EXCUSE ME?!..The OFFICIAL Bernie Sanders For President 2016 Thread
- Thread starter schuylaar
- Start date
I'm down .
and second most universally hated is Clinton..but let's still vote for her.
more like polite.
and that's the sad part..gentlemen candidate is no longer en vogue..people want bloody altercations which is another reason why trump is so popular..this is a world of cage matches, kardashians and not knowing if your kindergartener is coming home.
our priorities are really fucked up.
lockdown?
he doesn't know us very well.in the last 40 years we've gone from nuclear family to working 2-3 jobs to survive..this is now the new norm..how many generations does this effect? if you've never had it you don't know what you're missing..I remember a time when you could work one job on minimum wage, pay your bills and have money leftover..those under age 50 cannot. means of production has slowly shifted the tax burden (the double whammy) on to those who are working 2-3 jobs because they already have taken you away from the 40 hour work week and surely if you work 2-3 you will find a 4th soes you can eat at Ruby Tuesday wit da white folk.<schuylaar's shuck in' and jivin'>
Bernies message is, its NOT normal,even though they (MOP) having you believing it because you were BORN into it..again a type of Stockholm Syndrome in which you identify with your captors..means of production.
one thing I disagree with on her commentary, is that no matter what color including white..if you have no close family, friends..you have NO safety net in this country..if there is no one to help you, you are shit out of luck..not everyone has a granny or auntie and even if they do, those people are struggling too.
I've posted this government statistic before, a single person NEEDS $29k for basic SURVIVAL in the US.
Rather than taking means of production/special interest to task and forcing a higher wage we've resigned ourselves to lower wages and several jobs because it was the easier of the two..now MOP is running amok..we didn't fight, we took the easy way out and let them have Carte Blanche in Washington and resigning ourselves to 'this is the way it is'.
this is why I stand with Sanders and will continue to do so..it MUST stop somewhere. are we going wait another 8 years of mediocrity? that's a whole other generation that will end up accepting the way things are..again.
when did we lose the fight in us?
this is tough love men..we MUST repair the broken system..if not NOW..WHEN?

Clinton Distorted the Truth About Sanders Vote for Auto Bailout
unfortunately, the distortion is what they hear and remember.

Bernie actually said When you’re white, you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto. You don’t know what it’s like to be poor.
I disagree. I'm sure we have white people who knows what it is like to be poor. . I'm sure that we have white people living in the ghetto.
Category / Number in poverty / Poverty rate
Americans of all races / 46.7 million / 14.8 percent
White / 19.7 million / 10.1 percent
African-American / 10.8 million / 26.2 percent
Hispanic / 13.1 million / 23.6 percent

Bernie is just wrong when he says whites are not poor

the question was 'what is your racial blind spot'? to which neither Clinton or sanders really answered .
in my opinion it was from an economic standpoint as in the context of what his overall message is..by and large the billionaire class (white people) have no idea what it's like to walk in a minorities shoes..there are way more middle and upper middle class whites that have not a clue either..there is no empathy for the have-nots this is the justification in their minds for not paying fair share of taxes.
blacks are viewed as lazy in general which is incorrect..see 'welfare queen' comment Ronald Reagan..another justification by wealthy whites.
I commented a while ago on how all poor people are financially taken advantage by whites..check cashing store..pawn shop..bank charging $8 to cash a payroll check etc..prices keep going up everywhere but wages are stagnant..want more money? get another job..because they are born into it it's normal..
slavery was very much this way too..but that didn't make it right, did it?

Bernie's problem with AA voters is quite simple. He can't seem to effectively separate "race" from "class". All of his answers with regards to race, always end up being about an economic solution. And, quite frankly, it makes him come off as tone deaf. He needs to understand that me having all of the money in the world means nothing if my white neighbors don't want me living in the neighborhood.
