      This is interesting. I have to say, I really don't understand a mindset that is more bothered by slurs (as bad as they are) than by launching unnecessary wars that get hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed (war which are also, in fact, racist).

          the implied argument is, i think, that wars are sometimes necessary/good and so any given war is a judgment call, whereas there's no reason to ever be racist or use slurs.

          I suspect the (particularly LGBT) people I see who are pissed know that the progressive coalition is their only option, and any little sign that their fears aren’t foregrounded is evidence of their relative weakness compared to independents the movement needs to secure power.

          Hey you can still support bernie and question something he said or did. These convoluted justifications are tiresome and not helping your candidate.

          A lot of Sanders supporters (not all) don't want to hear that. It's perfection or nothing, so they can slam all the other candidates to the degree they deviate from his shining example.

          Yeah, bc racism never gets anyone killed on a large scale. That’s the problem with leftists. Black folk are concerned with surviving the day, HERE, in our home. Racism exists through law enforcement, the courts, employers, teachers and you want us to focus on wars abroad? GTFOH.
