this is ALL politics. this is all democratic politics. this is a democratic board.

yes, i am talking about du dynamics. it is a necessary discussion, as we sit on a political discussion board, walking into 2016 elections.

it is not meta.

this is about, in my opinion, populist vs progressive, within the democratic party. we experience this on du. a democratic board. our party. our positions.

170. here is the thing, all you that immediately jumped on my ass cause i called populist...

white, man, middle/upper middle class, and our privileged, educated youth movement.

you are making your privilege more important than human lives.

that is a misstep. really. you do not want to demand privilege in front of lives. you are hurting sanders. you want to be inclusive, not exclusive and build your demographics, not shrink demographics. simple math

and over three weeks? it sits there for all to see. we watch us create this exclusive campaign of populist.

you reject whole swaths.... of votes.

87% of black vote. i mean all... go into the thread and listen to our black members tell you about being black. that might be a starter for a reality check. you can still pull the sander campaign out of limited, into unlimited..... if your choose inclusive and stop rejecting others voices.

but. you are not willing to do it.

when i point out the lives of our young black men. our girls and women. that are dying. women imprisoned because of their body. gays... without basic fuckin HUMAN rights.

and your argument is

by gosh..... 'if i do not get what i want, i am gonna show that damn democratic party. i refuse to vote democratic cause i am better than that! '

arent you saying fuck all those lives?

and also saying....

you are on the moral high ground?

this makes no sense and there is plenty of factual information to back up this trajectory that you are on, what the populist is creating here. what is being done is not gonna work. not kinda or sorta. but you are gonna piss a lot of people off. you know. those of us with sons that may be shot in the back by a police. those of us with daughters that might take a hanger to themselves. or have to register their miscarriage. or carry a rapists baby and live that for life.

do tell me how cavalier i am with lives. explain this to me.

when you state you will not vote for clinton if she wins the primary, you shun lives being lost.

personally. in real life. that is when i say. how dare you....
