2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I wonder if the Black vote was what sealed the deal [View all]johnlucas
(1,250 posts)I couldn't give a pile of horse manure what crazed supporters say.
I'm listening to THE MAN himself.
I'm not voting for Bernie's supporters. I'm voting for BERNIE.
And I feel you about Bernie EARNING your vote.
I feel very strongly that he will do just that within the next few months.
And I thank you for being willing to back him regardless if he becomes the nominee.
There may be some racist, arrogant, rude Bernie supporters. I don't discount that.
But Bernie HIMSELF is not racist, arrogant, or rude.
That Bernie Bro stereotype is not reality.
It's probably a smear from Hillary's camp for all we know.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a fully authentic person in that Presidential seat.
Without taking big corporate money out of politics we will NEVER EVER get any real plans done.
It starts from there AND THEN we can pass progressive legislation that helps ALL people in this country instead of just a few.
Don't get caught up with the fools in the crowd.
Keep your eye on the man himself.
Look at the big picture & don't worry about these small smudges.
For me there was no doubt who I'm gonna support in 2016.
I'm SO glad Bernie came along to keep me from having to vote for Hillary just to be against a Republican.
A man who stays consistent for that long & ALSO gets it right for that long is the REAL DEAL.
A lot of Blacks support Hillary out of fear & misplaced loyalty.
It's bizarre to me to see Blacks support the Clintons in ANY way knowing what I know about them now.
To make up for my first vote in 1996 voting for Bill Clinton, I will vote for Bernie Sanders to atone.
