You bring up jews and people of color frequently but I never mentioned Jews. You did NOT me

I donā€™t bring it upā€¦you do. You still have not even supported any of bookers policies. Do you even know them?

If youā€™re going to use Louis Farrakhan, an anti Semitic, itā€™s a perfectly fair question to ask you about it.

You see how Iā€™m questioning Bookers policies and political history. You are the only one bringing race of the candidates from the very first post.

Eh, unfortunately itā€™s Politico. Thatā€™s pretty hardcore Democrat propaganda, that mag is. I have no doubt Cory Booker comes out smelling and looking great by the end.

Do you have anything with a stronger whiff of political independence?

You know much about the great Louis Farrakhan. You seem to dislike helping people of color, muslims and have a deep knowledge of Farakhan. What do you think of Catholics?

But Iā€™m a person of color in the USā€¦I donā€™t want to help myself?

I doubt outside of the USA many Muslims have heard of him. Some have though.

Sounds like a charmer.

No to Booker. Iā€™d go for Kamala because she was a cop.

They donā€™t support him because according to the nation Islam, Elija Muhammad, their late leader was a prophet of Allah. For Muslims, the prophet Mohammad is the last and final prophet.

Nation of Islam also seem to forget, Mohammad was a slave owner and a black slave owner. He would trade 2 black slaves for 1 Arab slave because blacks were worth half of a Arab.

Which is a sad truth about Muhammad Ali. His former name was Cassius Clay, named after a prominent abolitionist. He would change it to Muhammad and his sons name Ali, who are both black slave ownersā€¦the nation is Islam lies.

Was wondering what happened to this thread. So glad itā€™s back!

My reply was removed so i shall not waste my time writing replies although i would be happy to continue if allowed free speech. But not here. At least you can put up a good fight. Enough for me on this thread if Iā€™m censored on it. We are used to it.

Iā€™m hoping that by late spring 2020 we finally get some closure here, to see The Who Is A More Minor Minority Fight to the Death among the Democrat hopefuls. I think it just might come down to Kamala ā€œKneesā€ Harris, Cory ā€œSpartacusā€ Booker, and Elizabeth ā€œPocahontasā€ Warren.

Cage match!

What about Bernard ā€œBernieā€ Sanders?

Socialists are a minority in the US, true enough. But I think the serious money comes down to race among Democrats. In 2020, anyway.

Minorities can win after all your darling Trump lost the popular vote

Sez yer privilege. :whistle:

A couple of other nice pieces

Yet Mr Booker is patently a heavyweight, and one Mr Trump might struggle against. The presidentā€™s eagerness to rubbish the senator alone suggests that. ā€œIf Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have not future! I know more about Cory than he knows about himself,ā€ he once tweeted. ā€œI love you Donald,ā€ Mr Booker said in response. ā€œI pray for you.ā€

The 2020 Dem primary should rival the Obama/Clinton clash, which was nasty.

I think the biggest knock on him is taking money from big pharma and corporations. He also voted against drug importation from Canada that is supposed to lower drug prices. I donā€™t think thatā€™ll look good against the other democratic candidates from their voter base.

The first article I linked there talks about that a bit, but they mention he sponsored a bill to import cheaper medicines?
