Hillary supporters here obviously don't care about Baltimore

[Rosa Luxemburg]

judging by their derogatory posts about Bernie's visit to Baltimore today they are so wrapped up in their ISIS thing, Wall Street and CNN supporters that they are forgetting that people in Baltimore are actually hurting. Bernie pointed out that Baltimore city is practically devoid of grocery stores and people have practically no way of getting fresh nutritional food. Amongst the rubble of many of the neighborhoods in Baltimore there is a gleaming MacDonalds or some other which provides most of the non-nutritional food. Many of our city's children go to bed hungry. Most of the areas downtown are drug-ridden with many shootings. If a couple of people in a suburban mall are shot there is an uproar yet nobody cares about Baltimore city.

[Buzz Clik]

1. That's the take home message...

... if your goal is to attempt to turn the focus off Sanders's snippiness with the press and onto the person who was not even there.

Nice try!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. Hillary's crew are spinning out of control

[Buzz Clik]

3. The mess is Bernie's not HRC's. The only spin is coming from those looking for a soft place to fall.

And it ain't the Hillary crew.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. The people of Baltimore come first

[Buzz Clik]

8. Of course they come first, and they did come first.

But, if Bernie is to be President, he must learn to handle crap like this. ISIS is hugely important, too.

[HerbChestnut]

20. Sure

But there's a time and a place to talk about ISIS. A press conference dealing with the needs of the AA community and inner city poverty is not one of them.

[Buzz Clik]

24. Bernie made that clear. He didn't talk about ISIS. All's well that ends well.

Bernie came out fine.

[roguevalley]

55. that doesn't matter to some.

[artislife]

70. Lolz...

[AgingAmerican]

90. He doesn't buy into the right wing panic

Some are so conditioned by it they think its normal.

[cui bono]

100. And some are opportunists who will set aside principles and ethics

in order to exploit serious issues in an attempt to score political points.

.

[artislife]

69. Honestly, after today I am positive the biggest enemy

is not a band of Isis supporters.....yeah....that.

[MaggieD]

22. I know, right?

SMH.

[daleanime]

31. Yes, yes, I know....

Evil Bernie, don't know why we didn't realize that before he entered the primary.

Thank Goodness that we have some honest, moderate, pragmatic, democrats that are willing to run around doing their best to extinguish any enthusiasm that might occur. Last thing we want in an election we desperately need to win is enthusiasm.

I'd say never change, but that doesn't seem to be a concern. Oh well, get plenty of sleep. Tomorrow's a new day with new chances to write people off. Have a lovely one.

[Ned_Devine]

57. Nice response :)

[onehandle]

4. Cool story, bro. nt

[Truprogressive85]

6. Poverty is much bigger issue

ISIS is more important than the needs to black people is what I get from HRC supporters and really disgusting

[cui bono]

40. And probably all the same ones who were running around trying to say he was only for white males

and only about economic policy.

Never heard of an issue they won't exploit to score political points.

Racism, check.
Sexism, check.

I'm sure there's more but I'm going to get back to work now.

.

[Truprogressive85]

51. its amazing

Issues that affect the democrats most loyal voting bloc and HC supporters are saying to we need to focus on ISIS

I live in the inner city I dare any Hillary Clinton supporter to come to my neighborhood and ask any of the resident ; what is more frighting ISIS or not being able to afford rent / putting food on the table ?

My support for Sen.Sanders is simple I'm not looking for a candidate that rub elbows with the rich and takes their money. They don't give money to your campaign without something in return .

[cui bono]

53. Yes. Exactly. He is trying to make people's lives better. That's what we're supposed to be doing.

Not playing the Republican game of Terra Terra Terra!!!

.

[Cheese Sandwich]

7. This is exactly right. The attacks today were deliberately to distract from that issue

Bernie was Awesome in Baltimore today, and many did not want to let him have that moment. And many also apparently don't care at all about the emergency situation in urban communities. Sanders is the one candidate that's willing to go really big and do what it takes to address the situation. And it's going to take big changes.

[Buzz Clik]

9. The press attacked Bernie? Really?

[HerbChestnut]

21. I don't think the poster was implying the attacks came from the press.

I think they meant some Hillary supporters on this forum.

[Buzz Clik]

23. Well, yeah. But today is Tuesday: Attack Bernie Tuesday. Happens every week.

[daleanime]

34. Sweet, that makes it part of....

a matching set of seven.

Got to smear them all.

[cui bono]

41. Haha...

Gotta have the whole set or it's not a collector's item!



.

[bvf]

47. Yep, another one to put into the weekly rotation. n/t

[peacebird]

10. Bernie is actually talking about kitchen table issues that matter

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. exactly

people are hungry and frightened. They are more worried about getting shot by someone in their neighborhood than ISIS.

[KMOD]

26. Bernie can't walk and chew gum at the same time?

[jeff47]

33. Because talking about ISIS and only ISIS demonstrates multi-tasking. (nt)

[KMOD]

36. Oh please,

He can't answer a question on ISIS, and then turn it back onto the issue he wishes to discuss?

[jeff47]

43. Considering he did just that, you might wanna rethink that complaint. (nt)

[KMOD]

45. No ISIS questions.

That's what his campaign requested.

Ridiculous.

If he wants to be President of the Untied States, he needs to be prepared to answer these questions, and not ask the press to omit them.

[jeff47]

46. And he was asked an ISIS question.

Kinda making your complaint moot, no?

If he wants to be President of the Untied States, he needs to be prepared to answer these questions, and not ask the press to omit them.

But "Her speech will be her interview" is perfectly fine, right?

[KMOD]

49. His campaign manager tried to instruct the press to not ask him about ISIS.

And then he got all pissy when they ignored that request.

I have no idea what you are talking about in your next sentence.

If it's about Hillary, she has always answered questions, no matter how ridiculous, no matter how off topic.

She's been handling, and dealing with the press for decades. And she's a pro at it.

[MADem]

58. More to the point, his Press Secretary tried to ORDER the press not to ask ISIS questions.

The shit hit the fan not when someone asked an "ISIS" question, but when they asked

"Why did your press secretary tell us to not ask any ISIS questions?"

His staff is JUNIOR VARSITY.

That's where the problem lies. His press secretary is wet behind the ears still. She's having trouble handling the national press.

The fact that he seemed stunned that underserved neighborhoods are food/banking deserts didn't help him out, either. This isn't news but he looked like a deer in the headlights. He can take a short cab ride from his DC office and see the same shit, if he was interested...

Maybe he'll start to "get" what people (like our own Bravenak) were saying to him. Nothing like a walkabout to understand that without social justice, his "economic justice" platform won't get anywhere NEAR Freddie Gray's neighborhood.

[KMOD]

61. Amen, MADem.

[TM99]

80. *cough cough*

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026775414

Seems Clinton supporters didn't have a problem with Hillary controlling the press and limiting it to NO questions whatsoever. Obviously she doesn't always answer questions no matter what.

But you see, that is shrewdness, that is presidential behavior, that is....oh fuck, it is just a double standard from the usual folks who love to find anything they can to yammer on about with Sanders and his campaign.

First it is not good enough Sanders with PoC and now when he says, let's focus on PoC in this country for a moment instead of ISIL yet again today, its is not good enough Sanders.

If it wasn't so fucking ridiculous, it would be quite funny!

[Vattel]

85. I know I should be used to it,

but this barrage of nonsense is so breathtakingly stupid that it surprised me.

[jeff47]

95. Watch the video, he did not get pissy.

I have no idea what you are talking about in your next sentence.

If it's about Hillary, she has always answered questions, no matter how ridiculous, no matter how off topic.

It's a quote from Clinton campaign aides, where she refused to answer any questions.

Which, if you were intellectually consistent, would mean you should have a larger problem with that. After all, Sanders at least took questions.

It's fascinating just how often Clinton's supporters manage to forget what their own candidate has said and done.

[questionseverything]

98. she will not answer all questions,not about her son in law using her sos connection for business

http://www.businessinsider.com/ap-clinton-intervened-for-firm-after-email-from-son-in-law-2015-12

[MaggieD]

59. Hell, they didn't even ask him until he was walking away

It's not like they interrupted him. So much drama by the Bernie supporters here. Not Hillary's fault if he looks inept on issues like ISIS and FP. Not the fault of Hillary supporters either. So the whole premise of this thread is just ridiculous and defamatory.

[artislife]

71. Chewing gum is a disgusting habit. nt

[upaloopa]

11. You know as well as I that we care about Baltimore.

Lately all the anti Hillary posts are innuendo and taking things out of context. They aren't even pissing anyone off because they are so bogus.

That is very telling.

[Bread and Circus]

52. hmmm....it seems to me some people care way more about ISIS now

Why is that?

[in_cog_ni_to]

66. Because HRH is a warmonger and apparently, they haven't had enough of wars. n/t

[misterhighwasted]

103. Who's HRH?

[upaloopa]

68. because you made it up

[Bread and Circus]

83. Just going by what I read. I mean it used to be BLM 24/7 around here...now it's....

"nevermind that, let's talk about real world issues...ISIS!!!11!!!" 24/7

Someone here predicted that BLM would be dropped like a hot potato by the Clinton crowd when the next crisis du jour presented itself. Can't say I am happy they were correct.

[JaneyVee]

12. Excuse me?

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2015/05/hillary_clinton_baltimore_speech_the_candidate_embraces_police_reform_and.html

[GusBob]

13. Looking forward to a president who can handle domestic and foreign policy both

I don't think BS can do either. His campaign guy really messed up the show.

[Trajan]

30. That's nice

good bye ...

[KMOD]

37. Bingo.

[artislife]

72. True, he won't crack jokes about killing heads of states

Actually, he doesn't seem to find war or killing a laughing matter. Maybe he is just too serious.

[peacebird]

82. Exactly.

[Dawgs]

92. But you trust someone who voted for the Iraq war and loves trade deals.

That makes sense.

[misterhighwasted]

105. Iraq War thing again. You know that may open the door to.. bernies MIC F-35 Contract.

The war he brags about being against actually became a big MIC Contract grab for Sen Sanders' State of Vt. Much to Vermonters opposition, Sanders still brought home the big F-35 boondoggle billion $$ MIC Contract.
The same F-35 that fires 3300 rnds pr minute and is designed to kill anything in its path., including innocent children women men & animals.

Bernie's State profitted as well as Wall St Investors in Contractors, parts manufacturers & transporters.

Profit before people.
30% bernie beats his chest about his Iraq No vote, but refuses to talk about war, as though he is against war.
But of course any conversation that would expose his welcoming of the F-35 MIC Contract & would show us the side he clearly wants to keep off limits.

K?

[Dem2]

15. What an inappropriate thing to say!

You can't possibly believe this, why say it? Is it that important to boost your candidate by insulting others who obviously care about Baltimore and every other hurting inner city in this country?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. you missed the point

the Hillary supporters here were spinning the ISIS/CNN thing at the expense of the people of Baltimore City.

[Agschmid]

62. Your painting with far to broad a brush.

[WillyT]

16. C'Mon Rosa... They Don't Care About ANYTHING Other Than Winning...

Have you seen the blatant spin over the last month or two ???

And watch... It's gonna get worse... and more obvious.

Bookmark it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. It's It's

because I am actually here.

[WillyT]

19. Yes... Yes You Are... So Are We... We Got YOUR BACK !!!

[Skidmore]

116. Guess where I've been?

Out working for Hillary 2016. Going out again in about an hour. Have fun manning the keyboard. I'm gonna talk to real people and get more commitment cards and registrations out there. You have to get someone in office to start working on policies. Would be nice too if people were equally concerned about replacing the deadbeats in Congress. Just a thought.

[Scuba]

28. Why think about poor Americans when there's a boogie man to scare up MIC dollars?

[misterhighwasted]

106. Well lets talk about who's State benefitted by F-35 MIC Contracts.

Bernie sanders vote to fund the big pork filled War Bill, gave him a veritable buffet of MIC Contracts. Against Vermonters wishes, good old "against war and against wall st" Sen Sanders, welcomed the biggest overbloated MiC contract of all. The F-35

Not so much against War or Wall St MIC Contract Investors afterall.
Profit before People belongs to bernie sanders as well.
Its public record. He owns his lie.
Of course bernie wants to avoid war questions.
He jumped right in the MIC War Contracts like many did.
The hypocrisy is the problem with bernie sanders.

[Trajan]

29. I just iggied the first MOM supporter ...

The vicious Hillary supporters are long gone ... I couldn't care less what they think or say ...

[KMOD]

38. lol

I see nothing, I hear nothing, I say nothing.

[misterhighwasted]

120. Lol. We're not long gone. we've just moved on to the GE campaiign

..just like HRC.
Viscious..

[matt819]

32. They want a safe space

The oh-so-sensitive Hillary supporters want a safe space complete with trigger warnings and milk and cookies for snack time. The idiocy here is that most Bernie or Hillary supporters will vote for whoever gets the nomination. Surveys have indicated that upwards of 15% won't vote for Hillary; I haven't seen numbers for Hillary voters would wouldn't vote for Bernie. I liken the non voter demographic to the Ralph Nader voters in 2000.

So, no, I would prefer Bernie, I don't like the Hillary group here, and, yes, I will vote for her if she's the candidate.

[KMOD]

39. ...

[cui bono]

42. If Hillary gets the nom and loses the general (which I'm sure she would)

Last edited Wed Dec 9, 2015, 01:36 AM - Edit history (2)

it'll be Bernie supporters who get the blame when in fact it will be Hillary supporters' fault for voting for her in the primary. Give the people a candidate they can get behind. Give them the one that truly represents Democratic values.

There are people who LOATHE Hillary and will come out and vote against her even if they wouldn't have voted otherwise.

.

[SoapBox]

44. Yup.

[artislife]

73. I don't care if they blame us

Their sorrow is not my concern.

[darkangel218]

[cui bono]

101. Their fingers must be twitching and sending accidental alerts now.

I keep seeing sillier and sillier alerts these days, no one could be sending them on purpose.

.

[matt819]

132. Thanks for this

I've already been blocked from posting in the Hillary group, which prompted my post about safe spaces. And the alert just st highlights what I meant by safe space. What silliness.

[morningfog]

35. Or black lives. Otherwise they would support canning Rahm.

Instead of supporting continued confidence in him.

[artislife]

74. Interesting, isn't it...nt

[JohnnyRingo]

48. Now that's the way to win people over.

I don't imagine President Sanders will be considering you for a diplomat appointment.

[Starry Messenger]

50. Well, I would never be so crass as suggest Bernie supporters don't care about San Bernedino.

[MaggieD]

60. Exactly

[ErikJ]

54. Ghettos need Diversity and integration not just fresh produce.

And I'm a rabid Bernie supporter

[1StrongBlackMan]

112. Ghettos don't need diversity or integration ...

They need infrastructure and investment.

[ErikJ]

113. Like what? nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

117. Like an end to redlining ...

An end to the withdrawal of city services ... investments in infrastructure and education.

[ErikJ]

124. What kind of redlining?

I agree they need newer better schools but it will have to have more security guards/police because nobody can learn when discipline of classes is almost impossible for any teacher.

[1StrongBlackMan]

129. The kind of redlining that ...

Tags inner city businesses as "high loss risk" with no supporting data.

[ErikJ]

131. Probably mostly insurance rates too high.

Too many armed robberies and too much shoplifting in an area can make it too unprofitable to do business in that area because of very high liability insurance rates. The drug problem is probably what mostly fuels that.
If we ended the drug war and legalized drugs it would probably end the gang wars over drugs which would do a lot to help the situation.

[1StrongBlackMan]

133. Except the insurance companies can't/won't produce loss data

to demonstrate that ... rather they just say, "it's the ghetto ... what do you expect?"

But, none of that has anything to do with your diversity/integration solution.

White won't make it right.

[ibegurpard]

56. It's been apparent for a while now

that their "concerns" about whatever issue they are clucking about at the moment are dropped like hot potatoes when they are no longer useful for formulating political attacks against Clinton's opponents.

[azurnoir]

64. it became obvious #Black Lives Matter stopped mattering to Clinton's boosters

when they didn't endorse Clinton now ISIS is the flavor of the week next week who knows

[darkangel218]

67. It is pretty sad, isnt it..

[artislife]

75. ...and there it is.

[Live and Learn]

76. I haven't seen them all weigh in on this issue yet.

Maybe, just maybe some are sickened by the responses they have seen on this too. I keep wanting to hope that some of the posters I once agreed with on issues but lately have a hard time even recognizing from their posts has seen the light.

You know, the prodigal son, kind of thing. I would welcome them back with open arms.

[Number23]

110. Black Lives Matter has not and will not endorse anyone

But please, don't let that stop you from your "point" whatever it is.

This entire thread is disgusting. But not in any way surprising.

[azurnoir]

122. What is so disgusting about this thread?

my point is there is a reason that Hillary's boosters are referred to as Camp Weathervane

[Number23]

128. And I guess my point is that there is a reason that Sanders supporters have a really

well established reputation all up and down and over the entire Internet.

And this thread with the idiotic contention that Hillary supporters don't care about Baltimore and subsequent posts within that Hillary supporters no longer care about BLM because they "didn't endorse" Hillary even though they have said time and again as an organization they will not endorse anyone, is Exhibit 7,279,731 of why that is.

[darkangel218]

65. That really struck me, when I saw those comments earlier..

It left me SMH.

[RandySF]

77. This is the dumbest thing I've read yet on DU.

[Bluenorthwest]

89. I think it is in part a response to your own OP slamming Bernie for focusing on Baltimore and the

issues he was there to discuss with the Baltimore community:

"Bernie Sanders just disqualified himself as Commander in Chief"-Tue Dec 8, 2015, 06:07 PM
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251885890

So you were first on the spot with the hyperbolic characterizations and declarations such as that about our candidates but you expect that others will not respond in kind? That's super disingenuous if you ask me.

[RandySF]

93. And this is the problem with Bernie and most of you.

Bernie and his supporters only seem to be capable of handling one issue at a time when the POTUS has numerous issue on his/her plate at any given time. Yet, there we were with Bernie's press secretary telling reporters not to ask a single question about ISIS. He couldn't handle one question?

[Bluenorthwest]

99. My point is that you and this OP are basically vending the same goods, hyperbolic bashing of the

candidate they don't like. You of course add more personal insults because of course you can't defend your own contributions to the toxic word spill that DU is becoming. It's not impressive.

[RandySF]

78. Wall Street and CNN supporters?

WTF does that mean?

[Lil Missy]

79. Bernie eats Kittens.

So, nanny nanny boo boo to you too.

[Ali-96]

81. Don't slander Hillary supporters

Okay, WAY TOO FAR. I have so much respect for Hillary supporters because they are actually very close to Bernie supporters! We should embrace these people and introduce them to the reasons why Bernie is the best choice! No demagoguery, as Bernie says!

Hillary supporters, ignore this media stupidity and the vitriol towards you. Go and look up Bernie's stance on the issues and make up your minds. We need you on our side!

[Bread and Circus]

84. Given that you are new I appreciate the enthusiasm but if you think this discussion is about the

careful parsing of the issues then you have a lot of fun and discovery in store for you.

[SidDithers]

86. ...

Sid

[Bluenorthwest]

87. I think that is overstated, I'd say they just don't mind exploiting the people of Balitimore

in rhetoric that ranges from 'nothing is more important than these issues they face' to 'why talk about those problems when there is terrorism in the world'. It's a matter of making use of issues for one's own purpose rather than advocating issues with the goal of making progress on those issues.

I've been doing a great deal of reading about Baltimore, prompted by current events and the involvement of artists I know. Lots of major problems there, from lead paint poisoning to condemned buildings to lack of access to groceries, a lack of jobs. These things have to be addressed, they can not be put eternally aside while we focus on 'terror'. To do so would be morally reprehensible. Those who are calling for that are simply wrong, even from a national security point of view.

[AgingAmerican]

88. They can't grasp why Sanders doesn't drop everything

And run around with his hair on fire every time the word 'terrorism' is uttered.

[NCTraveler]

91. Obviously. Lol nt

[RandySF]

94. What's upsetting you folks

is Sanders being asked to handle more than one issue at a given time. And you know that foreign policy is a weak point. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run away. Sanders' press secretary told the press not to ask any ISIS questions. Why? Because he can't walk and chew gum?

[MineralMan]

96. Not necessarily. However, relatively few DUers live in the

Baltimore area. Where I live, we have equally serious problems in our cities. We're very concerned with them, too, but we're also able to be concerned about other issues at the same time. Here in the Twin Cities, we had a couple of racist morons shoot five people who were protesting in the street. We also just read about a former Minnesota resident being held for terrorism in Africa. Apparently, he's been recruiting people here in Minneapolis to join ISIS or some other terror group.

Multi-tasking. We need a President who can multi-task. Yes, we do.

Personally, I care about Baltimore. I care about problems in all urban areas. I care about lots of things at the same time. It is not a zero-sum thing.

[George II]

97. Rather presumptuous aren't you? Up until yesterday Sanders and his supporters...

...barely knew Baltimore existed.

Why, after 25+ years of working within about 30 miles of Baltimore is this suddenly an "issue" for Sanders? Shouldn't he have noticed the deplorable conditions there decades ago?

[misterhighwasted]

109. Its a pathetic attempt to now, in the middle of a crises of murders & refugees,

..to vie for media attention.
HRC is too far ahead to catch & Trump is sucking up all the media attention.
Funny that he thinks a visit to Baltimores poor commujities is going to be seen as anything but pandering for attention.
He had his opportunity to address AA groups.
He blew it off for a speech at the racist bigots of Liberty U.
That had a bigger impact than his walking off stage in their presence, twice.
Follw that event with an immediate stump speech at Liberty U, was a double slap in the face of those AA groups waiting to be heard.
Unfortunately, that is how they saw it, and that will never be forgotten.

Bernie is not Presidential material in a diverse America.
Not to the AA population.
No bandaid TV interview will ever fix that moment.
Its done & in the history books forever.

[1StrongBlackMan]

114. Yeah ... That Liberty Union thing was ...

A WTF moment for this Black man.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

119. And yet, you have enough...force of character to support Clinton. How old were you in 2008?

[1StrongBlackMan]

126. First, I don't support HRC ...

beyond not buying into the DU bullshit.

I was 47, and 25+ years of political activism, in 2008.

[Thinkingabout]

102. Are we to say every time I read negative post towards Hillary I can conclude Bernie supporters

does not care about people? Kinda a broad brush.

[misterhighwasted]

108. Well she never walked off stage in a huff .

You know the AA Group here on DU would happily answer you question.
Theres plenty of info out about her friendships & loyalty & comittments to their concerns.

[rhett o rick]

111. The conservative tough stand on drug laws has hurt the AA community disproportionally. The

police can use the power to target People of Color. HRC has always stood with the conservatives on tough drug laws. Even today when states are legalizing medical marijuana and recreational marijuana, she won't back down.

[1StrongBlackMan]

115. No we won't ...

At least this African-American won't ... not again, for the 895th time.

It is clear that what we say falls on deaf ears because DU:Bernie knows better than we do.

[misterhighwasted]

118. I hear ya 1strong. Am pretty certain they'd never approach your group for answers anyway

My apologies. If they don't know HRC's policies & loyalties by now, they just aren't interested in the truth.

It's too late for bernie to put that misstep back in the box & haul out an image re-do.

1&1/2 months till IOWA caucaus 1StrongBlackMan.
Then it becomes a different kind of fight.
We will get her to the White House

[1StrongBlackMan]

121. Actually ...

I'm just hoping that Martin O'Mallet can get some space ... he has plans and a track record of getting progressive stuff done.

[misterhighwasted]

125. I follow him also & I have much respect for his statements lately

I honestly have always liked him, & canmot understand why he polls so low.
He is far wiser & more trustable as a leader than sanders.
I do hope if HRC takes 2016, Martin O'Malley is given a position of dignity where his strengths can be benefit this country,.he has many.
He's a smart man.

[1StrongBlackMan]

127. I'm afraid MO'M is caught in that strange media space ...

where he is not in the conversation.

[CharlotteVale]

107. So I've noticed. Funny, isn't it?

123. And, as HRC's CONTINUED defense of the Omnibus Crime Bill of 1996 proves

HRC never really gave a damn about the fight against institutional racism, a fight HRC never participated in between 1972 and 2015, and a fight in which she was on the pro-institutional racism side when she helped found the DLC.

People who want the conversation to mainly be about ISIS no longer care about fighting social or economic injustice, because you can't obsess about terrorism and STILL care at all about those things(In this country, ISIS is basically a rich heterosexual white people's priority, because it doesn't affect anyone else here).
