I am very new to this forum so the post I am talking about occurred within a day or so from this one, not a while back. Your response in that thread was oh that information was from that author; so its propaganda. By the sound of your post above you already knew about Sierra Blanca so it was disingenuous of you to imply that it was propoganda. The implication being that it didn't happen. I can have a serious discussion of the issue that yes there isn't really a good decision about where to dump nuclear waste and compromise may be the best of a bad situation. A compromise that Sanders seldom makes for other things like the amber alert, etc...
The point of the Sierra Blanca, (now that we agree that it does exist,) however, is that the waste was dumped in a poor hispanic community, who couldn't fight it because they were poor. The essence of Wellstone's arguement of environmental racism. The thread that i am referring to was about general election electability. My post was about the idea that Sanders brand, the crusader for the poor against the rich, could be adversly effected in a general election because Sierra Blanca hits at the underpinnings of that brand. Hence the subject of that thread about not being vetted. Most people do not know about Sierra Blanca. What the dailykos article also underscores or shows is an indifference to that poor community. An indifference that was contrasted with Paul Wellstones concern for the community. I showed that dailykos article to a Bernie supporter and she said she was quite surprised. She didn't think it sounded like how she thought he was and was looking at Sanders in a different way. My further point in that other thread was that the Donald who does take things over the top would use that by saying to the hispanic community something like see I just want to deport you, you can come back legally but (he) Sanders will dump nuclear waste and poison your children. This could have the effect of leveling the Hispanic vote. A group which Nate Silver is saying will help us win. The Hispanic vote is going overwhelmingly in the democrats favor right now.
