Especially black folks, of course, for daring to not bow down to Bernie Sanders and -- GASP!!! -- actually ask questions about the man? Who the FUCK are these people???
They see the polls that show Hillary WIPING THE DAMN FLOOR with Bernie Sanders among minority communities and women so what is their winning tactic on DU? Shit on the few remaining black posters that still post here (unless we're one of the 2-3 that approve of their tactics), keep INSISTING that black folks only support Hillary because of "name recognition" when that's been debunked about a hundred times by now, all while screaming that Bernie is the "perfect" candidate running the "perfect" campaign and because he marched with MLK 55 years ago, that somehow PROVES he cares about black people and our issues in 2015.
I saw that OP yesterday and just rolled my eyes and came back out of the thread. The only thing worse than ignorance is WILLFUL, deliberate ignorance. This place is crawling with it. And I've spoken so many times about how sick I am of numbnuts misappropriating and misusing MLK. If these folks had the numbers and the support in the real world, you could understand why they'd be acting this way but they have neither.
Bernie Sanders better come and do something about his "supporters." They are RUINING him and his chances. I said to Starry Messenger yesterday how can someone with such a socially conscious history have such foul and UNsocially conscious supporters?? There is a huge disconnect somewhere.
