Markos understands nothing of either sexism or racism and the notion of privilege is also a concept that goes right over his head.

He only knows how to use identity issues as a political tactic, which is embarrassing.

The fact that he has no understanding that Bernie is a Jew and what that means is hardly limited to him - the casual anti-Semitism shown there was one of the reasons I couldn't take many of the Hillary supporters seriously either.

Oh well.

and that immigration was more important than that?

I seem to remember that gem. Myopic doesn't begin to describe his brain, attitude.

His comments sound to me like he is on something. No kidding.

Funny how no one should talk poorly of someone born with traits that can not be helped.

We're all born the color we are.
We're all born with one of two obvious genders at birth.
We're all born with sexual preference(s) and an identity (sexual and otherwise).

If this were to happen, our party’s voters of color and the woman they back would be nullified in favor of the white male candidate predominantly supported by white men. This doesn’t mean that those pushing for this outcome, or Bernie Sanders himself, are racist. But it does betray a breathtaking amount ofwhite privilege

Yet, if someone is White and Male, there is automatic criticism and a claim of privilege. There are huge, yuuuuge numbers of white males so far from the power structures of business and politics (and MOST PEOPLE are), this stigma attached time and again as if John Smith down the street caused all racism and sexism, and was also partly responsible for 9/11, the financial collapse, and the Zika virus - just because he happens to be white, and male, and heterosexual.

The scapegoating has gotten old. It's been old a long time.

We're not supposed to blame anyone for how they are born, except for certain people. The hypocrisy is obvious. Certain people are going to get blamed simply because a lot of people will nod their heads and say yeah without thinking.

Jar Jar is playing the race card, but he does so disingenuously creating a racially biased argument where none should be. Jar Jar is also playing the sexism card - the fallacy here that anyone not voting for Clinton does so because she is female, when in actuality, it is because Clinton lacks integrity, is a proven liar, and has now even been shown that she lacks the capability to maintain security for classified material in a lesser position in government. As a result of all those things, she would make a very poor President.

But let Jar Jar keep on blaming people of a certain skin pigmentation, and of a certain sex, and even of a certain sexual orientation - FOR EVERYTHING.

It's jar Jar inciting hatred of a specific group and or demanding that those of that group feel a special kind of shame for how they were born - most of whom do not have the power or privilege for which they are accused, who were also born that way.

And we can all be sure that Jar Jar would tell us there is nothing hypocritical about that!

"You know, the ones we're gonna stab in the back again after we're elected."

it's all over the place, too, from the top down. Oh well.

They seem to be worried that "Bernie voters" won't vote for Hills, not understanding that "Bernie voters" are not Party people and haven't been for 40 years.

Thinking about perspective here....from where the shamers are at, they think they're right, Bernie's people are extremists who should realize Her Ladyship is right and vote accordingly. They're not interested in what we think because we're too extreme. (I say "we" even though I wouldn't consider myself a hard-core Bernie voter.) So any ideas we have, or that Bernie has, are not really worth considering. Just vote for Her!

Whereas my perspective, which is also the perspective (I think) of a lot of people who prefer Bernie, is that Hillary is so far to the right that she's NOT better than Trump. Pretty simple.

So getting out of the way, allowing her to focus on Trump, IS giving up on principles. And we're the kind of people who think principles matter....unlike some.

Or....maybe it's because we don't want a nominee associated with an active FBI investigation, and we know good and damn well said "presumptive nominee" won't quit of her own free will because she doesn't have a shred of integrity, credibility or dignity?

knowledge of candidates to just those who are hostile to them. Sad but true. Kos's family were supporters of death squads in El Salvador. If Pinochet immigrated he would be considered a POC.

than moi, were to dredge up his hypocritical diaries and post them as new with attribution at the end, "originally posted by [...] on [day/mo/yr]" ...maybe the whole place would implode.

If you think about it, do you consider him a friend?

Would you confide in him, or trust him? Not me. He uses people to get clicks because it puts money in his pockets and advances his weird little Napoleon agenda.

He'll say "big internet" and ban people. Later on in the same day, he'll post puppy and kitten pics and talk about how everyone has something of value to contribute. (New Users group started with that.)

There's nothing credible or even consistent. Enough to make your head spin, and (in my opinion) he's not worth it. He never was. That people got to know each other there or became friends is what he's counting on to keep you coming back. The cynicism is endless.

I have no fucks to give.

(Just trying to help Miss Mimi feel less guilt for reading.)

Now it seems he wants to destroy any chance she has with the independent voter and hence the election. If Trump isn't paying him, he should. What Independent or Bernie supporter would want to vote for her after reading yet another hit piece? Yuck.

about anything? He and they just wants people to go over and read the Tang smears for ad clicks. Fuck'em.
