31. The lizard brain reaction against women and poc
Sun Feb 21, 2016, 02:59 AM
Feb 2016

From true progressives of all people is astounding. Attack, attack, attack to defend their candidate. Believe the white people
Huerta heard what she heard, there are people who back her story. The video proves nothing, it's noisey with people shouting, can't hear every word, I will give sarandon the benefit of the doubt she didn't give Huerta and perhaps she wasn't close enough to hear everything. It's disgusting. The elite progressives are whittling away at their allies, at what cost and for what? Or who?
Now I've read several threads from Bernie supporters that young people don't fall for racial divisions. How fucking tone deaf can they be? Look at blm, or maybe they don't count because some white progressives will shut their eyes to racism rather than admit their guy and liberals in general have failed to address racism. There are fucking racial divisions in this country for gods sake, saying young people only want to talk about race when it makes them feel good is just continuing that pathological white guilt that has pushed the problem deeper in our psyche without addressing it head on. To call civil rights leaders liars, corporate shills, in the tank, too stypid, too manipulated too corrupt to know who to support or know what they heard is the lowest of low. How dare they.
I'm sick of it, of for fucks sake, I'm sick of it.

Including Susan Sarandon.. who does not have a good track record. Cha Feb 2016 #11
I love Sarandon as an actress but not so much as a political activist. After all, she voted Nader BlueCaliDem Feb 2016 #17

Clue me in.. what does that mean? Cha Feb 2016 #37
Simply put, it means "take your ass somewhere, and sit the hell down". Tarheel_Dem Feb 2016 #39
Gracias! I just didn't know if it were some movie reference I didn't get. Cha Feb 2016 #42
