This groups concerns are not even on the radar with certain folks.


It is becoming clearer and clearer by the day that if Bernie is our next president, he will take LOADS of shit if he doesn't SOLELY focus on improving the finances of a very specific segment of our society.

They will not tolerate him doing anything else, this is now clear to me.

The same way they didn't tolerate Obama improving healthcare because he didn't do single payer and he didn't immediately close Gitmo, etc...the list of reasons why he was no longer supported, is long, but not credible.

So if you have concerns that arent linked to overall Wall Street/financial areas, may have to shelve em for a while.

2. This is quite clear to me. When Bernie is forced to work with a dominant Republican House and Senate

his supporters who were quick to turn their backs against Obama, will do the same to Bernie.

Bernie is even nicer to Republicans and his opponents. If they thought Obama was milquetoast, just wait until Bernie has to compromise and go along to get anything done.

Eyes will be opened.

another white poster chimes in.

6. I sincerely hope That the kind of coalition which would have to form to get Bernie into the Oval office in the first place would counterbalance the dissatisfaction you're talking about.

The dissatisfaction faction is going to howl no matter what.

To them real life, compromise, deal making - these are all signs of impure thought and weak belief.

I hate the Tea Baggers not only because I believe that they are wrong on policy, but also because they demonize their opponents and consider compromise betrayal. That isn't the attitude that you need to sustain Democracy - That is the thinking of Autocracy/Authoritarianism

The Right wing doesn't have a monopoly on that type of thinking, unfortunately.

Of course If Bernie doesn't win the howling, rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth would be deafening.

I pity my poor puppy when I even contemplate the volume of the dog whistles that would be in use.

Peace

10. I pointed out they should not be attacking the Democratic First AfAm Aty Genl but they arent hearing a word of it.

Criticize him sure, he has many flaws, no doubt [him?]

But they just hate him and they dont do nuance very well.

They dont compare him to past and so on.

they realize randy is a big fat rich white guy, right?

Does anyone know how many Whites are at the Black Forum?  Or are they all Rachel Dolezal.

Isn`t identity politics wonderful you cretin.
Split up groups and pander to them all guess what happens,they expect to be rewarded.
The problem is that what benefits one may not another.
