Some folks do not get it...it is not a matter of "support", it is a matter of education for some Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #64
Where do you get that from? David__77 Aug 2015 #77
From their own mouths. HooptieWagon Aug 2015 #96

Listen to the interview. SonderWoman Aug 2015 #15
I watched until she shoved Sanders. That's assault. HooptieWagon Aug 2015 #16
If you don't care then why should they support Bernie? SonderWoman Aug 2015 #18
They can support whomever they want. HooptieWagon Aug 2015 #32

So we voted for President Obama because he promised hope and change. Was that not help? jwirr Aug 2015 #106
Find what are the conditions in your town and join in the efforts to change it nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #110
Our community went through this long ago and we dealt with it. We have the white community and jwirr Aug 2015 #111
Glad to hear it nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #112
I know I have been trying to explain how economic justice did help our community. The casinos jwirr Aug 2015 #113
Currently we are having a fight over a casino nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #114
One important thing about the casino - we run our own we do not let someone else make the jwirr Aug 2015 #115
Which is the second problem nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #116

The assumption that thewhite progressives there have bad faith bothers me Armstead Aug 2015 #70
Stop making sense... tk2kewl Aug 2015 #17
Yeah, well, I'm just a lilly white middle aged fat guy hootinholler Aug 2015 #19

Hillary's secret service detail will make sure no one get near her like they did Bernie. nt Stellar Aug 2015 #44
Bullshit. jeff47 Aug 2015 #65
There are zero Clinton rally's scheduled Jeff. joshcryer Aug 2015 #75
There are fundraisers scheduled. It doesn't have to be a rally. jeff47 Aug 2015 #79
You want cameras and controversy. joshcryer Aug 2015 #81

Bernie Sanders has heard and responded to their voice! Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #22
Sanders' platform was well into the making. joshcryer Aug 2015 #25

And they're idiots. joshcryer Aug 2015 #29

Sorry, check my edit. joshcryer Aug 2015 #33
No worries JackInGreen Aug 2015 #36
Blasphemy! We get ONE ISSUE at a time! Cosmic Kitten Aug 2015 #38
Clinton is not "hiding"! Where have you been? Once again having to dishonestly attack another to bolster your own horse...it is gratuitous. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #39
No... JackInGreen Aug 2015 #45
And this kind of "logic" is exactly the same as Republicans once used to attack Candidate Obama. Complete nothings. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #47
You assume objective fact as an attack. joshcryer Aug 2015 #49
Facts do tend JackInGreen Aug 2015 #61
Ummm when was her last public rally? Cosmic Kitten Aug 2015 #46
BS post her public rally schedule. joshcryer Aug 2015 #48
On August 10, 2015? Why? 450 days to Election Day! And everyone gets to do their own schedule, Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #50
Link please. joshcryer Aug 2015 #51
What were the details on that event? Cosmic Kitten Aug 2015 #54
Logic is lacking..... like I said. Judging merit by number of debates or number of "rallies"... I rest my case. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #62
You can also support BLM ibegurpard Aug 2015 #42
Absolutely yes. I support both. marble falls Aug 2015 #43

The "switchers" are beyond pathetic. joshcryer Aug 2015 #84
I do. I have marched against recent deaths of Black youth at hands of the authorities. mmonk Aug 2015 #67
BLM wants to be heard. We Sanders supporters are listening and agreeing with it. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #68
"whether it is BLM or the KKK ... or anti-abortion" joshcryer Aug 2015 #83
I like your OP a lot, but the dismissive "he wasn't doing enough apparently" makes me angry. Vattel Aug 2015 #91
Sorry, that was tongue in cheek. joshcryer Aug 2015 #92
Thanks. Vattel Aug 2015 #93
Well put Josh davidpdx Aug 2015 #69

Well reasoned and true. DU should self-eliminate those who force a choice. msanthrope Aug 2015 #86
That second paragraph in my PM evolved. joshcryer Aug 2015 #88
I think so too but apparently BLM thinks I'm a white supremacist liberal. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #89
Nope. joshcryer Aug 2015 #90
josh, this post is ridiculous. You are not a Person of Color, and don't speak for them. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #95
BLM doesn't want my support. I will just be indifferent to them. nt m-lekktor Aug 2015 #101
I think I also wrote this for you nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #109
And I do. kenfrequed Aug 2015 #121
I'll continue to work for racial justice despite my problems with some of BLM's tactics. Comrade Grumpy Aug 2015 #126
