They are interconnected, to an extent.
There are still two separate issues, the 3 strikes policy is the one quoted, and that covers far more than drugs.
Which is why I think the discussions should be separated when possible.
Hillary Clinton is basically a socially liberal fiscal conservative.
Great point. I'm sure many groups (from many different political angles) have failed to interrupt her events.

Well that was just me trolling, and probably not an effective means by which to engage in a respectable debate. I think that I was in a bad mood, haha.
Haha, I don't even know if I'd consider her that socially liberal

The only time I say her got criticized is when she said all lives matter thats about it as far as I know , and this here http://i.imgur.com/nC57vbs.jpg .
If they did, she'd freak out and break into her best Go Down Moses.

It seems extremely likely that this is the case, and disgusting if true.

I don't see any benefit from protesting Bernie that you don't already get from Bernie. You're converting someone to BLM who's already in BLM.
What benefit is there to protesting him? We know his track record, his current record: what will you get that you don't already receive from him? His supporters are most likely in your camp as well. So... what is it?

Socially liberal, moderately fiscal conservative.
Unless you are talking about worldwide terms.
Edit: I'd also say the distance between her and Republicans economically is larger than the distance between her and Sanders.
She has the money and resources that Bernie doesn't have.
Ok they are not helping the movement when they do shit like that. I didn't have an issue with the way they protested at Netroots Nation but this is kind of hard to defend.
How is it disgusting? Unless you are insinuating this was orchestrated by Soros as a way to attack Sanders on behalf of Clinton. There is absolutely no proof of that.

Hillary is socially liberal and a corporatist.
Haha, I don't even know if I'd consider her that socially liberal
Well, I don't think I know anything about Hillary's actual personal thoughts about ethnic and sexual minorities, but I doubt she would pursue campaigns of disenfranchisement against them in the way that any Republican candidate likely would. And her feminist posturing makes me hope that she'd push for some gender-egalitarian legislation.
It's not cryptic. They have a website with a list of demands and a mission statement. But maybe they're just looking for people who are rhetorically on their side.

I think they want an actual plan from him not just voice his support for somethings. Did he put out his own reform plans?
it's sad that's considered a liberal position in America.

Ok, but than what would you call Republicans?
We don't seem to be talking in relativity.
far right extremists. The two party system, more than anything else, has ruined American politics.

The problem I see with this is he will obviously champion your ideas. He doesn't have a concrete or well laid out plan, but his track record has shown he will champion the goals of minorities by voting, creating, and promoting bills that benefit minorities. That alone is easily more reassuring than a campaign plan.

Agreed. Leftism in the States basically not being a completely selfish asshole.

I feel like "basically" is being abusedA libertarian, basically.
Care to share a video where the part I quoted from the article in the OP is being shown? Yes the protesters are angry/screaming, but it doesn't explain why Bernie didn't wait to speak like benicillin's post does.
Unfortunately this explanation isn't what people are seeing vs headlines like:
"Protesters shut down Bernie Sanders rally"
Thankfully the headline didn't have the word "again" in it. What this headline needs to say is "Bernie responds to #BLM protesters" or something where it doesn't look like the protesters are causing Bernie to flee.

It will be interesting when all is said and done to see what's really been going on here.
Only serves to fuel the conspiracy theories people are having now about BLM.

That... makes even less sense. How would interrupting a Medicare and Social Security event help their cause. It's even more distant then interrupting a Sanders rally.

So Hillary bribed BLM to destroy Sanders and Trump to destroy politics

the trumpspiracy honestly sounds the more believable out of the two
I wouldn't even be mad if the latter was true :v
Thanks for posting this. I didn't realize.
Eh, I think both are very, very plausible. Trump going third party will ensure her presidency, and although I doubt Clinton is scared of Bernie Sanders, she'd certainly like to take him down a peg.
Crazy, Bernie supports criminal justice reform and went to jail over the civil rights issues in the 60s. What more do they want from him? For that to be his entire platform? If ANYONE is going to help their cause at this point from the major candidates, its him and now they are crashing his events and screaming in his face?

Trump being an under cover agent seems more likely then this bullshit the Right Wind Media and the Washington Times is pushing.
It is the Machurian Candidate for real.

I don't dispute that Sanders is the best candidate for BLM, but it sounds so silly when you say "he's doing this one thing now and he did this one thing then! What more do you want??"
It may be unrealistic to expect a platform based on black issues, but it's not unreasonable to want it.
Very useful. Thanks for the perspective.
That's why I said "kind of". Black Lives Matter (and the feelings that precipitated its formation) is legitimate and sincere, but Soros is financially invested in the group, and I would not be surprised if his recent donations came with a caveat that BLM organizers avoid Hillary Clinton's events.

That's really another interesting discussion.
Do you push for realistic goals, or untenable goals? Especially for an issue that is not a civil rights issue (edit: where there is no clear end game of equal rights).
How many groups is Soros invested in? I think that makes a difference, especially when trying to use it as a conspiracy theory.
Or Hilary having been doing these type of events for literally decades has a better security squad.
