Black people aren't a hive mind and bernie sanders has engaged them more than any other candidate at present, just fyi

Actually the blacks are a hivemind I know this because these protestors represent the views of the black lives matter movement as well as that of the black political monolith when they called Sanders a white supremacist progressive

Legitimate grassroots activism has a lot of problems. Protests need the support of idiots, but when you don't have real organization or visible leadership, those idiots can end up loving up your image and messaging while having no less legitimacy afforded to them as anybody else within the movement. Youtube has made it a lot easier for that to happen.

Protests are supposed to win people over to your cause and/or intimidate the opposition enough for them to make concessions. You ain't gonna get far if you're just making an embarrassing spectacle of yourself and annoying people.

Bernie Sanders is the most progressive left leaning politician to come along in literally decades and huge swaths of self described 'liberals' won't support him because they think he isn't pushing hard enough on petty poo poo like labeling GMOs or crazy poo poo like advocating for a full communist takeover of the government.

You too will give up on life and just expect that all is lost and any hope of sanity will be brushed aside by people louder and stupider than you. I wish I could get angry about it, but I honestly can't because it makes I'm just so drained of hearing stuff like this :(

that falls under the umbrella of "self-obsession." by the way, say what you want about Lena Dunham (and i do, on a fairly regular basis, because she's a braindead moron), but at least reproductive rights is a pet issue for her

today's feminism is either getting angry at pop culture minutae or sheryl sandberg corner office bullshit. both of them make second-wave feminism look radically inclusive by comparison. but they're not interested in making a difference because

White liberals are often racist, but all of the active racism comes from the right wing, be it columns about how Mexicans are rapists and blacks are intellectually inferior, or gofunmes for murderous cops.



Bernie Sanders is a hundred year old man who talks about making sure the working class can eventually retire.
