “purity” as a charge and point out that their is eager compromise about the rights and lives of the non-white male majority.

When I see you preach unity in one of the threads denouncing Obama or calling for the removal of Dems who just all happen to be women and people of color, or continual insults that anyone who fails to place one man above issues, equal rights, and their own inconsequential lives, I might believe unity matters to you. Let’s just say I won’t hold my breath. I’ve learned that no issue can’t be thrown aside and no there is nothing that doesn’t depend entirely on personality.
