How well-meaning could they be if they aren’t willing to put into practice? People get worn the eff out living in survival mode in a first world country. The more things change, the more they stay the same (by being complicit in a bad system).

Because the ideas you say you hold don’t mean anything more than the paper it’s printed on if you don’t actually create policy and speak that way.

That’s great and all but we aren’t talking about cars, we’re talking about the ability to exist equally in a healthy and safe society.

You’re a car person, I’m assuming based on your avatar. So let’s say you want to sell a car that’s worth $2,000. Hillary was asking $2,500 and by starting at a reasonable mark up she virtually assures all she’d get was $2,000, possibly even less. Sanders was asking $3,500 hoping through negotiations to arrive at…

You need to take big swings and swing for the fences. Clinton’s early losses (Health Care) primed her to start with a compromise position so that she could get things accomplished. Then the other side(s) would whittle away the compromise position down to nothing. Compromise happens, but it shouldn’t happen first.

Remember that attitude any time you want something changed from the status quo.

Compromise is fine if it works, if the gains outweigh what is sacrificed. How can stagnant wages since the ‘70s, dramatic reductions in access to family planning, huge declines in democratic representation in state government, federal government and judgeships, constant military adventurism and expansion, no…

Lol—fair enough. Anyway, I’m glad we can have a laugh, this discussion has gotten too vitriolic, I’m guilty of it too; at the end of the day, we’re all on the same side here, after all.

I agree with everything you said, Hillary won, Al Gore won, democrats regularly get more votes for Congress, but it doesn’t matter because the republicans are cheaters and now traitors as well. Having said that, Bernie lost the dem nomination because 90% of the blacks in the south voted for Hillary in the primaries…

Don’t blame me because you expressed your point poorly.

So you clearly understood my point. You just want to make me look like a jack-ass for not perfectly expressing my point with exactly the right phrasing?

Are you serious? Do you really think that those are the only three articles in that period? They aren’t. They are examples of lengthy articles about Sanders during the early-mid primary period when you claim he suffered from a “near black out” by the media.

I’m sorry. She lost. She didn’t win. She was defeated. She lost the electoral college handily.

You posted three pieces of media. Great. Three articles in three months. Clinton had three articles about her in one hour on most outlets during that same period, and Trump even more.

Yes, but the secret was that Hillary was a bullshit artist as well, and just told you what you wanted to hear. Bernie wanted success for everyone, Hillary only wanted it for her wealthy supporters.

True Bernie did not create platforms specifically for black people in general but he addressed serious issues that directly affected black people such as overhauling the justice system, shutting down for profit prisons which Hillary would not agree to and by the way are filled with minorities, other things such as…

Who is they? Did my preference for Sander and his policies suddenly revoke my blackness? If so, could you tell my local police, they seemed to be certain of my race.

except while maybe he doesnt overtly express it terms of black vs white, everything he stands for would help everyone, including black women.

Agreed. But more like: the DNC and the super PACs have hundreds of millions to throw at the next establishment Democrat, so screw what the people want.

Clinton won black women for many reasons, but here are a few:
