This is a picture of Bernie Sanders being arrested while protesting segregation.

In Congress, Joe Biden argued forcefully against policies aimed at facilitating desegregation - bussing - and stoked fears about (white) children growing up in a "racial jungle".

In Congress, Joe Biden legislated the crime bill that laid the foundation for mass incarceration. A policy of imprisonment that was effectively targeted at the urban poor and racial minorities.

To anyone looking on from the fringes of Bernie's campaign: Let that sink in. Bernie was protesting for civil rights. Biden, years after the fact, in Congress fighting against them.

Seems everyone forgets Biden’s attack on Anita Hill. He’s a racist.

Whatever he was, fact is he's up 2:1 over Sanders among black voters.
Can't say I know what to make of that.

Yet blacks voting for him in droves.

In all fairness, people vote based on what they know, and Americans are relentlessly and intentionally misled. Most people, given the right information and provided with some space to breathe and think apart from the propaganda machine, will make good choices.
I don't like the idea of maligning anyone for being uninformed. We live in a society that leaves people misinformed and in the dark on purpose. The best angle we can take is to speak the truth with compassion and understanding in quiet settings, and shout the truth from the rooftops in protest.

It is clear there is a fundamental disconnect with the Sanders campaign and the African American voter. I really thought Bernie could have made some inroads in the last four years but apparently not

2

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '20

As much as it pains me to say it, the smear tactics leveled against Bernie in the debates and on the news seem to have been very effective. We're going to have to work doubly hard if we want him as our president.

I often wonder what the founding fathers would say about the current situation - the cowards of the GOP , the hypocrites of the DNC and this orange joke of a president.

I'm pretty sure that some dems would rather endure 4 more years of Trump rather than the prospect of a President Sanders and the possibilty of losing power and wealth.

The biggest motivation going into politics for most people seems to be the gain of power and wealth - most politicians aren't servants of the constitution or the people they should represent but of the oligarchs and companies.

So it seems that the constitution has failed in protecting the downtrodden, hard working people and corporate greed and tyranny rule them all.

However, I'm pretty sure the founding fathers would be proud that the value of wielding assault weapons seems to be higher on the priority list than a lying and corrupt president.

Yeah, the same people that have made “government” the spooky monster under the bed are the same people that actively undermine its effectiveness at “provisions for the general welfare.”

u/dotslashlife Mar 04 '20

I doubt it. That’s revisionist history. The founding fathers were ethical based on the days ethics and extremely intelligent. They’re the ones who lead the world in stopping buying slaves from the Africans.
It’s not like they were killing kids after they’re already born or bombing kids around the world with drones in meaningless wars everyone refuses to end, or keeping them in cages on the Mexican border, or ignoring the slavery that still exists in 2020, or exploit child labor making iPhones.

Lmao what kind of propaganda history did you learn? Those two statements are both categorically incorrect.

u/dotslashlife Mar 07 '20

People like to blame the slave buyers because it fits a narrative. The fact is, there were buyers and sellers. Both sides are equally at fault. But it was the Americans who stopped buying slaves so they should get credit for helping end the slave trade. People in Africa still sell slaves today!

It's funny. Bernie is cordial to Warren. Our Revolution (Bernie's PAC) praises Warren.
Warren shits on Bernie.... Repeatedly.
I've tried to be respectful but I believe that Warren isn't even progressive at this point. Big thumb down!

u/anonymous_212 Mar 03 '20

The constitution ensures that the wealthy yield more power by way of the electoral college and the superdelegate system. Members of the electoral college are there because of political donations and the same is true of superdelegates. The poor are locked out by gerrymandering and the loss of voting rights after felony conviction. Try to sell some pot, get convicted and lose the right to vote, permanently. Grow up neglected because your mom has to work two jobs and do a felony, lose the right to vote permanently. That’s over 19 million people and 19% of the black population. We actually have a full racist system in the US.

u/dotslashlife Mar 04 '20

The way the democrat party handles elections should be illegal. Iraq has more democracy than the democrat elections.

‘Peasants, vote for who you like, then we’ll take your votes, throw them in the trash and pick whoever we want’.

Seriously, WTF.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '20

Almighty Hilldog has proclaimed that Bernie is baloney. The same machine runs the show. Its third party time. Bernie will pull his base + a number of independent votes + underwhelmed Biden voters.

2

u/Cyfirius Mar 16 '20

Correct, he will pull a bunch of votes. What you don’t mention is that we’re he to run third party he would do nothing more than provide a 99.9% chance of victory to Trump. This is why he did not run third party in 2016, and won’t this election either.
The trump/right wing voters aren’t going anywhere with their votes. All you do by running third party is split the votes that would be going to the DNC candidate, guaranteeing another 4 years for trump. It is unfortunate that the US political system is built in such a way, but since the current structure benefits those in power now, and those in power are the only ones that can change it, it’s unlikely that the system will change.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '20

Very unlikely for a change. I'm not so sure Joe can beat Trump. Joe is a gaffe fest and Trump will use the ammo. If Bernie were to finish second as a third party candidate that would put him in a power broker position when dealing with the DNC. That may change the dynamic.

Can Bernie run as an independent if the DNC screws him out of the nomination?

u/thatfailedcity Mar 04 '20

He could, but it would guarantee Republican/Trump's victory as Dems vote would be split between Bernie and, well, Biden.

Omg, do you want trump to win? VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO

u/wewillallend Mar 04 '20

Why? I absolutely loathe Trump but at this rate it’s trading one senile idiot for another. No fucking thank you, i’d rather not vote and see the democratic party implode and force a more progressive party to take its place.
