[strikeselect]

Yes, poor white people.

 

[Zyae]

is this a real question

 

[brochiller]

Jesus fuck Bernie

What happened?

 

[Eidan]

Wall Street is a powerful bogeyman for Sanders.

 

[Spider from Mars]

He was going well with the answer until he suddenly switched to economics

That's all he has.

 

[TheChits]

This is such a good answer, Hill.

Proud of both of my Dems tonight.

Yeah they are both doing well.

 

[nib95]

BERNIE! You didn't even go three words before going in on Wall Street on a question about race!

Bernie links everything to Wall St.

But it's true, the crash affected minorities the most. It's essentially pseudo economic racism.

 

[Makai]

ANd Bernie just fucked up

the "hanging out on the street corner" trope , really?

They were hanging on the corner of Main and Wall

 

[Big Baybee]

ANd Bernie just fucked up

the "hanging out on the street corner" trope , really?

I cringed

 

[ThisGuy]

Yes, poor white people.

Poor white people don't have it great. Or do you believe they do?

 

[Abinash117]

I like this question about white Americans you don't even hear it in the GOP debate.

 

[ivysaur12]

Great answer from a potentially problematic question.

 

[legacyzero]

Ive been saying this since many debates ago. Bernie really needs to come off message a bit, and be a little more flexible in his speech

 

[gutter_trash]

#whitepeopleproblems

there are poor white people, there are lot of poor white people

 

[zelas]

"...don't they have a reason to be resentful?"


WHAT????

 

[Tabris]

Revitalize coal country? Koch brother funding?

 

[Tesseract]

That's all he has.

no it's not, don't do this

 

[User 463088]

Tacking to Wall St on a race relations question is... eh...

Tacking to Wall St from anything is Bernie Sanders.

 

[Brinbe]

this is a tough question

and bernie looks shook.

 

[Ashodin]

white men suicide a lot bro

we almost had one today from that guy in Oregon, thankfully he walked out

 

[SolarPowered]

Yeah, what I saw in Furgeson was disgusting. I didn't even know anyone else had that kinda stuff save the Military.

What doesn't go to the army, Saudi Arabia or other allies has to be used somewhere.

:|

they should merge both candidate into one

Bernarry Clindars

And her name will be Hernie...

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Sanders fucked up. Asked a question abit race relations, and immediately started with a spiel about wall street. Black people do not want to hear that their problems are the same as other people because they know they are not.

 

[DMczaf]

Let's dispel with this fiction that Wall Street doesn't know what they doing. They know exactly what they doing.

 

[kirblar]

Great answer from a potentially problematic question.

Agreed.

 

[Zyae]

Bernie links everything to Wall St.

Because everything is linked to wall street

 

[Trojita]

How do you help a coal community though?

 

[SURGEdude]

Poor white people don't have it great. Or do you believe they do?

Yeah, any decline in life expectancy is concerning.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Wall Street is a powerful bogeyman for Sanders.

 

[pigeon]

Good targeting here by Hillary. Appalachia is a locus of disaffected white people who used to be Democrats. Demonstrates that she understands the issue and also attempts to target and wake up the people they're hoping will be "Hillary Democrats."

How do you help a coal community though?

Well, okay, socialism is the right answer here. Awkward!

 

[disastermouse]

Hillary looks bad with that collar. I don't know what it is, but it screams 'elite and out of touch'. She's gotta work on her smile, too - she just looks smug. I know it comes from usually being the smartest person in the room, but it plays terribly on TV.

 

[Raxus]

I really feel bad for coal mining families. Stuck in an industry rapidly going the way of the dinosaur no matter how much you support it.

 

[mightynine]

Let's dispel with this fiction that Wall Street doesn't know what they doing. They know exactly what they doing.

heh heh heh

 

[RustyNails]

How do you help a coal community though?

Retooling trade skills for clean energy initiatives for one.

 

[Ragnarsson]

This is so much better than the GOP debates. I don't mean this as a cheap shot. Real problems are being addressed by both candidates.

 

[ivysaur12]

I really wish Sanders hasn't tacted back to Wall St. on race relations.

 

[B-Dubs]

Because everything is linked to wall street

Even cops pulling over a black dude for driving a nice car? That has nothing to do with wall street.

 

[The Technomancer]

How do you help a coal community though?

Yeah I think I missed that. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume its not by "bringing back coal power" but you could read it that way

 

[Izuna]

Pause...

What is Hillary doing? Did she just take the bait?

 

[JABEE]

How did Wall Street lead to single parent homes?

Income inequality leads to poverty, poor education, and general hopelessness.

 

[Tesseract]

this is why you gotta raise everyone up, free college for everyone via khanacademy

 

[AlphaDump]

oh jesus, they are trying to place it on a tee for him. went straight back to wall street again...

 

[massoluk]

Hillary is really really good at making acceptable answer to tricky question... and oh jesus fuck, not Wall Street again.

 

[SURGEdude]

WTF did Hillary just say white people are the worst off?

 

[studyguy]

I feel Wall Street coming.

 

[pigeon]

Hillary looks bad with that collar. I don't know what it is, but it screams 'elite and out of touch'. She's gotta work on her smile, too - she just looks smug. I know it comes from usually being the smartest person in the room, but it plays terribly on TV.

If this is your criticism for this debate I have to interpret that as a huge win for Hillary so far.

 

[kirblar]

Pause...

What is Hillary doing? Did she just take the bait?

She's not. She's referring to real stats that show increased mortality rates among poor whites.

 

[Ashodin]

Uhhh... we're talking about white people right?

 

[Trojita]

I really feel bad for coal mining families. Stuck in an industry rapidly going the way of the dinosaur no matter how much you support it.

And being brainwashed by the coal business owners.

 

[LaNaranja]

You do know black students are punished at a higher rate then other students right, and funneled into the from the kindergarden to jail pipeline?

If she had explicitly said something about the school to prison pipeline or even just a quote from Michelle Alexander I would have been more impressed. Although maybe she doesn't want to talk about her.

 

[ivysaur12]

Yeah I think I missed that. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume its not by "bringing back coal power" but you could read it that way

I think she said coal communities. iirc, her plan clean energy in coal communities.
