2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: 33% of Bernie Sanders Supporters Won't Back Hillary in the General [View all]for you to play the clip of her saying that to a room full of black people and make the argument you just made there. You wouldn't have the damn guts. She apologized for good reason and, besides, it wasn't just the word she used but the reason she was using it. She did push for very harsh sentencing laws, she did support prison privatization (some of those groups have been bundlers for her campaign this election cycle) and she and her husband did gut social programs that benefited the poor. The cuts decimated the black community and yet they bragged about those cuts for years, ending big government as we know it, and all that horribleness.
I have to ask, people like yourself call this stuff "repug talking points". What would a left wing critique of her look like? Cause it seems you people struggle seeing the difference, which is mind blowing. A left wing critique of her would apply even more to them.
