Hillary Clinton is going to lose: She doesn’t even see the frustrated progressive wave that will nominate Bernie Sanders

Okay I am just going to ignore how uppity and quick to take offense you are... wait, no I'm not.

Seriously, though; that offends you? By saying "paint" him black or brown, I'm (quite obviously) saying if he were black or latino, he'd automatically have the attention of those two communities, even if he had a radically different agenda -- even if it were worse for those communities. Case in point: Hilary. All she has offered, as far as your "immigration, war on drugs, black lives matter, or gender equality" are concerned, is the same bullcrap rhetoric the rest of the useless democrat twats in government have already touted. They all say it; nothing changes.

Sanders has a record to back up his statements, and based on his campaign so far I have a hard time imagining he'd be anything but FOR massive, positive reform in all of the areas you mention. If nothing else, he gets people to acknowledge stagnation in government and push for reform themselves, thereby getting us a step closer to fixing the issues we have surrounding those topics.

What is Hillary going to do besides offer the same tired false hope while getting nothing accomplished? At this point, just about any change would be good, and Bernie offers positive change. If he can shake up the political landscape, the benefits will be seen on all of your most important issues because something might actually be done about them.

Yet, again, you won't see Bernie get the nomination because he's and old WHITE man, and the country is very vocal right now about its distaste for politicians of that flavor. So, yeah, PAINT HIM BLACK OR BROWN and he'd immediately have a sympathetic ear. And that's disgusting. It pretty much sums up why we can't get shit done in the first place. Folks don't vote on issues, they vote on popularity. Obama as a white man may have still won the 2008 election, but you'd be a damned fool to think he'd have the unwavering support of the black community regardless of ethnicity.

I'm not apologizing for my phraseology, and I don't need to justify it to you. Take your delicate sensibilities elsewhere.
