Why Is Bernie Sanders Against Reparations?

quote [ The Vermont senator’s political imagination is active against plutocracy, but why is it so limited against white supremacy? ]

This is the real problem with the left. Not the refusal to give a platform to the right, but the refusal to accept incrementalism and do the work necessary to improve the world. We sabotage our allies if they refuse to take up our own pet causes.

Eh, sorry no. Reparations or no, Bernie's support remains exceedingly narrow- not even close to the broad, diverse coalition Obama built in 08. Realistically he has no chance (barring some kind of catastrophe that breaks Hillary). Hope and dream all you want, but I'd strongly advise against putting money on him.
