So I guess we got the meme [View all] peacebird Jul 2015 OP
I think Hillary supporters will find that biting them in the butt. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #1
And I've heard Sanders mention that every speech ie: education vs prison Triana Jul 2015 #14
And you've heard it in 'white messaging'. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #19
Specifically, what should he change? n/t Triana Jul 2015 #21
For that, I'll pass you to the BLM folks. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #27
That is very true but I pity the candidates - we have a system in which we exhaust our candidates jwirr Jul 2015 #73
I think we're back to getting money out of politics being a solution there. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #75
That has been needed a long time because there is nothing that shouts white control so much jwirr Jul 2015 #80
If they had simply asked," Hey Bernie, come on Zorra Jul 2015 #146
They didn't. So get over it. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #147
Thanks for that link. From your link: merrily Jul 2015 #155
I still think it devolves ack to something a lot of folks around here often don't want to hear Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #157
You are one of my favorite posters on this board. But I stopped reading right here: merrily Jul 2015 #158
OK, 'always' was a poor choice of words. But did you also notice what the problem was? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #159
NO. You are a fantastic poster, IMO. merrily Jul 2015 #162
Because you're in my 'wheelhouse' when it comes to messaging. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #163
Maybe, but I like you a lot more than plenty of people who are theoretically in the same merrily Jul 2015 #165
I agree with almost everything in your post. merrily Jul 2015 #161
Yes, as I posted in another comment Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #167
Agree. merrily Jul 2015 #177
What is "white messaging"? ybbor Jul 2015 #25
Well, first off, it's the default messaging used by white politicians. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #30
Thanks for the clarification ybbor Jul 2015 #37
The very first step Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #52
I agree with everything you say ybbor Jul 2015 #62
I like to think 'my side' is everyone's side. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #65
You know not 10 minutes ago I said the same thing ybbor Jul 2015 #68
It's both a Class and Race Analysis which always needs to be understood as the underpinning 2banon Jul 2015 #82

Excellent points, well said. 2banon Jul 2015 #101
Well, as you might guess from my name and handle Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #104
Totally didn't get that in your handle. 2banon Jul 2015 #112
It's my name and the appropriate degree. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #113

False equivalency. The OP is not about far right of the Republican Party attacking merrily Jul 2015 #7

Glad to hear it! merrily Jul 2015 #44
Sometimes, you just gotta step back. They won't change your mind and you ain't gonna change theirs Autumn Jul 2015 #47
I agree. When we give so much attention to a rediculous idea like that one - especially online - jwirr Jul 2015 #94
It's interesting that in all the anger, I haven't seen any one ask why isn't our President Autumn Jul 2015 #105
