is there an uglier tone than that which hides behind racism?

[reddread]

pathetic, phony remarks about whiteness in supporters.

that is racist campaigning.

but the silliest thing so far is the massive hypocrisy about tone control.

congratulations, you worthless contributors to an important dialogue.

1. Calling blacks that didn't vote for Bernie "low information voters" is actual racism.

"White people are under siege" is another right-wing talking point being echoed by Libertarians for Bernie around here.

2. did that come from the Sanders campaign?

or did someone on the internet say something?

3. Not if you consider anyone who votes for her...

...a low information voter. For my part, I don't think many low information voters support her...I think many mis-informed voters vote for her.

Also, this article (http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/la-na-sanders-black-voters-20160226-story.html), in the first few paragraphs outlines the name recognition problem Sanders has faced in South Carolina and other locations. Is that enough to label someone "low information"? I'll leave that up to others.

4. If voters don't know your candidate, that is your candidate's fault. That's what campaigning is for

Your candidate is bad, and you should feel bad.

[TCJ70]

5. Can't reach everyone face to face...

...and if people aren't willing to take time to look into things, that's on them.

[CalvinballPro]

6. Again, your candidate is bad and you should feel bad.

Stop blaming voters for your bad candidate. It is up to your candidate to convince people to take a look at him. If they choose otherwise, it's his failure. People have the right to not support a candidate, even if they "take time to look into things."

You're just unable to process that people could see Bernie's record and find it insufficient evidence that he's ready to be President. Your error, not anyone else's.

7. you can type that?

I hope to see you repeat the feat after the next few results roll in.

process that.

[TCJ70]

8. I will question voters who don't take time to look into candidates...

...yet vote anyway. There isn't anything wrong with that and you're being awfully personal about this.

Given his low name recognition at the start of the campaign I think Sanders has done fairly well getting himself out there. Whether it's enough remains to be seen. That is a separate issue from people like the one in the article who will not take time to do their own looking, something we should encourage everyone to do no matter where your decision ultimately ends up.

Do you believe that all Hillary supporters are fully informed in every way possible? Do you believe that about Sanders supporters?

[CalvinballPro]

10. You're maligning people for not living like you, don't whine about it being "personal."

Assuming that everyone has the same time, access, or inclination that you do about politics is a mistake on your part. You seem as bad at this argument as your candidate is at campaigning, and that's saying something because Bernie Sanders is really bad at campaigning.

The right to vote is not subject to a pop quiz. What you're talking about sounds disgustingly like a political literacy test, which has been outlawed, in case you forgot. But why should I be surprised that someone who disrespects black voters wants to re-institute literacy tests for voting?

I can vote whether I know all the candidates and their positions or not, and you have no say in whether that's right or wrong. Because my rights are not subject to your, or anyone's, approval. You do not get to decide, unilaterally, that black voters are "uninformed" because they didn't vote for Sanders. For all you know, they read all about him and still didn't want to vote for him.

Politics is not your parents. It owes you nothing, and will not placate you to make you feel better.

[TCJ70]

11. That's an awful lot of assumptions about me in one post...

...and they're all too ridiculous to even respond to. Literacy tests? Restricting voters? Nothing of that sort is in any of my posts.

9. Racism as it applies to white people in America is not possible.

I thought the term you guys used is "reverse racism".

[reddread]

12. sorry, Ive been to LexVegas

great place to purchase slaves back in the day.
I dont think the descendants are quite over it yet.
I never really felt the results of racism until I ended up there.
nobody is immune from being judged by the color of their skin.
it is never the correct thing to do, and no Democratic Party members
should be playing with those cards.

[LexVegas]

13. White people in the USA can be racists, not minorities. Racism is practiced by those in power.

Sorry that this gives some people a sad.

[reddread]

14. thats the single biggest load of bullshit ever dumped.

Id say consider yourself discredited and ignored,
but
you really never had much credibility.

[reddread]

16. and completely racist

thats the problem with racists working the race game.
they do not know which end is up
because they have to lie to themselves the whole time.

[LanternWaste]

15. Is this in reference to POC being called "low information voters?"

Is this in reference to POC being called "low information voters", "suffering from Stockholm Syndrome", or supporting South Carolina's "master-slave relationship?"

[LexVegas]

17. No. Its whining about "reverse racism". nt

[reddread]

18. comprehension would reveal the topic is racist campaigning

enjoy your fruit

[jillan]

19. Agreed esp when many of those same posters mention Bernie's religion here & on twitter...I have seen

a couple of really ugly anti-semitic rants...

but we are supposed to overlook those.

[reddread]

20. thats a no no here

but doubtless the same school of fish.
