Please do not reply to the latest race baiting. It's so ugly. Let it sink.

So now, here on DU, someone is actually saying that Sanders launched his presidential run now because there is a black president.

No, I'm not kidding. They have sunk that low. The Black Men for Bernie vans must have rattled someone pretty bad to try to say Bernie would actually run for president because he's a racist.

Fuck that. Don't give it any credibility. It doesn't deserve any.

Shows they have zero principles to stand on. They just support the status quo or whoever is paying them. Wish they weren't such nasty human beings though.

It reveals far more about the poster, in my view, than it could about Sanders.

When any politician is losing on the issues, it is easier to distract and demonize than it is to respond to the real issues of competence, credibility, and consistency.

actually waited to run against Obama. Bernie Sanders of course is not running against Obama but against the person whose intention was that Obama not become President of the United States in 2008, Hillary Clinton.

It has little to do with the last election and more to do with the waltzing of hillary with no competition, like she was a sitting president herself.

She needed a good strong foil so she would be forced to actually have some answers to PROGRESSIVE question.
