I'm actually quite curious, since on that front I'm only aware of him ceding the floor to the BLM activists and talking about race on the stump. Is there some ugly stuff in his record? Or is it just "dude from Vermont can't care about black people." Bernie for a long time saw racial issues as part of the larger economic injustice issue. Recently though, thanks in parts to people like Symone Sanders (who is his top racial justice adviser), he has come to understand that racial justice is it's own separate issue and must be addressed on it's own terms.

MaxxBot posted:This is a perfectly valid point but for example I hate Bobby Jindal but I don't go out of my way to track down his 5 supporters and ridicule them, because he has no chance of winning. Fishmech thinks Sanders has no chance of winning but deems it vitally important to trash his supporters at every possible opportunity because he's an annoying troll. Have you considered that melting down every time something less than positive is said about Bernie Sanders means you deserve to be trolled?

Or is it just "dude from Vermont can't care about black people." He's got the same issues that any old white politician would have, which is that he's a out of touch with the personal realities of modern racism, but he's making strides to correct that in a bunch of different ways, and is still way better about it than anyone else in the field. Additionally, he polls reaaaally low with people who aren't white liberal dudes, which is an issue of messaging It's used as an attack because it will invariably send most sanders supporters into a conniption fit, and if you bring up his low polls with non-white non-dudes, you might get lucky and have one of the dudes who jumped ship from ron paul say something to the effect of "black people aren't voting for sanders because they don't know what's good for them". All of which is kind of a result of sanders disorganized ground game that can't really get everyone behind a single, good message that accurately represents his politics.

Why do you even care? Why are Bernie supporters more worthy of engagement than say O'Malley or Lessig supporters? It seems to me that the only answer is that you enjoy making people angry. Also tbf fishmech was responding to the post that said, paraphrasing "everyone is saying that bernie is racist youre only attacking sanders on the basis that he's a filthy racist dont you" which is a tiny bit delusional.

He also has the issue with saying some really stupid poo poo in the past like when Freddie Gray(i may be thinking of the wrong murdered black teen here) got killed in Ferguson he went on the news and said the problem was lack of job opportunities and college. But he really has done a complete 180 on that stuff.

Fishmech's schtick is to say something patently false or outrageous and then berate you for calling him out on his ridiculous statement and make further ridiculous statements. He'll pepper in occasionally cogent points so as not to be probated for trolling. Which is what he's doing. Also if you open up a Merriam-Webster's leather bound, 8th edition and flip to the entry for "Argument in bad faith" you'll find a picture of his avatar printed in black and white.

I want to like O'Malley, I felt he was a decent enough Governor, but I know he has no chance while Clinton and Sanders are viable. But one can't really talk about him around here, the rain tax debacle and all that get brought up whenever you do. Granted, environmental conservation is one of my main issues, and I understood the need for such a tax. But you can't really talk to people about 'abstract' things like that.

People on this forum are weirdly obssed with Bernie. At least people who are supportive obsessive make sense and are only a handful. The haters are just weird and seem to far outnumber the supporters.

Yes I have, I've done it plenty. poo poo I drove some Bernie supporters up to New Hampshire from Boston back in September (we all went to the NH Democratic Convention together to see the candidates minus Webb speak). Funnily enough, they didn't have the habit of shrieking whenever Bernie was rationally discussed the way, say, you do. That probably has some relation with why I'm making fun of you. But of course, you're interested in running to the "persecution" stage of the Ron Paul Fan playbook ahead of schedule (in 2008 and 2012 they waited til after Iowa typically) so hey, I guess you're just tryin' to have a head start.

I'm just sick of the fact that it's impossible to even discuss his candidacy anywhere on these forums without you jumping in with smug, idiotic insults at every possible chance. It's pretty loving clear that rational discussion of the candidates is the last thing that you want.

Because none of what you posted just now is true.
