LOL...I predicted (in an earlier comments section) that Harris would top this weeks poll the moment I heard Ayanna Pressley & a group of black women activists had endorsed Warren. For those paying close attention, seems every time Kamala suffers a bit of a setback in the real political world she moves up in the…

Wow Jason.

“ Jumping out of the shadows it’s Beto O’Rourke, who slashed his way to the top for the first time in our rankings”

hehehee, this aged well ;)  

lol. You shitstain. The FLEX criteria is code for this moron pulls stuff out his ass. Reality be damned.

Interesting. Why did Sanders get applause from the audience, then? They must have been hearing something you didn’t.

 #1: Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke

Aaaaand...Beto’s tapped out.  So much for #1.

Kiss of death- Beto gets ranked #1, and drops out of the race.

Sweet Jesus. SMH

To give his answer some substance, he could have talked about criminal justice reform, retraining police, emphasized the benefits of community policing, etc.

The candidates you favor are almost all centrist corporate sell-outs, telling us what we want to hear, but offering half-measures, and equivocating when the big donors tell them they don’t like something. Your commentary is simply extension of the smear tactics used in 2016 against Sanders.

beto is #1 on the list? that opportunistic weasel fuck doesnt deserve to even place. this week is just as bad as last week’s. 

These lists are literal proof that The Root is out of touch with real black people in America.

Sanders’ answer was “trash” because you were looking for a click-bait headline and excised a single sentence from a paragraph-length response. A response that’s little different than what black parents tell their kids. Any idiot calling him an “old racist” needs to wise up to the fact that Biden is only 2 years…

“What advice would you give to your teenage black son or daughter when dealing with police”.

What would have the acceptable answer have been? The fact that he suggested the outcome of a black male college student not doing what the police says in the manner they want would result in them getting shot in the back of the head is a stark criticism of police behavior. He followed up with an explicit statement to…

Right after that he says:

Good god this article is fucking bullshit.

Splinter is gone but this horrible blog is still here.

He answered the question and you’re trying to attribute it to his opinion on a LOT OF OTHER THINGS. You can’t fucking see where that’s hack work?

Seriously, some of you here, author included, are creating your own problems. We know the police, by and large, are racist. Got it. Check. So when you encounter them, it’s best to de-escalate the situation yourself if you can. Otherwise, you’re just signing your own death certificate. Yeah there are instances…

Bernie “I have the most multi-racial coalition” Sanders. Looks like enough people are figuring out that Bernie’s bold and comprehensive policies will serve far more good for racial equality than the act of pandering or political dodging a question— the way virtually any other candidate would have treated this…
