Those fat bitches who crashed Sanders' rally go to 50k/year private colleges and black women are victims of police violence far less than white men are. So basically gently caress them.

But remember, BLM is funded by George Soros who is a Hillary backer, Sanders really didn't have a choice because then Hillary would have harped on it forever - That's what she was hoping would happen.

A racial minority isn't necessarily divided up by sex. When referring to african-americans in general, those girls fall under that umbrella, they aren't necessarily atomised.

What criteria would lead you to mark Bernie Sanders as 'beta'?

I'd prefer that he was able to articulate these positions in person rather than constantly relying on rhetoric. I have rarely heard him talk about concrete policy positions, numbers, etcetera. more focused on 'stated goals'. Also he doesn't outright favour a more equitable distribution of wealth in society, unlike Sanders.

They can atleast provide general numbers, percentages, etcetera. When asked questions specifically, they are at least some of the time capable of answering specifically. (The nuclear triad one sticks particularly in my mind).

He holds the opinion that nobody really wants to listen to him drone on about specific policy positions at a rally for an hour, and hell, he's right.

Refusing would have sunk him even further, and would have elicited non-stop shrieking about it until the Primaries were over. There was no winning for Sanders in that situation.

There is a middle ground... and this isn't specifically at the rallies either. A bit more detail would help because as President, he has to be able to pitch to a wide variety of people who will value that skill. I have never seen that from Donald Trump, even prior to his election run.

Black Lives Matter is specifically a movement about police violence towards poor black men. Seeing upper class black women hijack it because they're playing oppression olympics at their private college pisses me off.

Even if he does, it is not a good thing to consistently practice. Reagan was able to shift from rhetoric to statesmen and back again as the audience suited him. I have seen no evidence that Trump can do that, and because I, and many others both foreign and domestic, value that skill, I don't think he'd make an ideal President. If I see him alter this, say for the general election, then I might reevaluate that particular criticism.

Articulating the finer points (only some of which I agree with) in person is important to me. Somebody else likely wrote all that up, I want it to come from the man himself. I want a demonstration that he is completely cogent of the complex minutiae that you often have to deal with as president.

One of the women who crashed Sanders' rally literally wore a t-shirt saying "sippin on white tears". She wasn't protesting in good faith aganst police brutality, she was using it as an excuse to claim oppression points and silenced a rally for thousands of people (most of whom were less privileged and affluent than her) so she could feel powerful and smug.

Anyone and everyone can/should protest against police violence on African-American men (and white and asian and hispanic men!), but rich women who are far more privileged in this and many other matters over white men, using it as a stick to beat white men with, is wrong.

I'm more contemptuous of the regressive left because they're generally affluent and educated enough to know better.

If you're a college educated lefty hip to the latest in anti-oppression theory and you think someone should lose their livelihood because they uttered "oppressive" or "violent" language, maybe not even while at their job just within earshot of you - or heaven forefend, on social media! - then you're probably an ideologue and irredeemable poo poo.

We need liberal arts majors just as much as STEM. Sociology, Economics, political science and other soft sciences are all liberal arts.

If you think conservatives understand anything but specifically the rural white working class, you're out of your mind. It's why appealing to their racism works, even if the proposals aren't racist in and of themselves. Hell, Trump's economic proposals are practically socialist by conservative metrics. But since he blunders about declaring that Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers, or that he'll keep out all of the Muslims, the local yokels eat it up.
