Obama agreed with Bernie about Cuba. Should he shut the fuck up too?

I am shocked to my core that Kamala Harris endorsed Joe Biden... Nahhh.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think Biden is the best person to beat Trump? He has SO MUCH baggage that Trump is going to hammer him with like how he brags about working together with segregationists, how he lied about being a civil rights protester and then admitted he was lying and then lied about it again. Or…

Thank you for demonstrating misogynoir perfectly. Now go fuck yourself.

The day I ever vote for someone Bloomberg endorses is the day hell freezes over.

YES. He is easily the most toxic commenter on this site, and I think he has really shown his true self this time. But of course, there will still be those who tee-hee at his venom. 

I find it interesting that she talks about the reactionary right as though she’s not one of them.

No today’s moderates are today’s moderates, which fits Biden to a tea.  Joe has not “always been on the side of progress”, stop trying to gaslight everybody when the TRUTH is just a google search away. 

I didn’t think I could be shocked by cdwag anymore but here we are watching black women be torn apart in an article where a black woman was condescended to in stunning fashion. 

She’s a dark skin black woman and a Bernie supporter thus a particular contempt is aimed at her; it’s an accepted misogynoir and it’s gonna get worse. The level of hostility thrown at Sanders and his supporters here is something else.

I honestly thought it was just me who felt this way... it’s so frustrating as a Black woman who has supported the root since the beginning, reading the odd pro Biden anti Bernie posts, and then having my comments about it disappear in the greys. It feels like the root doesn’t care about all of our opinions.

So while Joe Biden might not have always been in the front lines he’s been marching for a long time and he’s always been on the side of progress over purity, something that can’t be said of his rival for the nomination”

1. The Root is very anti Bernie Sanders and anything/anyone connected to Sanders.

Meeks is my congresscritter. I hope he loses the primary, although I wouldn’t be surprised if he ran on the Republian line as well. He’s done that before (in one of the many years he ran unopposed.)

I respect the hell out of her and this isn’t the first time Root’s Voldermort pulled this shit which is why I went after him. However, as I just told him not to ever reply to me again, I will be taking my own advice and not replying to him ever again.

Thanks. I figured that out a bit too late. I do wonder though why people in general who seem like they’d be all about Nina’s messaging and politics, don’t defend her or ride for her or respect her. Even this article downplays who she is and what she was trying to communicate. I’d love to know why people don’t show…

Did you forget to put quotes around “apology?”

Learning about MLK is one thing. “MLK had a dream then he was shot and everyone was very sad and because of that we have a holiday in January.”

Well we have the Black gatekeepers who will do it for them.

So Joe Biden is going to apologize for her actions, right? Since candidates are now responsible for their supporters and she’s literally on TV shouting down a black woman until she stopped talking?
