2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Supporters - Please read my post [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)But you nailed it.
The racist shit stirring was happening way before the BLM kerfuffle, and I pretty much stayed out of that, so it's not about that. It's about a concerted effort by the HRC supporters to paint Sanders as bad on racial issues at best, and racist at worst ("Not Enough, Bernie" .
The BLM issue made it all explode to a point where it got so ugly on both sides I just didn't care what anyone on DU had to say about it and stayed out of it. Luckily for me my last job ended and my new job is a great opportunity for me so I have really immersed myself in it and haven't been on DU much since I started on it.
I'll spend my free time actually working on Bernie's campaign when I get more of it again. In fact, I've spent 20 minutes too much on Du today already.
