And Clinton made a peep about racial hiring in justice ? It certainly isn ' t on her website nor did she speak about it much on the campaign trail . Depends on what the redistribution is , doesn ' t it ? Sanders provided only the barest ideas of what it would look like and how it would be achieved and the details he did provide were as pieinthesky as Trump ' s claimed 4 % annual growth . The math did not work . I can go in to more detail if you ' d like . Please do explain how a tax on Wall St . speculation , corralling obscene levels of corporate tax evasion , taxing the rich in the highest bracket at rates similar to FDR , would not result in the redistribution of wealth . I doubt that this one is even technologically possible on the scale Sanders proposed , we aren ' t there yet . Even if we advance at breakneck speed I don ' t see those jobs going to black people in any numbers based purely on geography . Perhaps , but that doesn ' t mean we don ' t try and save the planet . Who do you think will be most affected when climate catastrophe is wreaking havoc across the globe ? The answer is poor POC . Sanders proposed on countless occasions we treat climate change as a WWII level threat , who knows what a nation of our size and wealth could accomplish if we returned to that level of dedication . Bernie proposed $ 1 Trillion towards a green overhaul containing millions of jobs for the nations cities and most impoverished communicates infrastructure , Hillary a fraction of that $ 125 billion . Fracking is actually the first thing you ' ve mentioned where an actual substantial policy difference existed , so congratulations on that . Sanders wanted to ban fracking effective immediately , Clinton wanted to taper . However , both candidates made large proposals to transition to renewable energy , once again with Clinton having the more concrete plan . Clinton wanted to taper because her pockets as well as Obama ' s are lined with money from Exxon Mobil and the like . These people won ' t even speak out against the DAPL , let alone actually commit to pursuing effectual climate change polices . Clinton wouldn ' t even pursue a carbon tax , a non starter really if you ' re concerned about climate change . First off , that does next to nothing to help black people . Our main political problems , as this election showcased , are numerical and geographical . Getting money out of politics which a president doesn ' t actually have the power to do , but I digress does nothing to stop state governments and congress from being controlled by white people or to get them to align with our interests . You ' re missing the point . Money in the political system directly contributes to the maintaining of a political system that exploits poor black workers . Any politician , black , white , yellow , or red that is taking money from big banks , oil companies , private prisons , and pharmaceuticals does not have the interest of a majority of black people in mind . They are concerned about getting their check , nothing more . You stop sending the money to Saudi Arabia a large chunk of which they give right back to us in purchasing American goods and suddenly OPEC is more hostile and we don ' t get these sweetheart deals on oil . You know what would sure hurt black people ? Gas costing $ 6 a gallon , food prices spiking because transport is now more expensive . Oh , and then we have to continue fracking , at least in the medium term , to meet our energy needs . International politics has huge spirals of consequences for things . By american products you mean they buy our weapons to kill brown people all over the middle east and uphold one of the most disgusting regimes on Earth . I want nothing to do with that , if you do that ' s fine . With proper leadership we could without question manage oil prices through taxing of the rich and demanding american oil companions subsidize their swathes of oil reserves they already have and are selling to China while we pursue renewable energy . Our air force is not decades ahead of all the others on the planet technologically , it ' s just bigger than all of them . That ' s great , but I ' d rather not rely on just swarming the enemy and people dying if there ' s ever a war . The new Chinese fighters are nearly as good as the F 16 , and they aren ' t going to stop development any time soon . We ' re still using B 52 s older than Obama for some things . That the F 35 has cost so much is more a testament to the idiocy of the Bush administration and their foreign policy agenda than it is to procurement problems . You cut that at serious peril . We have the two largest air forces in the world , with planes decades ahead of our closest competitors who are just releasing prototypes that compete with ours . Are you really worried about China invading the continental U . S . ? Unless you want to maintain our role as world police , spending the levels of money we are currently on our military with the current status of our people is an absolute disgrace . We use B 52 s older than Obama becasue the age of the bomber is dead , we have drones and smart bombs that laughably outclass the effectiveness of mass bombers like the B 52 . Ya ' ll throw around neoliberalism the same way conservatives throw around socialist . Guess what ? Most of Sanders policies are also neoliberal . Free college , universal healthcare , and a focus on green energy and sustainability are all perfectly compatible with neoliberalism , just ask GermanySanders is significantly less of a neoliberal politician than Clinton , that is no circle up for debate . A neoliberal would not propose a 90 percent tax on the rich , propose to break up the banks , tax wall st . speculation , fight against every oil company , nor would they vow to reschedule marijuana on day one . Would you not rather want to live in a neoliberal state like Germany than the U . S . ? I would sign up for that immediately . And thanks for bringing up Germany . In a mere 15 years , a country with a fraction of our wealth , resources , and population now has 30 percent of its electricity provided by renewable energy . After a robust redevelopment initiative that saw hundreds of thousands of jobs produced . An energy initiative on our part would dwarf that of Germany . You know what ? I don ' t even like Clinton . I voted for Sanders in the primary , but there were and are serious flaws with him too . I didn ' t even get to his tepidness on black issues in this post . The messianic mantle some of you have bestowed on the man is ridiculous . I don ' t even like Sanders ! I ' m far to the left of him practically every issue . I ' ve said since the fucking beginning of his campaign on this sub that I don ' t see him as a messiah . But i ' ll be damned if I advocate or defend the destructive polices corporate democrats like Clinton embody . That is just completely irreconcilable with my beliefs , policies advocated by those like her have shown time and time again to hurt the black community , especially the poorest of our brothers and sisters .
