AOC also raised money for Omar and herself, but only Bernie gets bashed for it. He was having dinner with Omar, in fact, when she found out about the “Send her back” chant at Trunp’s rally. There’s a pick online taken by another restaurant patron, of Omar looking very upset and Bernie consoling her. I can guarantee…
To be more accurate I said Hillary rode the coattails of Bill and Obama. And I had a dual major of Women’s Studies and psychology and think you’re a jerk.
Bernie doesn’t talk about rich people either except to say some are greedy. I don’t think $15/hr min.wage, affordable prescriptions, lower co-pays, publically supported “free” college tuition, and protecting the environment are negative.
Check out Bernie’s Contessional addresses on mass incarceration which “punishes blacks.” The youtube video is called The Truth About Bernie Sanders and the Crime Bill.”
If Sanders is considered ultra left bc he supports the reality of institutional racism, so why is he being criticized for not sufficiently supporting black people? In the most recent Harvard-Harris and Quinnipiac national polls on Sander’s favorability to Americans, blacks gave him his highesr rating at 77% and 7O%…
The sexist cry was pure fabrication. I’m a feminist, a woman, with a degree in Women’s Studies and you know what I find sexist? Degrading the meaning of sexist or racist to create a false narrative that will try to turn voters away. Riding on your husband’s coat tails, and on the coattails of a male president is not…
Maybe it was damage control since not only did Clinton never visit those states in the general, she called their inhabitants “deplorable “ A bit remiss if yr trying to be prez.
The dem guy in Philly who the dems adored, Carter Lamb, made a campaign ad, shooting off an AR-15 for fun. They sent Biden to stump for him. Why did they overlook his pro-gun policies? Because they feel Trump is so dangerous that we have to focus on getting back those thousand seats lost in the past few years. That’s…
Your assessment of Bernie’s white supporters, of which I am one, I believe is not applicable to most of his white voters. (Fyi: blacks do like Bernie, too. According to a recent Quinnipiac poll of Jan/’18, Bernie’s highest approval rate is by blacks at 70%. His lowest by white men at 43%. So much for the…
I am white. I was not long ago reading Dick Gregory’s autobiography “Nigger.” A neighborhood acquaintance, a young Black man, asked me what I was reading lately. I told him the title (and the author), and he and his friend looked a little askance at eachother. Should I have just pulled the book out of my purse and…
Neoliberal means you are okay with billionaires and corporate money buying our elections, preventing our reps from voting for the policies that will help the greatest number of ppl struggle less in their daily lives. As a feminist who once supported Senator Hillary Clinton, but parted ways after her Iraq war vote —…
As long as one’s discussion is not vile or violent, it should be published on this thread, regardless if it points to uncomfortable truths about HC and the DNC. (In this case about a deal that was unethical and wound up hurting the states that were led to believe it would help them raise money for down ballot…
I think he does take it seriously. The dnc joined him on this, as well. The Republicans are out to destroy our most basic protections. It is urgent that we get them out of Congress. Btw: it was HC who had exceptions to abortion rights, not Bernie; but the Hillers ignored this.
Not a fact. Far from it. Please read the Politico article of 2016 and this one of April, 2016 showing quite the opposite. States who partiplipated in the joint DBC-HC fund were duped and lost out big time. HC benefitted with the bulk of the “fund” going to her campaign. It is important to do your homework before…
Here’s how Hillary’s fundraising for dem down-ballot candidates from states who participated in the DNC-HC joint deal caysed many dem losses in 2916. The definitive article, by Margot Kidder, out there since 4/2016, explains in detail how it went down.
Would you rather have a rare Democrat in Congress who believes in curtailing abortion rights or more Repblicans who feel the same? Neither; but here’s what Sanders said about his and the DNC’s justification in supporting the Nebraska candidate:
It was probably familiarity with the Clintons and a slew of hate crimes against black americans that led a majority of blacks to support Hillary over Bernie. But in an April 2017 Harvard-Harris poll on Sander’s favorability, his rating among blacks was the highest of all groups responding:
Maybe Bernie didn’t sign on bc he didn’t want any Wall Street money. His platform stressed the problem of politicians taking their money and then not voting in the best interests of their constituents. Say what you want, but the “little people” funding the bulk of his campaign is admirable and more egalitarian.…
Please read Margot Kidder’s in depth explanation of how the Hillary Victory Fund actually worked to not help down ballot candidates because states were given one half of one percent of the millions the DNC-HC fund raked in. She agreed to “help out” bc it meant huge sums for her campaign. Google: Margot Kidder…
