13. We have three great candidates.

Mon Nov 9, 2015, 12:21 AM

Nov 2015

One of them will be the nominee.

I simply don't understand the hatred being shown on either the Bernie or the Hillary side ( I see none of this from O'Malley supporters).

I'm still undecided and absolutely appalled by some of the crap being thrown around here. Some of you are going to feel very, very foolish when we get our nominee.

Why all the mud-slinging? Why the hatred? If you believe in your candidate, then do so and be happy.

It really makes me wonder about the mindset of those with so much hatred and vitriol in their souls.

Again, we have three great candidates.

We should be on the same side folks. I actually used to think we all were.

"red herrings" are distractions put out to change the subject of the discussion at hand- ish of the hammer Nov 2015 #95

There's that "we" again. Scootaloo Nov 2015 #31

We is correct. Look at the polls. You think I talk so much here and don't talk to black folks bravenak Nov 2015 #32

Like Bernie did. bravenak Nov 2015 #49

No. As you are doing. Scootaloo Nov 2015 #51

When did Bernie do that? nt Live and Learn Nov 2015 #53

He thought WE would come to HIM. Cause he marched.nt bravenak Nov 2015 #54

Well, damn him for marching then. What the hell was he thinking trying to support the rights of Live and Learn Nov 2015 #57

Why should we come to him? Why? Who is he that we should come to HIM? bravenak Nov 2015 #59

Why should 'you' go to her? Why? Who is the she that 'you' should go to HER? nt Live and Learn Nov 2015 #76

We are already there. She supports Obama. We are the most reliable Obama voting demigraphic. bravenak Nov 2015 #78

She ran against Obama!!!! Live and Learn Nov 2015 #80

Not when he was already PRESIDENT! That is the difference. bravenak Nov 2015 #82

That is your opinion. I can see him however I want. Without your permission. Mind yours. Not mine. bravenak Nov 2015 #103

You can think whatever you like of course, it's a free country. Kentonio Nov 2015 #104

Do you think I need a lecture on Dr King from a white person on DU? bravenak Nov 2015 #105

The question for us all and especially for African-Americans is "Are we better off now than we JDPriestly Nov 2015 #61

Why do you get to decidd what is ESPECIALLY important for African Americans? bravenak Nov 2015 #66

Same reason you think you get to decide, maybe? nt Live and Learn Nov 2015 #68
