The article from the previous post points out many of Sanders' vulnerabilities -- liabilities that
less media coverage has allowed to go unnoticed -- including opposing
public schools (as well as some somewhat salacious views that I'm sure
Trump would have no problem exploiting).
Has Sanders changed his mind on those things?
As a public school
teacher, I sure hope so!
If we don't allow politicians to change their
minds, what good does it do to politic at all?
Why try to persuade
anybody if it's already a zero sum game?
Do you think that maybe
Clinton's changing her party affiliation due to her exposure to MLK and
the Civil Rights movement informs her decision to change her mind in
the present?
Yes, some Sanders supporters are "die hard," but that's
what I don't get. Is being so tribal really a good thing? Doesn't that
just allow us to play in a fantasy world where there is One True Hero
and all the "others" villains?
Do Liberals really think the world is so
black and white? Aren't we, the Liberals, interested in nuance and
shades of grey?
Does this lizard brain mentality allow for human
foibles or does it only facilitate dehumanization of people (even ones
on our side) allowing us to call The Others "leeches" and magically
granting us the ability to mind read Others' motives and "secret agendas?"
As I asked before, aren't BOBs purest of pure ideals ultimately going
to harm the most vulnerable in our country?
Isn't that the opposite of
Sanders' message and the definition of privilege?
