But... She got heckled there before and is not finna go back up in there!! They said they'll get her too.

They really see no use in dealing with republicans. I'm sure you don't either. No point. They plan on getting them too though. See, right now some folks are hurt because of their candidate getting critisized and will not let him fix it himself. They keep trying to get Elon fired and are going through all these changed. They do not see that Bernie mishandled the framing. Hell, O'Malley did too, but he stayed andctalked to the protestors afterwards. He fixed it. Bernie left and sent an aide. Then his fan started harassing black folks. He really had just a minor slip,up that coukd have been fixed easily by just meeting with the group. Hire some black staff so he knows wtf black twitter is saying. But no, they panic and damage the situation worse.
It's not him. It's the die hard super angry condescending supporters who won't let him fix his own shit. They think they are saving him but they are just making his message fall flat. I think me and just about every other black person has recieved a full biography by now.

The supporter of O'Malley mostly just chilled and let their guy handle it. They trusted him. That's why you don't see omalleysoblack.

Berniesoblack is about his supporters schooling black folks on civil rights. bravenak Jul 2015 #12

I get that, I read the vox article, but a couple of points Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #16

Bombarding non supporters is counterproductive at this point. bravenak Jul 2015 #20

Again....why were Bernie and O'Malley targeted? Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #24

If Hillary were there she would have got hers. bravenak Jul 2015 #25

I may be wrong, but didn't Sanders have a meeting scheduled with BLM for the same day.... Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #28

Possibly. But he still needs to go himself. Some felt like he thought he was too good. bravenak Jul 2015 #60

You are saying he should have done something no human I know of could have managed. merrily Jul 2015 #64

Man. It is how the primaries roll. bravenak Jul 2015 #65

I did not criticize Clinton for not being there, so that has nothing to do with my post. merrily Jul 2015 #81

And I see that as a HUGE problem. Why target human beings before you ascertain they deserve to be a Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #46

I think this was about elevating black lives to the top of the agenda. We're dying. bravenak Jul 2015 #47

I watched the video and I didn't think Bernie was mad. The media all said he got testy and I didn't merrily Jul 2015 #59

I'm used to getting crazy shit like nigger shouted at me. I would have done much better. bravenak Jul 2015 #61

Yes, you would have. Because you have had experience with it and expect it. My point is he had merrily Jul 2015 #62

Gotta expect it running for president. bravenak Jul 2015 #63

Its not just about netroots.....its about the attacks from this flank since he announced.nt Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #38

If he were running a decent campaign, Gman Jul 2015 #39

That's an unfair and a disgusting sentiment. Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #40

Rather blunt, yeah but Gman Jul 2015 #42

How does he have control over who turns out for his rallys? Joe the Revelator Jul 2015 #43

By early on keep talking about a cross section of issues Gman Jul 2015 #50
