Dkos: No, Senator Sanders; YOU are out of touch (opinion piece)

393. Actually, they do have a better social justice platform

It shows in the fact tht those of us most in need of social justice chose democrats. I am not making it about personal victimization. Self victimization is more of a problem. Many said similar things to me, implying that the color of their skin would sheild them from harm, however poor they were. They are wrong, as you are.
Trump thinks us black folks live on hell street and that mexicans are poor criminals. Who is there left to exploit besides those of us who look like you?

Clinton took the time to understand our mindset and connect with us. It doesnt matter of she was perfect or if her policy was merely equal to his or of white people think his was better for black people. If you guys could simply stop thinking and saying out loud that you know what is best for us black folks that would show you respect us to know whats best for ourselves. We are not children. We liked her proposals better whether you liked them better or not. We chose. Our choice was never respected. People tried to overturn the results because we made our choice collectively and in such high numbers. We found that hurtful.

Progressives on his side try to turn everything into a rich poor dynamic and begin to ignore the things that we are saying to them. It is not just the rich that harm us. Clinton was preferred by us. Accept that and move on. Find a better candidate.
