Bravo! beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #29

Bernie's focus is primarily on economic justice. DanTex Aug 2015 #36

I do not have the time to go rumnmaging through the Internets archives again Armstead Aug 2015 #41

No need to rummage. DanTex Aug 2015 #45

True Armstead Aug 2015 #48

No, it's not that sharp, and no Hillary isn't a single-minded pusher of racial justice. DanTex Aug 2015 #49

I don't believe you actually know what Bernie's focus is. As something of a Bernie Fanboy, I can Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #79

I hate to point out the OP's views of LGBT activists seeking equality, but I will for you: Bluenorthwest Aug 2015 #50

Does that, somehow, diminish my point? ... 1StrongBlackMan Aug 2015 #54

Well, the OP has a long, strong history of that nature. What she says there is the opposite of Bluenorthwest Aug 2015 #61

I think you are grinding an ax here ... 1StrongBlackMan Aug 2015 #64

Bottom line: Bernie's record on racial justice is better than Clinton's. Vattel Aug 2015 #51

People of color don't seem to think so. And they are who matters in this context. Nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #67

I know many POC who do think so. And they are correct. Vattel Aug 2015 #69

Your one off experiences are not what matter. Nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #70

And "weaponizing" is the new way of saying playing a "race card" which got too bettyellen Aug 2015 #66

Exactly. Look at the folks applauding that OP. Were any of them a surprise to you? Number23 Aug 2015 #68

That's exactly what it is. nt Bobbie Jo Aug 2015 #84
