(36,345 posts)Let's not leave off, highly insulting to the persons who live these experiences, as being described as pretty much pawns in this mass conspiracy they've made up.
It's just a big ole conspiracy they use, and Bernie does to, to try and brush off valid criticism cause they would rather attack those bringing forth the message versus the easier path of just supporting the issues.. Says a lot, if you ask me.
Why not just say you support them and move on.. NO, we gotta have all these conspiracies about how minorities are falling for some big scheme by TPTB to keep us all divided amongst ourselves. Implicit in that argument is that minorities don't know what is good for them, and on top of that don't know how to do social justice right.
Ignore them and let them appear as they appear is about all you can do. You can't help someone who is invested in the conspiracy.
