Vote Clinton, she promises to do nothing to benefit anyone, and that's called fairness.

List of policies advocated only by HRC that disproportionately help destitute POC families:

I know you're quite stupid, but you can't benefit a class that doesn't exist.

Oh I get it, racism ended in the 19th century. There are no institutional disadvantages that need to be addressed.

Found one person who believes Hillary had a plan to address institutional issues that would include actual policy making rather than some platitudes made from time to time.

Again: as with every other thing Clinton and her campaign and her followers said, it's her past that makes her message lack credibility, which in turns makes people believe (correctly) that it is an argument in bad faith.

There are plenty of possible criticisms of Sanders' policies and of "Bernie Bros" from an anti-racist perspective, but they are not believable coming from Hillary Clinton, or people who supported Hillary Clinton.

When you point out that there are institutional disadvantages that need to be addressed, the political message lacks credibility because Clinton and the establishment Democrats wouldn't have done anything about these institutional disadvantages.

When you criticize people who supported Sanders for 'throwing PoC under the bus' as an indirect defense of Clinton and establishment dems, it lacks credibility because Clinton herself was 'throwing PoC under the bus' the last time she ran for President.

you might want to check with PoC communities before making such wrong statements. Obviously not giving full lip service to white folk like Sanders and Trump did was not the path to success in 2016.

Part of her loss was due to decreased turnout amongst African Americans.

I mean this is the same as when people criticize Sanders for focusing too much on Wall Street and saying all of America's problems are Wall Street.


That criticism is much more believable when it's not coming from people who actually like Wall Street.

That dumb liberal hack is arguing that. Using the same bullshit race tactics that Hillarybots used on Bernie and his supporters.

"Lefties don't address racial issues" :downs: Not realizing that the Clintons and Co. are a major reason for deep poverty among minorities.

Also Hillary also supported a higher wage (except when she didn't, of course), so she is racist.

But we are not talking about criticism. We are talking about two candidates and who had the better policies.

When Clinton criticized Sanders, the implicit (or often explicit) message was: my policies are better.

It's like if Sanders was out there criticizing Trump for not being conservative enough, it's completely disingenuous.

They have 2x the unemployment of other races across all demographics and PoC as a whole are more likely to be paid under the table. This, to you, Mr. Progressive, is working as intended I guess and something that should be defended.

No poo poo yes, the institutional disadvantages are in part designed to segregate. Communities that are unsegregated are statistically less racist while segregated communities overwhelmingly vote Trump and want to stay segregated.

Why are you minimizing the african-american working class and why do you use the exploitation of part of it as justification to deny another part of it better wages? Dividing minorities against themselves is a classic racist tactic, you know.

Twice the unemployment rate of whites is terrible and symptomatic of racism in hiring, but black people are also more likely to be paid at or under minimum wage and overrepresented at any level of income below 15$ an hour.

It doesn't fix the first part but it's definitely not "candy for middle class whites."

She certainly was on social issues, but that's not too interesting because it's more of a function of the country or at least the democratic party being more to the left on many social issues like gay marriage and transgender rights. But I think she probably was on most issues as well-- she ran as a continuation but it's not like Obama was talking about a 15 dollar min wage to the degree she did.

Clinton only adopted the $15 minimum wage after Sanders did, though. And even then she dragged her feet on it until well into the general election.
