As I asked you, what legitimate promises can any minority House candidate make to Black people?
if they cant make any legitamte promises to black people then what are black people excited about?
And it's ridiculous to think that someone needs to make "specific" promises to Black people in order for their candidacy to be good for Black people. Does George W. Bush make specific promises to White people when he ran? You see anyone making meaningful, specific promises to Asian people? Or Jews?
george bush's political existence is basically a promise to keep things white
she is making specific promises to LGBT and puerto ricans and other hispanics,
and nowadays all politicians make a specific promise to protect isreal which is a specific promise to jews
etc
I sure as hell ain't a marxist or a communist and I diverge quite a bit from most socialists and liberals.
you can call yourself whatever you want but this list
Medicare for all.
End private prisons.
Justice system reform.
Federal jobs guarantee.
Housing as a human right.
Free college education.
Campaign finance reform, Wall Street regulation reform, etc.
is essentially a leftist/socialist agenda and she herself call herself a democratic socialist
so regardless of what you consider yourself you have endorsed a "democratic socialist" agenda and are excited about it
But how is what you've said even an argument? You could say, "Black -------- have been trying to tie black people to --------- for the past ------ years" for anything. That doesn't constitute an argument against it.
the argument wasnt against her agenda per se, the argument was that there is nothing in it that is specific to black people and that it will continue that way when she gets in office
You're really going to have to explain that one. If you mean neoliberalism, sure. Whatever kind of "leftism" you could possibly describe that way, I sure as hell don't subscribe to it.
i just mean leftists like her, sanders and hillary clinton, they represents a kinder gentler form of white supremacy
If you follow my posts you'd see that I'm not a Democrat and I've been happy not to vote for Democrats more often than not. And I absolutely agree that the MAIN focus needs to be on community, not politics, and that politics ain't gonna save shyt. But as long as there are politicians out there and we talking about them, her agenda looks a lot better than what the Democrats in power have been trying to sell the Black community on. And the Republicans aren't even an option.
well first of all what she is selling is basically the same thing Sanders was selling which is basically a more leftist version of the mainstream democratic party, its not anything new, specifically she is like a puerto rican Kucinich, look him up, and i predict she will end up being as effective as he was
the main focus needs to be on money and economics, black people should be excited when the discussion is about increasing money and economic power in the black community, not when some random marxist politician wins[/QUOTE]
