Caltrops - Balance of Power





	[quote name="skip"][quote name="Vested Id"]She got Black Lives Matter support by going all-in (well <a href="https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/gun-violence-prevention/">some-in</a>) on gun control, very slick way of drawing a line between herself and the guy <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Domestic/Bernie_Sanders_Civil_Rights.htm">who wants to reintroduce the ERA and is rated at 97% on affirmative action by the NAACP</a>. She's running on a Fire Extinguisher platform to get the People On Fire vote.[/quote] Sanders may be highly rated by the NAACP, like most Democrats, but Joe Trippi pointed this out and I agree, there's something clinical about the way he talks that he doesn't connect with demographics that require a a personal outreach to their community such as Black or Hispanic people. Women used to be in this same group but Planned Parenthood endorsements don't count for what they used to. I think it's the way he circles back to inequality <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/01/12/sanders-on-iran-obama-avoided-it-because-income-inequality-will-be-an-issue-for-decades/">even when he's talking about Iran.</a> This post <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/comments/472fj6/why_isnt_bernie_sanders_doing_well_with_black/d09sdaw">does a good job</a> of breaking down his weaknesses and failures in the Black community. I'll only quote this part but the entire post is worth reading. [quote] Black people aren't as liberal as a lot of people think we are. We just don't vote republican. . . As far as politics go, we're pretty moderate, if not straight conservative.[/quote] Again, watching young, white, liberal, atheists on Reddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/3kod6p/bernie_sanders_tries_to_meet_with_black_leaders/cuz2vra">realize that Black people </a>don't give a fuck about how much you yelled at someone on Twitter about white privilege has been crazy funny. They don't want your revolution. [quote]Sanders canvassers<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/45sk1d/in_south_carolina_90_support_among_those_who_know/d00cbna"> [in South Carolina] </a>couldn't find a single Clinton supporter among black voters."[/quote] Hehehe.
