(50,254 posts)And the "HRC beats Bernie among those groups" thing.
They are taking false accusations and meaningless early polls as if they prove something final-and as if they prove that it's justifiable to back HRC, the much more conservative candidate, against Bernie on "anti-oppression" grounds.
If I've got that wrong...what message SHOULD I be taking from those who keep citing the poll results and keep making false accusations that Bernie can't be trusted to fight bigotry?
Or from the poster who started a thread whose title was basically "only young white kids back Bernie"?(that's a slight paraphrase, but that was the essence of the thread title. If those aren't coded accusations that Bernie and his current core supporters are bigots, what the hell DO they mean?
And why is there this great push to put Bernie on the spot on this when he's done nothing to deserve such treatment? You'd think we could only hold the White House if Bernie withdrew from the race by Monday or something.
