Actual concrete action? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Perhaps the media, and certain candidates, should focus on the atrocities being committed in our name rather than labels.

"Corporate Democrats."

I think he's a little confused about what he needs to do to win the nomination, somehow.

....that he's created so we can all figure out what we are.

But the bottom line is, after the Convention next summer we'll all still call ourselves Democrats. Him?

What kind of a person switches parties willy-nilly simply for political gain?

Sad.

accurate.

but, but…

but Bernie not mentioning the atrocities against a singled-out ethnic group as despicable is showing a lack of leadership and a complete lack of sensitivity.

Bernie should take the lead on this issue instead of pussy-footing around it.

...is "insensitive" and "tone deaf"? Get a fucking grip.

in the terminology of "concentration camps"

It's good to know where candidates stand.

Sometimes it's easier to get eyes on something when you have a known two or three word phrase that really hits it. "Concentration Camp" does just that.

..are using that term for Trump’s immigration jails, as far as they know.

I will post it if there is an incidence of it.

Considering his family has history with actual, real Nazi's, I'm personally inclined to defer to his judgement about using the term (or not) in any instance.

His qualifiers show that he disagrees with AOC on this, but supports her otherwise.

It's like the word "holocaust." Technically it's mass death caused by a nuclear fire.

But words change, and that word changed forever after the Second World War. The same can be said of "concentration camp," which also forever changed its meaning after World War II.

"Ground zero" is an epicenter of a nuclear explosion. That term changed meanings for Americans after 9/11/01.

Some individuals who are suppose to be attuned to the sensitivities of people (so, not Republicans), really should be able to understand this already, and realize they made a mistake by using the term "concentration camp."

I am 100% behind AOC in this matter because her statements are factual and draw an important new light to a man-made crisis at the border which is driven by racist policies and proudly overt racism.

However, as AOC herself has said, we shouldn't get too caught up in the nomenclature. The term "Concentration Camps" is accurate but, if could close the camps just as fast by referring to them by another name, which draws similar attention, I'd have no objection, especially if the messenger had Holocaust survivors and victims in his family.

Only those as heartless as Trump & Miller would deny him that

His perspective may be a little different than keyboard warriors criticizing his chosen terminology. Show some fucking respect.

What's a bad look is pressuring the one Jewish candidate about concentration camps.
