Using racism, sexism, LGTB discrimination, and immigrants to defend the Big Banks

which have HARMED all of these groups is a prime example of what their money buys. Because otherwise, no one would make such arguments.

"If we broke up the big banks tomorrow would that end racism?" she said recently. "Would that end sexism? Would that end discrimination against the L.G.B.T. community? Would that make people feel more welcoming to immigrants overnight?"

it was because Pharmaceutical and insurance companies were causing death and suffering instead of health and healing. AIDS activists did yearly actions on Wall St, hundreds were arrested.

This took place during the period of time in which Hillary believes the LGBT community did nothing at all to fight AIDS, she claims only Ron and Nancy Reagan had that courage.

NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL!
Come to Wall Street in front of Trinity Church
at 7AM Tuesday March 24 for a
MASSIVE AIDS
DEMONSTRATION
AIDS IS THE BIGGEST KILLER IN NEW YORK CITY
OF YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN.
Tell your friends. Spread the word. Come protest together.
7 AM ... March 24 ... You must be on time!
AIDS IS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS NOW.

It is a simple truth. She's pointing out that Bernie is a one-issue candidate. Breaking up the big banks will not make abortion more available. It will not stop police violence against Black people. It will not magically make homophobia and xenophobia disappear overnight.

What your post shows is that nothing Hillary says is acceptable to Bernie supporters. There is nothing she can say that will be acceptable to them, except perhaps "I give up." How feminist, isn't it!

Why do you have to lie about him? Isn't the truth enough to promote your chosen candidate?
