So Let Me Get This Straight....

[JaneyVee]

Hillary has overwhelmingly won black voters both men and women, latino voters both men and women, Asian voters both men and women, white women, unions, civil rights icons, gun control groups, environmental groups, lgbt groups, and damn near every other demographic in America, but she's supposed to pander and bend to the will of white men who are threatening to not vote for her?

Hillary is already unifying the party and base.

1. Ayup! They lost, they need to get on board or go away.

I don't really care which.

[JaneyVee]

12. All Im saying is...

Demographics show her overwhelmingly winning the votes of people who are typically marginalized and disenfranchised, yet its not good enough for a certain demographic who controls the entire societal hierarchy. They need more pandering?

[monmouth4]

45. Most of us are going away but I'm glad you don't care...n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. I saw the deleted post. WoW

[JaneyVee]

4. Ya GOTTA let us know what was said.

[NurseJackie]

7. +1

[boston bean]

5. What did it say!? PM me if necessary!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. DONE

My response was deleted because that's what happens when you respond to a post that is in the process of being deleted.

[JaneyVee]

16. WOWZA.

[Codeine]

18. I miss all the good stuff.

[Surya Gayatri]

28. Me, too. Always the last to know...LOL!

[mcar]

6. That's it

All perfectly logical!

[Tarc]

8. Yep, I agree with the sentiment in a post a moment ago

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511789214

I think people need to realize that the country is shifting.

9. I will never support a criminal oligarch.

And Bernie has a very diverse coalition. He is inclusive. Except for the 1 per cent, because they are our enemies. We don't need more Goldman Sachs criminals in the federal government.

[JaneyVee]

14. Sorry, but "inclusive" doesnt include purity tests...

And us vs them mentality. That is the definition of exclusive.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

20. Every campaign I have ever seen has an us-them mentality. It's the nature of politics.

And where is the purity test? Many people support Bernie because of personal tragedy. Whether is a vet who was used by the American war machine or a person who was financially wiped out by catastrophic illness. That is why Bernie has had unprecedented success despite every institutional disadvantage, because the American people are getting less and less happy about their living conditions over time. Oligarchy is unsustainable.

I was born a Democrat, but I will not die one unless Bernie succeeds. The Democratic Party is literally creating financial problems for my family and many others.

[KittyWampus]

33. Many people support Sanders because of his angry rhetoric and empty promises.

You may have been "born a Democrat" but your posts read as if you simply decided to show up and vote every so often and not participate in the real world of party politics.

Because if you had engaged in the democratic process at the grass roots, you'd know it's a long hard slog and requires patience and COALITION BUILDING.

Ideologues have no political party. Being an outsider enables them to whinge and point fingers and never do the actual WORK required. Like Sanders, he's a perfect example. No real solutions.

38. +1

11. White conservative men aren't the only ones losing "their country" apparently.

The privilege all extended to white progressive men too, in fact. And obviously they're just as upset about losing it as their right-wing counterparts.

Sanders-sanctioned misogyny and bigotry has reduced the Left to a shameful version of its former self.

And yes, women Sanders supporters and minority Sanders supporters, you ARE part of it, by not standing against it. You're Peter Parker letting the robber run by you without action, so he can kill your Uncle Ben later on in the movie. You're the opposite of Batman. (Just to keep it balanced between DC and Marvel, and throw in a Community reference.) There would not be a space for such commentary by some Sanders supporters if every other Sanders supporter wasn't silently allowing it to happen on a regular basis, or worse, upvoting it at every opportunity.

[NCTraveler]

13. "but she's supposed to pander and bend to the will of white men who are threatening to not vote for"

It is a centuries old demand. The current revolution being undertaken by women and minorities no longer stands for that old school bullshit.

[casperthegm]

15. And yet...

Polls clearly shows that Sanders would do better in the general election vs Trump and Cruz. Perhaps this is because 40% of voters are now independent. You know, those guys that the party in many states feels they should exclude from being able to participate in primaries?

[Broward]

17. Right-wing Hillary has unified the establishment and moneyed interests.

Disappointing to see so many fall for the complete fraud that is Hillary.

[JaneyVee]

19. Yes, all those moneyed interests in Mississippi et al.

[Surya Gayatri]

21. Bro-blesse oblige...after all, it IS the white man's burden to bring edification to

the less enlightened.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

22. Clever, quite clever...

You win the internet today

[Surya Gayatri]

26. I'm glad somebody appreciated it! LOL! I LOVE word play...

[HillareeeHillaraah]

34. I do too!

Great sport !

[Lucinda]

23. KNR

[LexVegas]

24. Young white males haz a sad. nt

[Codeine]

29. The reddit rage will be relentless. nt

[DisgustipatedinCA]

25. If you say so, JaneyVee.

[whatchamacallit]

27. Nope, her destiny is to betray those demos for the rich white men who purchased her

[apcalc]

30. What I sometimes think

Is that those who have probably experienced some kind of discrimination firsthand , multiple times, be they women or people of color and certain other groups of males , vote for Hillary in droves.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

31. My wife is a white woman who won't vote for her.

And, Hillary doesn't have to "bend to her will" or please her.

I admit I'm white and male. I was born that way.

[KittyWampus]

37. Then your wife must not care about Reproductive Rights among many other issues

Ideological purity- self centered and ultimately intellectually lazy.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

39. No. She's a woman who doesn't vote based on gender and plans to vote

for a woman in 2016 just like she did in 2012. She's progressive woman and feminist who has supported reproductive rights, equal pay, etc. She's also a Socialist but not an ideologue.

She's far from self-centered and is intellectual enough to see that the system is corrupt and refuses to go along with the crowd of purists that demand she sell out her beliefs and principles for a corrupt candidate because she has a (D) after her name.

[whatchamacallit]

42. What do you think you're doing?

Don't you know you're supposed to let random internet people disparage your wife?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

43. Meh. By the same people who get the vapors when we scrutinize their candidate.

[quickesst]

32. As one honest Bernie supporter put it...

... if it weren't for women and POC, Bernie would win in a landslide.
I have no idea what possessed this person to say that.

[AgingAmerican]

35. Good luck winning a general election after driving out white male votes

Keep trying to drive us out of the party.

Apparently snark and condescension doesn't come with an 'Off' switch...

[uponit7771]

40. Yeah, that's progressive.. have a temper tantrum because they have to share power...

... not

[AgingAmerican]

41. We are told repeatedly by Hillary supporters that male white votes are not needed by her

Same with the millennial vote. We are told over and over that our votes are not wanted. Is this true of you too?

Does arrogance and condescension come with an off switch, or is it a permanent condition?

[uponit7771]

44. This is false

[uponit7771]

36. There it is then
