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.

It was easy in foresight, too, for those of us who were paying attention and thinking rationally.
Stupidity is not a defense for murder, and as I said I don't believe Hillary was stupid. She wasn't just basing her decision on the cable TV propaganda show, I think she knew what was going on and didn't care. Groupthink is not a defense for murder either.

The invasion of Iraq was the great moral question of our time and Hillary failed it completely.

(This isn't a pro-Sanders thing, btw. I swore in 2002 never to support anyone who voted for that crime.)
