Watched this on the livestream and could not believe my eyes. A WHITE man wearing a Black Lives Matter hoodie interrupted a black councilwoman, saying he wants to see more "real" black leaders because the assmelbed folk don't count as they're wearing suits, leather jackets, and jewelry. I am not making this shit up. He then SNATCHED the mic from her and started running around shouting. The brother of Eric Logan, the guy who got killed in that police shooting in July, had to hold him back. One black lady had sufficient and stood up to whoop his white devil ass with a cane.
He continued to interrupt the black residents of South Bend (he doesn't live in South Bend) who were talking about Pete's accomplishments there, saying Pete doesn't offer true reparations and that he doesn't offer free healthcare. When the pastor from one of the largest black churches in South Bend started speaking, he yelled that religion should be kept out of politics.
And the kicker? The protesters ate the free food that was there for the reporters and the guests! Fucking unbelievable.

Pete's comms director has called out Bernie directly, because this was truly outrageous behaviour. The reporters are now calling it out as well.

He said that he wanted to hear from a “real black woman.” This same white man sat in my office earlier this year waxing about his excitement to start a small business to get involved in South Bend’s comeback story. Not a joke. So he is free to enjoy and profit off South Bend’s growth, the moment a black woman begins to tell her story, he grabs the mic and calls her “fake.” This is privilege and hypocrisy.

Targeting Black Americans, Russia's IRA Exploited Racial Wounds
A new report documents how Russian online propaganda had a much more sustained, deliberate focus on black Americans.
In late 2017, it was first reported by CNN that the pro-Kremlin enterprise masterminded a plot to infiltrate online communities of the Black Lives Matter movement. But New Knowledge’s report, released Monday, shows a much more sustained and purposeful focus on black Americans—as the IRA went about instigating mistrust in law enforcement and political institutions, while cultivating seemingly authentic narratives of black pride.
by Anonymous | reply 57 | December 5, 2019 3:46 AM |
A new attitude has swept American politics. Candidates have discovered that is easier to be elected by not offending anyone rather than by impressing the voters. Politicians are rushing for the center, careful not to stick their necks out on issues. Most Democrats shy away from the word “liberal” like a horrid accusation. Republican presidential hopeful George W. Bush uses the centrist rhetoric of “compassionate conservatism” while Pat Buchanan, once considered a mainstream Republican, has been driven off the ideological edge of the G.O.P. Just as film producers shoot different endings and let test audiences select the most pleasing, some candidates run “test platforms” through sample groups to see which is most likely to win before they speak out on major issue. This disturbing trend reveals cynicism, a double-sided problem, which is perhaps, the greatest threat to the continued success of the American political system.
Cynical candidates have developed an ability to outgrow their convictions in order to win power. Cynical citizens have given up on the election process, going to the polls at one of the lowest rates in the democratic world. Such an atmosphere inevitably distances our society from its leadership and is thus a fundamental threat to the principles of democracy. It also calls into question what motivates a run for office – in many cases, apparently, only the desire to occupy it. Fortunately for the political process, there remain a number of committed individuals who are steadfast enough in their beliefs to run for office to benefit their fellow Americans. Such people are willing to eschew political and personal comfort and convenience because they believe they can make a difference. One outstanding and inspiring example of such integrity is the country’s only Independent Congressman, Vermont’s Bernie Sanders.
Sanders’ courage is evident in the first word he uses to describe himself: “Socialist”. In a country where Communism is still the dirtiest of ideological dirty words, in a climate where even liberalism is considered radical, and Socialism is immediately and perhaps willfully confused with Communism, a politician dares to call himself a socialist? He does indeed. Here is someone who has “looked into his own soul” and expressed an ideology, the endorsement of which, in today’s political atmosphere, is analogous to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Even though he has lived through a time in which an admitted socialist could not act in a film, let alone hold a Congressional seat, Sanders is not afraid to be candid about his political persuasion.

In a country where Communism is still the dirtiest of ideological dirty words, in a climate where even liberalism is considered radical, and Socialism is immediately and perhaps willfully confused with Communism, a politician dares to call himself a socialist? He does indeed. Here is someone who has “looked into his own soul” and expressed an ideology, the endorsement of which, in today’s political atmosphere, is analogous to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Even though he has lived through a time in which an admitted socialist could not act in a film, let alone hold a Congressional seat, Sanders is not afraid to be candid about his political persuasion.
After numerous political defeats in his traditionally Republican state, Sanders won the office of mayor of Burlington by ten votes. A successful and popular mayor, he went on to win Vermont’s one Congressional seat in 1990. Since then, he has taken many courageous and politically risky stands on issues facing the nation. He has come under fire from various conservative religious groups because of his support for same-sex marriages. His stance on gun control led to NRA-organized media campaigns against him. Sanders has also shown creativity in organizing drug-shopping trips to Canada for senior citizens to call attention to inflated drug prices in the United States.
While impressive, Sanders’ candor does not itself represent political courage. The nation is teeming with outspoken radicals in one form or another. Most are sooner called crazy than courageous. It is the second half of Sanders’ political role that puts the first half into perspective: he is a powerful force for conciliation and bi-partisanship on Capitol Hill. In Profiles in Courage, John F. Kennedy wrote that “we should not be too hasty in condemning all compromise as bad morals. For politics and legislation are not matters for inflexible principles or unattainable ideals.” It may seem strange that someone so steadfast in his principles has a reputation as a peacemaker between divided forces in Washington, but this is what makes Sanders truly remarkable. He represents President Kennedy’s ideal of “compromises of issues, not of principles.”
Sanders has used his unique position as the lone Independent Congressman to help Democrats and Republicans force hearings on the internal structure of the International Monetary Fund, which he sees as excessively powerful and unaccountable. He also succeeded in quietly persuading reluctant Republicans and President Clinton to ban the import of products made by under-age workers. Sanders drew some criticism from the far left when he chose to grudgingly endorse President Clinton’s bids for election and re-election as President. Sanders explained that while he disagreed with many of Clinton’s centrist policies, he felt that he was the best option for America’s working class.

Sanders’ positions on many difficult issues are commendable, but his real impact has been as a reaction to the cynical climate which threatens the effectiveness of the democratic system. His energy, candor, conviction, and ability to bring people together stand against the current of opportunism, moral compromise, and partisanship which runs rampant on the American political scene. He and few others like him have the power to restore principle and leadership in Congress and to win back the faith of a voting public weary and wary of political opportunism.

The brother of Eric Logan, the guy who got killed in that police shooting in July, had to hold him back. One black lady had sufficient and stood up to whoop his white devil ass with a cane.
That should be set to music

It wasn't long ago that I saw a thread of people on Twitter defending Zuckerberg with the usual "he worked hard and is entitled to be a billionaire spying on citizens with his social media platform" and there were tons of self-identified Sanders supporters. It was the craziest thing I've seen. Some of them had tweets about taxing the billionaires on the same day they were saying Zuckerberg was a good man who didn't deserve to be taxed.
I honestly don't know if they were stupid or trolls. You just can't tell anymore.

Add this to the already huge pile of evidence that the whole Bernie Sanders phenomenon is built on populist demagoguery and a cult of personality. It is just as dangerous and pernicious as the Trump cult.
If, God forbid, Bernie Sanders is the nominee I will not vote for him. As a registered Democrat, I will not “hold my nose” and vote for someone I consider to be dangerous for America.

I don’t believe ANY of these self-identified BLM and/or Bernie supporters are real Democrats or Progressives, and the more their faux protests are feebly used to smear BLM and Bernie, the more I’m convinced these are paid/unpaid Republican stooges.

BLM had a commendable initial goal of ending police brutality against Black people. But intersectionality is a form of Marxism and has been pernicious everywhere it's applied. The ones behind this protest, especially the woman with the star and sickle in her Twitter profile, don't want incremental reform or reform at all. They want to divide, create chaos, make things worse and bring about violence, as they are Marxists. Down the road, out of the ruins, a just society will emerge. They use others to get this. I'm not sure if Bernie is in on the con. I know he's a Marxist. But he may just think he can use them. That looks like a mistake on his part.

The far-left behaves and think like Marxist thugs. It’s in their DNA to think in terms of black and white, either you’re all the way with us or you’re not. If you’re not then you are deemed dangerous or lesser, and deserve to be punished or have your voices taken. It’s happened when leftists had ruled without opposition such as in Soviet Union, China, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam, etc, most recently on display in South America. Stalin’s purge in SU and Cultural Revolution in China were not anomalies, they were emblematic of leftist philosophy and ways of operating/ governing.
Bernie bros are not true Dems, they’re leeches who somehow successfully wormed their ways into the party with plans of taking over. Why the party let Bernie run as Dem and placate extremist bros is beyond me.

I agree, R112. If Trump and Sanders are on the ballot in November, my view is "let the biggest asshole win." I will not vote for president. It's not even revenge for Bernie Bros' disgusting behavior either. I don't believe in cults. We have a cult in office now, and with Bernie, it'll be a cult on the other side of the aisle. Thanks but no thanks.

Hate Bernie and his rabid cult but I would still vote for him if he’s the nominee. It’s about more than the office of president to me, it’s the appointment of judges and the cabinet as well. Trump has already stacked the courts with repub judges and fucked things up for decades.

Anyone who is attempting to divide Liberals, be it Russians, Trump supporters, or other Liberals is not working in our best interests. We are falling into their trap when we fall for their tricks. No one can be sure who it behind this but you can be sure their attempt to divide us is not in our best interest. Getting angry with other progressive candidates is their trap, don't fall for it. Support who ever it is you support and don't fall for the hate.

In real life, he got elected twice, so some blacks must have voted for him. But there are black trolls on twitter that take apart everything he says or does and turn it against him.
Example from today, three former Obama staffers endorsed Pete. Black twitter: they are wrong, how dare they, now I will never vote for him! Just the fact that these people endorsed him means they are bad and so is he!
It never occurs to them that these are intelligent people, and if they can’t understand why they endorsed him, why not read their statements or check it out? Instead, it’s, he’s the corporate candidate and some of these people got jobs in the corporate world after Obama, so that proves Pete is the candidate being pushed by corporations. And they claim these people are trying to get jobs with the “sure thing,” Pete.
WTF? If they want jobs, wouldn’t they endorse Biden? He’s the front runner and they worked in the same administration. Just makes no sense.

R64, not really. Bernie identified as socialist while being senator of Vermont, one of the bluest states in the country. That's like saying "Marco Rubio was brave to run as a Cuban Senator in Florida in a country that is .0001% Cuban".

R129 I would say Pete’s team is obviously distressed and that there is more to this situation than meets the eye.
I find it very telling that the “protesters” basically repeated what Pete said in an interview a few years back regarding the lack of role models for minorities and for which he was heavily criticized a week ago...
But, though these protesters’ stance does not align with Bernie’s or even BLM, we are supposed to believe that they are supporters of both because they wore clothing indicating so...?
Hm. I’m sorry but I’m not buying it, ESPECIALLY since it’s being used to smear Bernie and his supporters rather than to have a real discussion on race.

Which is pretty lame and reminiscent of Trump's "on many sides" statement after Charlottesville. It follows the same tactic of feeble discouragement that Trump uses to say the bare minimum, which his supporters take as a coded message of approval.
Hell, two thirds of the Sanders Campaign statement was about distracting from the tiny part of it that actually offered a generic sentence about disrupting campaign events.
The statement doesn't even appear on the @BernieSanders twitter feed or campaign website. It's only on his campaign manager's personal twitter feed, which has fewer than 54k followers (compared to @BernieSanders 10.1 million followers).

Truth be told, neither is Bernie.

Ever since the last software update, I’ve had a lot of issues with weird spellings like that. I’ve had words broken up into three fragments that don’t resemble the original word at all, it’s very frustrating. I have to re-type some of my posts over and over, because if one letter isn’t typed correctly, spell check just rips it apart into fragments.
I’m not that poster, by the way.
It’s also capitalizing words I insert into the middle of a sentence randomly, and doesn’t seem to recognize easily misspelled common words. It’s like the spellcheck doesn’t work any more.
