(50,254 posts)Just that it's arrogant to act as if polls taken now really mean anything.
How could any candidate who's just entered the campaign, just begun to enter national consequence, be fairly expected to be instantly competitive in every demographic?
Why should we act as if these polls somehow end the discussion and prove that Bernie is unacceptable?
It's not as if anything progressive or positive, or anything that benefited the fight against social oppression. could possibly come of Bernie being forced out of the race.
And why do you act is if the his perfect voting record on anti-oppression issues doesn't matter?
It's silly to assume that HRC would be better on anti-oppression issues simply because she's a woman. Did that work with Margaret Thatcher? With Indira Gandhi? With Golda Meir(who started the insane West Bank settlement movement)?
