it was to hook up with cornel west, who's now known for smearing President Obama with racial slurs for over 7 years?!

Whoever it was.. obviously had no clue how much so many African Americans had no use for him after the way he attacked President Obama. Or maybe they did know but didn't think it wouldn't matter because.. #berniesopure? It showed an incredible lack of awareness.

THE HILLARY GROUP. Hi---I am just back today after being "ALERTED" and then kicked off the DU by a jury vote of 5 to 2. I am a new member of DU and had only posted 3 times all here in the Hillary "Safe Haven". I thought since this group is supposed to be only for Hillary supporters that I could say something about being dismayed about a person/people who call themselves Democrats but keep repeating Republican right wing talking points. I couldn't have been more wrong about that. I am feeling a little worried about about posting anything now. I cried a little bit when I saw my my account had been "suspended pending review" but then I bought some Hillary 2016 bumper stickers on Ebay, made my first contribution to her campaign, listened to some Beatles and got some hugs from my husband. I also found a nice site ---I think it is called Reddit. They are almost totally pro-Hillary, so I hung out there until this morning when I got a message that my account is opened. I hope I haven't said anything in this post that will get me suspended. If anyone here in the Hillary Group has any advise for me about why I was targeted and how to keep it from happening again...please feel free to tell me. I'm not really sure why it happened. Sorry this is so long... Ive been saving it up for 2 days!! PS Thank u to the two jurors who stood up for me!! They may have been outvoted but their words of support made me feel a lot better.

make some insane comparison between BS & Obama, and my first thought was that Nina has just lost all perspective. Of course, Jennifer Granholm brought the conversation back down to earth. Nina should be ashamed. The folks they are fleecing for a pipe dream could probably use their hard earned dollars for something a lot more useful than BS flying his family off for a private chartered $600k day trip to the Vatican.

White Women voters. We only seem to prefer Hillary over Bernie by one percentage point. Very selfish in our privilege we are!

I salute Black Women, Latina Women and Black Men for choosing correctly from the get-go!

I am slightly comforted in that the few white women I know personally who support Bernie in the primaries (most women of any race/ethnicity whom I know support Hillary) do not hate Hillary at all and will support her when she is the Dem nominee. I also know that some of the Bernie supporters have recently changed their opinions about Bernie, although they have already voted for him. How this may affect future voting patterns will be interesting to see.

Thanks for posting, Cha!

TIP FOR SANDERS CAMPAIGN STAFF: When you "brainstorm" you're supposed to ELIMINATE the bad ideas and build on the good ones. It doesn't mean you use EVERY idea and throw it out there for everyone to consume. Just because a Bernie fan THOUGHT of it, doesn't necessarily mean that it's actually smart or correct.
