In other words, it should not matter what candidate Sanders has stood for, because it was all about the strategy of their movement.

Well, that might be good for media attention, but this did not jibe with the statement he made (more like false argument)… Just because 1 + 1 = 2 doesn't mean it will always = 2.

I maybe have understanding of his intent, but it's a low shot for a shitty reason I don't have to go into further.

It's pathetically fucked up.

Kwell's argument is bullshit from the start. SMC22307 Aug 2015 #15

why do you assume they didn't know about Sanders background ? JI7 Aug 2015 #18

Why do you assume I was referring to just blacks with the use of "they"? SMC22307 Aug 2015 #25

Kwell comparing Bernie to Donald Sterling? ProudToBeBlueInRhody Aug 2015 #19

Yes, my problem is the comparison as well. TM99 Aug 2015 #30

No. Kwell did not compare Bernie to Sterling. He was taking the NAACP to task. Not Bernie. Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #33

The comparison was in response to Maher's citing to Bernie's 100 NAACP rating ... 1StrongBlackMan Aug 2015 #48

That wasn't a comparison between the two gollygee Aug 2015 #58
