(20,450 posts)progressive ideas through. Interesting that they're letting Bernie Sanders slide on this.
So we have to wait until Sanders' second term for him to be able to get anything done.
And another interesting point: He says building a coalition takes time, but again, that same nuanced position was never afforded to Barack Obama. They wanted the president PRIMARIED in 2012, despite all the president's successes. Despite the unprecedented level of obstruction he faced from Republicans and some Democrats---they wanted to ignore all of that and primary the president. They scoffed at any suggestion that racism played a huge role in this--which it did. Instead, these people blamed Obama for everything. Now they want us to support Bernie Sanders after how they've treated this president? Hell no!
Black people haven't forgotten how HRC treated the president in 2008.
But black people also haven't forgotten how Bernie Sanders and his supporters have bashed the president and continue to ridicule the president despite his many successes. Black people don't like that shit, either!
