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

[LiberalLovinLug]

440. That race card you play every day on here is getting frayed

This article is full of outrageous opinion, based on one sided cherry-picking.

Its easy to do:

I can look at things like Hillary being a Goldwater girl while Bernie was marching in MLK led civil rights marches. Do you think his passion and beliefs back then just disappeared?
I can look at things like Hillary supporting her husband's three strikes law and welfare reform which disproportionately hit the black community much harder.


Fact is both candidates have fought for the AA community and each one raised issues on justice reform during the primaries. Both candidates also could have done more in the Senate on that issue and only ramped up their dialogue when black concerns were highlighted by a string of high profile police abuses and crimes against black Americans and the rise of BLM. What is lost in all this re-fighting the primary is that either candidate would have been light years ahead of any Republican winning. And I'm sure either one would have helped the other in working towards solving issues that BLM highlighted, if one of them had won.

This article from an AA publication "The Root" highlights how each had faults and good things about them and leaves it up to black voters to decide:

(Interesting to read the first comment by an African American woman on why she supports Sanders.)

What we should be doing on here is working together. Which means listening to criticism from people like Bernie Sanders and taking it in instead of these relentless childish tantrums every day with poisonous insinuations against Sanders, while there is a real threat on the horizon.

You post these race-baiting divisive OPs on here every day to sow discord just to give yourself and a minority of other bitter angry Hillary supporters a stage to hurl more insults and blame. I guess that makes you feel better? Wake up. The primaries are over. YOU WON!

We have the winners of the primary turning their resentment and anger towards the loser of the primary. By all rights it is Bernie supporters that should be angry at Hillary and her campaign for failing, after Sanders conceded and campaigned for her, and thus giving us Trump. Instead its this bizarro world race-laden diatribe towards the loser of the primary. My gawd I can only imagine if it were reversed and Bernie had won the primaries and then lost the general. What we'd get from Hillary supporters.

Bernie had nothing to do with Hillary losing. In fact he probably got out more of the youth vote for her. Do you honestly think that if Sanders had not run, and her biggest competition was O'Malley, and she swept in with 90% support and won the primary months ahead in a landslide, that she would have done any better against the Republicans and their Crosscheck, their gerrymandering, their polling closures, their fake news, 24/7 hate radio and TV, and their Russian Komrades?
