My point exactly. I do take back the neo-con label--yes he wanted America to take a leadership role in world affairs, but he didn't want to escalate every conflict into open warfare and warned against the military-industrial complex becoming too strong (and Reagan helped his prophecy ring true.)
This I see is why you just did a "Haha" on my post. Whatever dude, you talked to many on Facebook, OK.There are many, many supporters of Bernie Sanders who are honest-hearted, believe in fair play and equality.
What most will not believe or accept is the sad truth that many Bernie supporters proved downright intolerant, vicious and racist to the bone.
I learned this by talking to so many on Facebook. I could not believe the hatred many of them exhibited for Blacks and other People of Color, the dismissal of viewpoints different from their own and the attitude that Barack Obama's two triumphs on his way to the Oval Office were no big deal.
After realizing this, I began noticing the lack of respect most had for those who were older, the disdain for honest dialogue and the wholesale acceptance of the worst lies about Hillary.
It was not just the relentless trashing of Hillary, it was the continuous bashing of the Democratic Party as if the decades of struggle to thwart the worst of the Right meant nothing. Barack was nothing special. I completely disagree.
The only things that counted were Bernie's ideas. A guy I learned to despise after his advice to Black America in the face of rampant and escalating police brutality when he had the fucking nerve to say: "Black people need to be polite to police."
Even when most Blacks are polite to cops, many of us still get shot or beaten.
Finally, someone had the gonads to tell the ugly truth about Bernie supporters and progressives in general. They're impressed only with their own power.
Which is why Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez continues to show her contempt for Black men by attacking NYC Mayor Eric Adams in public. Instead of back channeling her angst. When she first burst on the scene, AOC had a PAC called Justice Democrats.
Her PAC targeted several House members for defeat who didn't her share Socialist viewpoints. All were elected Black men.
Why did many Bernie Bots feel the way they do? They never cared about people such as me in the first place.
He's probably referring to this:

The Twitter-sphere had a field day with it, I guess.
Thank you very much.He's probably referring to this:
Bernie Sanders tells student to respect police officer "so that you don't get shot in the back of the head"
At the Second Step Presidential Justice Forum at Benedict College, Sanders told a black college student to be "polite" if he gets pulled over.
The Twitter-sphere had a field day with it, I guess.
Same basic question for Biden (from the same article)
Yeah, this was shocking. I get that the first 4 cops had a momentary lack of courage when all those shots range out. But a few minutes later when reinforcements came in, they still hesitated and (wft) the two guys with the ballistic shields were at the back of the group moving forward 😲. There are companies in the US they provide excellent training for the police to act rationally - despite high stress situations, like with active shooters, rapid threat assessment (gun or cell phone) and improved tactical awareness and communication. As happened under the Clinton administration with a bill to hire 100,000 extra police officers to deal with the crack cocaine/drug violence situation (yes it was flawed) - I think given the situation wrt mass shooting in the US, we need to fund the training of 100,000 officers in the above listed categories. It could jump start a substantial change in police preparedness.Holy shit .. they just stood there...
CNN breaks down key moments in the 77-minute surveillance video of Uvalde school shooting | CNN
CNN's Laura Coates and Shimon Prokupecz are joined by Andrew McCabe and Charles Ramsey to break down the surveillance footage of the Robb Elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.www.cnn.com
Or we could get rid of the guns and then we wouldn't have to train police for these scenarios except for a select few
True, but Im not holding my breath. With the 2A in the constitution, the present interpretation of that amendment, and the history of gun own ship in the US, overcoming that it’s like trying to climb Mount Everest in a bikini and flip flops.
Just shows the selfishness of gun nutters. MUH RIGHTS. MUH FREEDUMS!!!! Who cares about the innocent child. BUT WE'RE 'MURICA!!!!!! THE FREEST NATION IN THE WORLD!!!!! Like really, Switzerland and Canada waves hi. Like voluntary give up your guns to show you're a compassionate nation.
I wondered why they keep pushing that one officer back. I thought, maybe his wife was a teacher in there.OK this is interesting.
What we learned from the Uvalde shooting video, and what remains unknown | CNN
The video of law enforcement response to the Robb Elementary School shooting sheds no light on why officers waited so long to confront the gunman, nor does it reveal who was responsible for the delay. In fact, the video raises more questions than answers.
That video is disturbing enough without this added piece of information.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
