In reply to the discussion: I'm curious: What is your end game with Bernie? [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)Are you my superior? Is that a function of your status as a Straight Sanctified Reagan Democrat or what? What do you claim gives you the right to speak dismissively to me?
My State is holding a Primary right now. The State where my family lives votes next month. You demand that we not vote? Upon what authority?
It's called democracy, it's called the primary process. Your cohort decided you needed to cling to the past, the anti gay, one man one woman Reagan praising Clinton. In 2008 when both candidates were opposed to equality I promised this Party I would never again vote for a primary candidate who had spewed religious intolerance against LGBT, and I won't. Thankfully Bernie is in the contest, I will deliver my Bernie Ballot to the Elections Office today.
What's your endgame? How are you going to excuse this:
"It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s and because of both president and Mrs. Reagan in particular Mrs. Reagan we started a national conversation, when before nobody would talk about it, nobody wanted to do anything about it, and that too is something I really appreciate with her very effective low-key advocacy. It penetrated the public conscience and people began to say, hey, we have to do something about this too."
Are you openly favoring Reagan over LGBT now or what? Is it that blatant? Because you never answered for that and none of her supporters did either. She has yet to face those lies and correct them in televised media because her supporters liked what she said.
