days ago is blogger, Nancy Letourneau of Horizons in case any of you didn't know. Someone on the DU OP of the same name from two days ago posted this information.
The critical OP piece suggesting Bernie isn't race conscious or is racist on May 28 has generated much discussion in defense of his impeccable, long history of Civil Rights work and involvement with issues of benefit to PoC.
Regardless, there are now posters on several OPs saying Bernie failed PoC in his announcement speech, esp. compared to Hillary's, and that people are taking criticism of him too seriously. OR, they're claiming that racism was never implied, which is Gaslighting.
The word 'optics', as in Bernie's Burlington crowd being not diverse and too white, and other terms like 'St. Bernard', 'political Neophyte' and the old 'idealist' vs. 'realist' are being used heavily, suggesting a good bit of coordination by the participants. Welcome to the Road to Primaries!
*NL now has a new blogpost in defense of Too Big To Fail Banks & how they shouldn't be broken up. Things make a lot more sense in light of this information.
