Members DRW50 Posted October 26, 2019 Members Share Posted October 26, 2019 So tired, if not surprised, by the media pushing the likes of Mattis and John Kelly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 26, 2019 Members Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) I was going to post a stupid, incoherent response Bernie gave to a black male student about what he should do if stopped by the police but why bother? It made me upset and it's not worth posting anyway. Edited October 26, 2019 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2019 Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 I saw some responses to that telling people who were upset that this is what they "need" to hear. Just so disrespectful and arrogant to tell people who have lived their lives in terror that they need to listen to a rich white man tell them they and their parents know nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted October 27, 2019 Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 Sanders is tone deaf when it comes to non-whites and has limited political acumen outside of populism against billionaires. The fact that the NAACP in Vermont could never get a response back from him tells you all that you need to know about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 27, 2019 Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 Same with Buttigieg. POC are a political and personal blindspot to them both -- and if they don't course-correct ASAP, it's gonna HURT them both politically, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2019 Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 Bernie is too old to course-correct and clearly doesn't care about doing so. I'm torn between whether Buttigieg could or if he is just feigning an effort to do so. I keep resisting the urge to delve too much into the latter because I don't think he has a real shot anyway, but I guess it depends on how Biden fares in the next few months. Reading about Trump's descriptions of the dead ISIS leader - whimpering and how he 'died like a dog,' all just reminds me of the sadism and callousness of this man and his administration. I'm glad that so many people immediately shut down the rah-rah-rally stuff from the usual suspects by pointing out Trump himself refused to praise Obama for a much bigger strike against terrorism than yesterday. I was very disturbed to read that he didn't tell ANY Democratic leaders of Congress what he was doing. This sets a very dangerous precedent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 27, 2019 Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 It's interesting, though, how this (killing Baghdadi) occurs while the House continues their impeachment inquiries. This'll probably be the thing that gets Trump re-elected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2019 Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 I appreciate the idea of common ground, but the idea that black voters aren't supporting him because he's gay is unfair - if that is what the headline is implying. His record as mayor is likely the main reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
