I think it's pretty funny that the centrists on this forum got all pissy about corncob avatars and then turned around and started doling out swastika avatars for "wrong think".

Why do you keep defending racism when its someone you like? I’m not defending the bad things he’s said. Why I still find him worthwhile is because he reconsiders his bad positions. Basically the defense for bernie is that he improves himself. Now, the question I’m going to pose to you is why you reflexively defend an unrepentant racist? Der Waffle Mous posted:I mean right now I feel like the bare minimum is to stop treating them as innocent little gaffes he'll get over once someone convinces him he's wrong. So you consider him irredeemably racist? If we were to believe the same, what should we do? Refuse to support him? Personally I don’t think he’s irredeemable. He’s literally the imperfect candidate we’re supposed to not let the perfect be the enemy of. I believe he’s improving on social justice month by month after all.

Bernie has a much better record on race than Clinton, considering Clinton owned slaves. Also Obama deported more migrants than Bush. Turns out shitlibs are 100% hypocrites when criticizing Bernie.

Ok, but it seems like you took issue to responses that (to me, at least) read as "yes he's racist but he's the best choice we have", but that's also your opinion it seems. I'm a bit confused now.

if Bernie was a middle of-the-road centrist Democrat in every other respect, there’s no possible way his record on race would stand out as particularly bad or even right-wing at all by the standards of the rest of the Dem caucus of course he has problems and should be expected to do better (if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be vulnerable to this dumb narrative), but somehow I don’t think the RACIST BERNIE RACISTLY IGNORES POC crowd painting him as some reincarnation of the Dixiecrats is arguing in good faith

Also please don't imply he hired the people that blew up the event he was attending. He met with Symone Sanders a few days later and hired her on the spot (after a 30 minute interview stretched out to several hours).

Basically everything against Bernie was a corporate hit-job. They manufactured accusations to tarnish him, because corporate dems feared losing rich donor money. Class warfare concealed with the glove of Wokeness. Mean stuff. Corsair Pool Boy posted:Jesus. Did that come out recently or did I somehow just manage to not hear that during 2016?

I swear, the more I hear about the party and people in it the more I despair of things ever changing from the inside, yet I'd still vote for her in Trump vs. Hillary 2: Electoral Boogaloo because jesus gently caress Trump is bad. We are reaching a point in international relations where even if he loses in 2020 the winner may not be able to repair the damage and tattered relationships he is deliberately shredding.

it doesn't refer to an incident that exists outside of Der Waffle Mouse's broken brain it'd be one thing if you just refused to vote Dem on the count that they are all racist. I can get down. but the second you start stanning for Clinton and lobbing racism accusations at Bernie you've lost me. in any world where Bernie "has a problem with race" Hillary Clinton is an unelectable slaveowner. you can't have one without the other

I'm sure I don't need to remind people of the time HRC was interrupted by a BLM protester and responded by saying "can I talk? Can I talk?

Yeah, well, this isn't a debate about Hillary. Also still relying on the same campaign event as a fall back for Sanders' credentials in 2018 is not particularly convincing, it was an admirable response by him, but the campaign is over now, and the focus should be on substantial issues, on policy stances in the run up to the next campaign, not on relitigating the past and playing campaign events as cards in the blame game. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Jun 25, 2018 |
