In reply to the discussion: Sanders tanked Clinton. [View all]JCanete
(5,272 posts)25. yes, I almost spoke for the supposed "real" democrats who would say something similar. So you agree
that criticism of our party and the decisions made by our leadership should not be off limits. Good.
The voter disenfranchisement bullshit is getting a little old. Opening the door for more people to vote in our primaries is NOT disenfranchising people. Do you at least have a break down of people of color to white americans who are independent voters? Is there a huge disparity here? I've looked but I haven't found the numbers.
