it was always a farce, remember PUMA?So, all these years of the drumbeat of "untiy. untiy. unity" and "vote blue no matter who" was a farce?

Wow. If there was something done decades ago I wouldn't forgive this is one of them. I wonder how much of the black community is aware of this. It's something I'll have to bring up when my parents speak fondly of the Clintons again because this shit is really bad.Reminder that the Clinton's literally used black slave labour at the Arkansas governors house since it was a long standing Arkansas tradition (wonder how that tradition came about huh)

Uh yeah it is true.
The Bernie voters who defected to Trump, explained by a political scientist
A new study found that about 12 percent of Sanders voters from the primary supported Trump in the general election.www.vox.com
12-13% of bernie primary supporters went trump. A whopping 25% of hillary primary supporters ended up going McCain in the GE.
Time and time again, her and her stans have been exposed as being racist, transphobic, etc.
Hillary is the only transphobe you can stan and not get banned for on this site.I don't like Tulsi and am not a fan of her, but can you imaging the reaction here and on Twitter if Tulsi did and said half the stuff that Hillary does? If Tulsi was cozy and enabled rapists, was bff with war criminals and was constantly throwing shades at other candidates, hinting that she wouldn't support the nominee in the GE, had a superpredators comment etc.?
The personality cult surrounding Hillary is so incredibly strange.
Centrist dems (pretty much all elected dems right now) are committed to capitalism and are bankrolled by corporations and billionaires. Bernie isnt and his goals conflict with theirs.
Hillary Clinton isn't ready to say if she'd endorse Bernie Sanders in a potential Bernie vs Trump election. That's fucked up.So fervent Bernie supporters want Hillary Clinton to endorse Bernie in a hypothetical general with him as the nominee, but actually, or is it more about the "implication" of her not endorsing Bernie in the general and then extrapolating from there?
Considering the very first one I read said "Before the primary debate"...I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're being purposefully obfuscatory.
Well since we don't have a time machine and it was signed 26 years ago, there's not much good in debating decoupling elements of it after the fact. As I said, I greatly dislike that bill for the elements that crippled black communities for an entire generation—likely multiple generations. I'm just not so naive as to say somehow Sanders holding up his nose and voting for it despite knowing it would cause irreparable harm is somehow noble.
The reality is, Congress has had those 26 years to make sweeping changes and have failed to do so. They shoulder that blame and should be judged accordingly. We need effective and transformational criminal justice reform, and it needs to be done in a way that helps revitalize the communities bills like the 94 Crime Bill devastated. Unfortunately despite it being a clear failure, we haven't seen any major legislation to undo the horrible effects of the bill. Hipefully 2021 will be the year we see a new Crime Bill that unfucks the criminal justice system.
I support Biden for a single reason: I think he has the best chances of getting that r****** out of office. That said, my sympathies are with Warren. But not Bernie.
Holy fuck at the sheer volume of people agreeing with her in this thread.
Hillary Clinton is an unpopular, disgusting pile of garbage. The Clintons cozied up with Trump, Epstein, Weinstein...she even tried to get Ronan Farrow to shut down his investigation of Weinstein as documented in his book.
If these associations ALONE had come out against ANYONE ELSE, they would be raked over the coals like Tulsi Gabbard is here for much, much more ambiguous shady connections.

This isn't and has never been a complete look at the data. 538 has a quarter of Sanders primary voters not voting in the election (either voting 3rd party, abstaining, etc). I'm not saying Clinton had a right to those votes, but the break down is startling.Uh yeah it is true.

i legit don't understand how Bernie is absolutely loved by a ton of people, yet hated by those in his party so much. Is it because he is one of the few actually full on progressives or what? He seems to be a career politician because he's not only fighting vs the Republicans but his own party as well.
She has no political legacy. No one is really saying "I am a Clinton Democrat".
But... he wasen't part of the campaign.Yeah but why choose someone to be your voice that was so damning to the Democratic party. Sirota made sure to retweet that garbage near election day.
And he was pulling the same shit on Beto a year ago. Disingenuous selection of quotes and narratives.
Wait whatBernie's faults: Doesn't speak to people of color.
Hilary's virtues: Speaks to transwomen, to tell them they're not real women.
I wonder what the PoliERA reaction would be if AOC made some statements of her own spitting truth about Hilary being a TERF.
Time and time again, her and her stans have been exposed as being racist, transphobic, etc.Uh yeah it is true.

Bernie does need Clinton's endorsement because she has a group of loyalists who blame him for her loss and likely would stay home if he's the nominee. But also, it's actually not great to have someone w/ so much influence in the party saying this about a potential candidate.So fervent Bernie supporters want Hillary Clinton to endorse Bernie in a hypothetical general with him as the nominee, but actually, or is it more about the "implication" of her not endorsing Bernie in the general and then extrapolating from there?
He tends to frame things from a white working class perspective. Not that he literally refuses to speak to PoC.
Yeah but why choose someone to be your voice that was so damning to the Democratic party. Sirota made sure to retweet that garbage near election day.
Okay, was wondering what the hell that was about. I'm not a fan of how Sanders does that, but that's a bit different from "Doesn't speak to people of color".He tends to frame things from a white working class perspective. Not that he literally refuses to speak to PoC.
Not sure that's true; US Secretaries of State build up phenomenal body counts!Even if he doesn't become the nominee, he will have had more of an impact on politics than her.
I have great news everyone
You are not forced to read articles, posts, threads or even HULU EXCLUSIVE interviews with politicians you don't like.
And you're not forced to cape for slave owners
Crazy how internet forums work
So you found one legitimate one out of the half dozen you spammed into your post?
Did Sirota even work for Bernie in 2016? I honestly don't know. I do know that he's a journalist and that looks like a legit news story.

Can you show me stanning for slave owners?
I would really like to know if I've been stanning for personally defending slave ownership.
You don't need to read it. These things are influencing from headlines alone. Do you think the people who voted for Trump in 2016 because Facebook articles said Hillary promised to take their guns away actually read those articles?I have great news everyone
You are not forced to read articles, posts, threads or even HULU EXCLUSIVE interviews with politicians you don't like.
Lol if we're taking this route shouldn't you stay out of AOC and Sanders topics?I have great news everyone
You are not forced to read articles, posts, threads or even HULU EXCLUSIVE interviews with politicians you don't like.
Some were written near the election, but all were retweeted by Sirota the day before the election.
All I'm saying is that I can understand why Hillary would hold a grudge against sanders if he surrounds himself with these people to be his voice. You want see what a good Democrat does after losing a primary? Look at Beto's Twitter, he is constantly campaigning for other Democrats.
what a crazy new way to look at things. nobody regularly posting on a discussion forum had considered this. empowered by this new perspective, we can move forward by only posting about public figures that we personally like.I have great news everyone

You're not at all, friend. You're correct
so, would it be possible for that old guard to even topple at this point? Let's assume Bernie wins the nomination and the presidency, would that change anything? Or would it just make centrist dems and repubs dig in even further since they would likely grid-lock the movement of any bills? Are there any young dems that could push this movement forward? Aoc?the shorthand version is that the dem party is "big tent" party which means a bunch of people who aren't conservative enough to be a full on republican are in the same party with progressives and the schism behind the folks who just wanna "hold the line" and try to restore the norms before trump and folks pushing for leftism is getting wider and wider
even if somehow folks "unified" behind a candidate for 2020, this isnt going away and if bernie somehow wins the presidency a lot of the old guard wont be happy.
which imo needs to happen
You aren't forced to keep track of anything. Including Trump's tweets. Of course, refusing to pay attention to it does not by any stretch of the definition render it nonexistent. This post of yours is very silly.I have great news everyone
