In reply to the discussion: Let me know how this "harass Black people into voting for Sanders" campaign is working for y'all [View all]Erich Bloodaxe BSN
(14,733 posts)If I didn't know better, I'd think every one of these so called 'defenses' of Sanders were simply trolling by people determined to make sure he doesn't get a single black vote.
Bernie dropped the ball, but Jesus, people on here have been doing their damndest to take the ball and shred it into pieces so small they can't be seen. Do any of you so-called 'supporters' see Bernie attacking BLM? Anyone? Buelller.... Bueller.... Bueller...
And after the chorus of crickets, no, of course you don't. Because Bernie is smart enough to know that that's the quickest damn way to piss off every black person out there. To not only IGNORE people protesting the murder of members of their communities at the hands of police, but to actively ATTACK them, repeatedly, on social media of all forms.
Really, the best advocates for voting for anyone BUT Bernie are the people calling themselves supporters here.
If you can't shut up already simply out of decent respect for the long list of the dead that are being protested, then shut up for the simple goal of actually electing Bernie. On the other hand, if you don't actually give a damn if he gets elected, and simply want to pound your chest in white martyrdom, then keep on whining about BLM this, BLM that, 'ambushes' and 'hecklers'.
Aaaaargh.
