(16,954 posts)Clinton, Clinton's campaign, and even Clinton's supporters are all responsible. Even those who didn't supposedly speak out to protect Bernie are responsible. There are even posts implying there will be payback from Bernie supporters. All this to protect Bernie's image. Now think about how ridiculous all that sounds.
I have to shake my head at the rest of your post and just how out of touch it is. "Their concerns"...? Women and minorities are a large voting constituency of the Democratic party. "Their concerns" are OUR concerns as Democrats. See how that works?
And for cripes sake, even the GOP debate had a question about the BLM movement, calling it "the most important civil issue of our times" (I can find the exact question). If the GOP debates can address BLM even in passing, WHY can't Bernie supporters do the same?? It's really unbelievable.
That's why the anger really comes through as a concern over Bernie's image and, sorry, but his image is not a legitimate campaign issue.
