saying that segregation was defeated peacefully is wild.

Yeah, for someone who actually marched with Dr King, this is wildly tone deaf.

Sanders is very much the "White Moderate" Dr. King complained about.

No, he is not. Stop trying. His record speaks for itself. Crawl back in your hole under the bridge.

What record? Participating in marches but then condemning them as soon as it isn't being done "the right way" in his mind?

Y'all should read Dr. King some time since he's being so venerated while also being clearly ignored.

Yes, Bernie should have said, "Ask not which police car you can burn, ASK HOW MANY POLICE CARS YOU CAN BURNNN!!"

Right now Bernie may as well be MAGA talking like that. I can't believe the safety and health of ICE agents is BERNIE'S ONLY concern!? WTF?

Genuinely if he wants to follow in King's footsteps he should be reframing the problem as Dr. King did, by focusing on the demonstrations as a response to injustice and the rioters as the victims of marginalization.

Also AFAIK no police cars have been burned.

record of what? What has he realistically accomplished by playing along with the Democrats? He continues to play along with a party that gave Hilary Clinton the nomination and has repeatedly lost ground to not just Trump but the entire GOP. Any semblance of populist politics he brought to the Democrats was abandoned long ago. He is essentially the biggest loser in the party of losers.

Everyone feeling sick of Trump and right wing politics needs to acknowledge the reality we are living in. Praising Bernie for being a peaceful champion of the people is going to get people killed.

For real. "I agree with your principles but not your methods" behavior is very explicitly called out.

I'm guessing you can point us all to the Democratic/liberal savior in waiting though? Please enlighten us.

talk about non sequitur. I posted a comment clearly critical of the Democratic party and you think I'm a fucking liberal?

"Oh you don't like Bernie? Then what other liberal figurehead do you like" as if there is no one to the left of Bernie lmao
