The reciprocal of this is that "young white leftists" or "Bernie Bros" don't have to beg or bend at the knee either. They can simply not vote.
I'm saying, didn't Romney get run out the building for this 5 years ago? Smh.They are so fukking stupid.
Liberals love to fuk up winnable elections.
What white politician who works for Bain (no matter what capacity) does Joy Reid think would be supported by "Berniecrats?"
If they can point to white politicians that are considered friendly to Wall Street that are given a pass by Sanders supporters, then I would understand where they're coming from.
Now, if their argument is that this anti Wall Street/neoliberalism strain is harmful to the party itself, then I would understand. But at this point they are allowing themselves to be used by the establishment wing of the party.
for actual individuals like Harris, it's worth considering the extremely weakened state of the party elite compared to 2013. Clinton's defeat completely shattered the elite's reputation for competence
so if i have this right... you say none of these are legitimate reasons to distrust a candidate, and it must be because of racism a corporate prosecutor and two wall street whores, just like their white counterparts. but you can't say that because they're black?Let's take each in turn. The former attorney general of California, Harris is mistrusted by the left mostly because of her roots as a prosecutor. The Black Lives Matter movement has put anyone with law enforcement history under close scrutiny, and California's criminal justice system is notoriously brutal (though it has improved recently). While she is obviously no Jeff Sessions, Harris has sometimes displayed a rather Hillary Clinton-esque tendency to say the right thing but not follow through in a vigorous way. Most notoriously, she refused to prosecute Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's old company OneWest for numerous instances of almost certain illegal foreclosure, against the advice of her own Consumer Law Section, and has so far refused to say why. (She was also the only Senate Democratic candidate to get a donation from Mnuchin himself in 2016.)
Booker is mistrusted because of his ties to Wall Street. Most notoriously, when President Obama attacked Mitt Romney during the 2012 campaign for his long career as a bloodsucking financial parasite, buying up companies only to strip their assets and drive them into bankruptcy, Booker defended Bain Capital on Meet the Press. Why? Because New Jersey is just across the river from Manhattan and both parties are drowning in Wall Street cash.
Patrick is least trusted of all because he actually works for Bain Capital as a managing director. If he were to run for president, as Obama's inner circle is apparently urging him to, President Trump would just have to copy-paste Obama's 2012 ads.
In other words, there are quite substantive reasons why a leftist might not trust any of those candidates. The probably accurate perception that all three candidates are being groomed by the same big-money donors
He's been ridiculously quiet since he left office here. Prob trying to stay squeaky clean. He was liked in my state as Gov but his support is over exaggerated lLol you see it. The rollout was all over Politico yesterday.
Obama’s Inner Circle Is Urging Deval Patrick to Run
I don't think even wants to run though.
He was probably looking at 2024 but now Don got in he might be considering it. I still think he and his family are against it.He's been ridiculously quiet since he left office here. Prob trying to stay squeaky clean. He was liked in my state as Gov but his support is over exaggerated l
why are white leftists so angry at black success?Lol you see it. The rollout was all over Politico yesterday.
