But he refuses to tell the truth about race and racism in this country, which supercedes class and Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #13

Bullshit. And for the love of reason, it is not Either/Or cali Feb 2016 #14

Wrong on checking my grammar and wrong on Sanders. He refuses to tell the truth about RACE! Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #16

Are you supporting O'Malley? DisgustipatedinCA Feb 2016 #47

I'm pretty sure he wasn't referring to your grammar. He was saying that he doesn't believe we tblue37 Feb 2016 #65

Yes, we should shoot for both, but that's not the argument that Sanders is putting forth. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #74

I was just pointing out that the other poster wasn't accusing you of a grammar error. nt tblue37 Feb 2016 #87

Oh, o.k., but I made that point. It's not an "either/or" argument. I do understand that. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #89

I take it you are a POC. I wonder why so many who seem not to be are arguing with you. Jackie Wilson Said Feb 2016 #104

Yes it is. JDPriestly Feb 2016 #116

Not a snark! TRUTH! Sanders goes around talking about how economic justice is more important Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #17

Please learn the difference between opinion and "truth" cali Feb 2016 #19

It seems to me that fear is at the root of most racism. Francis Booth Feb 2016 #141

Cool Uponthegears Feb 2016 #34

I think he talks about economic justice more, because it resonates more with most people. Fast Walker 52 Feb 2016 #51

And that's why he will lose. Black voters have not warmed up to Sanders. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #125

I suppose so... we will see Fast Walker 52 Feb 2016 #130

Poverty breeds racism-- that is why Bernie's message is critical Fast Walker 52 Feb 2016 #139
