Wave away how much you enabled a right-wing fascist to be elected because of what a politician did to some prisoners. I won't. I'd vote for a Neoliberal Economist before a Fujimori as the people in Peru just did. Because I have a sense of what is important.

It's really weird to claim "actually i'm a leftist and not racist, i voted for bernie i swear" when you're over here telling us to forget about prison slavery in a country where minorities get incarcerated at massively higher rates than whites by the justice system. The racist justice system is one of the key contributing factors in the destruction of poor black communities.

no-one legitimized the actions of the aid. as soon as it came to light, he was fired. dws did accuse sanders of being in on it though, which is why she ripped away his access even though the bad actor was gone from his campaign. and which is why his access was not restored till he sued

and yet hillaries have been doing just that this page and not a word.

The campaign did the right thing (I may be wrong about this, but I seem to recall at one point Jeff Weaver implying that the campaign was set up, though). But many people refuse to let go and actually admit as to what happened, including yourself. You can disagree with the actions of a campaign without disagreeing with the candidate.

I agree the racist justice system needs to be reformed 100%. First by eliminating and modifying the jury system and by introducing color blindness to trials.

i do not think it makes much sense to paint the actions of a staffer as the actions of the entire campaign, and i dunno why i would ever think that unless it was shown bernie or high level members of the campaign were encouraging it. everything we know points towards them shutting this behavior down asap so you're just trying to paint bernie as hacking his opponents

If you actually believe this then how can you hand-wave away issues about prisoners when there are so many people in our prisons who are only in there because of the racist justice system in the first place? You are denying rights to a lot of people whose only offense was being non-white at the wrong place and time, or doing completely minor poo poo like selling weed and getting hit with 20 years.

The Sanders campaign accessed data through unauthorized means. That's hacking. It's basic. Open and shut. The Sanders campaign admitted to it. And the fact that you first denied it and then downplayed it is crazy. You can admit that it was wrong. It's okay.

They didn't break in, they went in after the door was inadvertently left open. This distinction is meaningful even if you want to quibble over whether both constitute "hacking".

We have the biggest prison population and the second highest incarceration rate in the world. How can Kamala Harris defenders even pretend that this is just a minor notch on her record? :psyduck:

And I'm not even talking about JailTrump here. I've seen countless liberals in the last 2 days trying to defend her in the same manner. By insinuating that prison reform is a not an important issue, and that nobody actually cares about it and they're just criticizing her because she isn't Bernie, etc.

Actually, upon review, it does look like multiple staffers accessed the data. And one of them was the National Data Director.

https://www.abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/documents-show-sanders-staffers-accessed-clinton-voter-data/story%3fid=35846799

I feel like Kamala Harris has to be the final nail in the coffin for the Democrats, right? How can the party survive if someone like her can seriously get a large amount of support from anyone who pretends like they're not a straight up Republican?

I can't reconcile this, she's a straight up monster. Like even if you wanna come at it from "trans people don't really matter, they're like .6% of the population and like 70% of other people think they're gross", how can you seriously try to say that the Democrats can be okay with someone who wants to jail parents of truant children? This isn't like Clinton's crimes against black people from the 90s, or even her indirect apathy toward them with regards to every economic and social issue that affect them indirectly like in 2016, this is a straight up "round up black people and make them slaves again" kinda thing. It's more blatant than I'd even expect from a Republican.

The majority of millennials reject capitalism, and an obscure senator went from 5% support to being the currently most popular politician with the strongest support from the people liberals keep trying to say has a problem with, rather than the crooks polling worse than a bumbling reality TV nazi cartoon.

This is from a while back, but I feel like this statistic is being heavily abused. It's kind of obvious that Bernie would have higher support among black people than white people, simply by virtue of the fact that the vast majority of black people are Democrats (or at least aren't Republican). Literally any Democratic politician would poll better among black voters than white voters for this reason.

The statistic is still effective at showing that, contrary to liberal dogma, Bernie is relatively liked (and certainly isn't disliked) by minority groups, but it's very misleading to cast it as some sort of "lol actually minorities support him much more than anyone else!" thing (since when people say that there's generally the assumption that they mean "among Democratic voters"). Support for Bernie among Democrats by black Americans seems to be more or less average (it's probably about the same as they support any Generic Democrat). Now, if you narrow things down to younger black voters it's a different story, since younger people of all races within the Democratic Party strongly support Sanders.

I met Uretsky, the main person involved. He was National Data Director, which is traditionally considered a senior staff person. I was wrong about an aspect of the case, but considering how the facts are more damning, that's not quite good for you.

Goddamn this is not a good look. You're basically acting like the Bernie version of Hillary supporters who feel compelled to defend to the death any tiny criticism of her.

It was wrong. If you're holding Hillary responsible for the actions of all her staffers you look like a hypocrite for not doing the same for Bernie. It's okay to admit that no campaign is 100% perfect and above reproach in all ways.
