A liberal judge would definitely overturn it.

Yeah when people talk about privilege, do they ignore the stakes for brown and black people around the world? Because they’re real. They have suffered. They will suffer. The world wants Sanders to be President.

Most of Sanders’ supporters are poor. He’s got 45 percent of the primary vote. This discussion of who’s showing privileged among privileged white people is a little ridiculous. The stakes are high in this election. Much higher than “not Trump.” After decades of policies which have left the poor out to dry, we have a

What about when poor people talk about revolution?

It almost did. Obama 2008 was a progressive run for the presidency. If not for Bush 1 and 2, we would not have our first black President.

Why is she shutting down POC Black Lives Matter activists at her events, then?

Chiming in to say, glad that dude was never more than a passing figure in my periphery.

“Bernie believes that solar, wind, geothermal power and energy efficiency are proven and more cost-effective than nuclear—even without tax incentives, and that the toxic waste byproducts of nuclear plants are not worth the risks of the technology’s benefit.”

Do you dispute this?

If you’ve actually read my posts, I’ve said my views are more or less those of Coates and Alexander. Measured, somewhat melancholy, but still clear. You don’t have to be “feeling the Bern” to assess the current political field right now.

Michelle Alexander:
