to help repair the damage Reagan and the DLC Dems were doing as "Sandalistas".

But I'll delete it(not that you were actually outraged).

It wasn't the Human Rights Campaign claiming Bernie wasn't a civil rights activist.

When I use HRC in a post, it's the initials of the candidate of the corporate wing of the party.

I've supported the group and the cause for years.

You made a big deal over nothing.

It's just white centrists claiming Bernie's freedom movement role is in question.
