The bias is clear...

The bias is clear...

We all knew this after the Hillary against Bernie subterfuge in 2016

Malcolm X was a Muslim. Muhammad Ali was a Muslim.

Ok....
My parents were Muslim, and so are multiple members of my family. I don’t think she has said or proposed anything to hurt Black American Muslims. I understand that you might not like her or her policies, but I like her non intervention philosophy. Especially as a veteran. Plus she support free college, weed legalization, and Medicare for All. But like I said before. There is nothing in that thread about her positions on isolated Black issues. I also couldn’t find anything on my own. Until I know her views on that, I can’t fully support her.

as far as i see with gabbard, she has some ties to far right hindus in India and she had an interview where she was juelzing about the US doing torture, which is kind of ironic since her main thing is being anti interventionist now, shes my 3rd choice behind bernie and warren

Yeah,
That interview on torture was by far her worst moment. She needs to be asked if she still has that position. I not as concerned about the India stuff, because of her philosophy of non intervention. Although she might not love Muslims, I doubt she will try to overthrow their governments. Look at her position on Syria and what she been saying about Libya. Although she does support the drone wars which is also problematic. The problem is all the other candidates support it to. Even with all of her flaws I think she has the best foreign policy out of all the candidates.

When Bernie talks about free college, does he mean:

• community colleges, state colleges, and state universities are free?
• or all colleges and universities (state and private) are free?

The world... no

Establishment stakeholders... absolutely. This has already been proven

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

This was a great discussion. Especially the reparations conversation.

It's sad, especially with a vote like this happened last year.

Tim Kaine isn’t shy about his work as a fair housing lawyer. When he ran as the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee in 2016, the Virginia senator routinely touted his past pro bono efforts to help low-income families deal with shady landlords and racist lenders. Combined with his affable dork-dad delivery, Kaine helped shore up Hillary Clinton’s credibility on an ambitious anti-discrimination agenda. And it didn’t sound like empty politician talk: Kaine had done the work.

He still feels a connection with civil rights attorneys. “In representing people who are getting ripped off or who don’t have anybody else to stand up for them or who don’t even know the questions to ask or where to turn for help, you are the hero,” Kaine told a Washington gathering of the nonprofit National Consumer Law Center in November.

And on Monday, the Senate will hold a key vote on a Kaine-sponsored bill that deliberately undermines the government’s ability to enforce laws against racial discrimination in the housing market. The legislation would block the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from collecting key data showing when and where families of color are being overcharged for home loans or steered into predatory products. It’s just one small provision in a broad financial deregulation package, which is almost certain to clear both chambers of Congress and receive President Donald Trump’s signature. Last week, 17 members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted to advance the bill.

The effort to chip away at anti-discrimination enforcement has largely gone overlooked this year, as banking watchdogs focused their criticism on the legislation’s rollback of tougher rules against risk-taking at megabanks that were implemented in response to the 2008 financial crisis. Both foreign financial conglomerates and big American regional lenders would enjoy lighter federal supervision if the bill passes.

To its opponents, the bill represents a contorted statement of values, prioritizing short-term bank profits over consumer protection and financial stability.

“This is a bad bill,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told HuffPost. “No Democrat and no Republican should support it.”
