How is it the right wing can do anything including colluding with Russia, treason, torture, engage in massive criminality, try to get rid of the social safety net including health care, medicare and medicaid and engage in racism, homophobia and misogyny, but if anyone on the left protests, or talks abut social programs that is how the right wing wins? And what the moderates seem to be saying to me, is that if we don't dumb down our party nominee sufficiently we can't win. We need to be stupid enough for the rural areas to vote for us. Well, we liberals think we can be smart and win. And we have had enough of dumbing down our party to appease the low information voter. We have been doing that for 50 years. And we think our time has come. Moderates may not like it, but we liberals are going to insist on having a smart nominee :)>! <<This is how Trump wins in 2020.

Here is their explanation for why they confronted Chelsea Clinton: Opinion: We Confronted Chelsea Clinton At The Christchurch Vigil. Here's Why. buzzfeednews.com Yesterday we posted a video of Leen confronting Chelsea Clinton at a vigil for the victims of the white supremacist New Zealand mosque massacre. Today, we woke up to over 100,000 people talking about it on Twitter. Needless to say, this is not what we expected. We went to the vigil for one reason: to grieve the loss of innocent lives that were stolen from this world by vile hatred. We wanted to join our friends and colleagues in a time of heartbreak and agony, to remember the 49 Muslims who were murdered for being Muslim. As a Jewish American-Israeli and a Palestinian Muslim, we understand far too well the consequences of anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, and white supremacy. And as activists who are unafraid to speak the truth, we know we have a duty to call out any bigotry wherever it exists. We did a double take when we first noticed Chelsea Clinton was at the vigil. Just weeks before this tragedy, we bore witness to a bigoted, anti-Muslim mob coming after Rep. Ilhan Omar for speaking the truth about the massive influence of the Israel lobby in this country. As people in unwavering solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for freedom and human rights, we were profoundly disappointed when Chelsea Clinton used her platform to fan those flames. We believe that Ilhan Omar did nothing wrong except challenge the status quo, but the way many people chose to criticize Omar made her vulnerable to anti-Muslim hatred and death threats. continues at buzzfeednews.com [They are young, black and white idealist-dogmatists who know everything they need to know about anti-xxx, human rights and the Palestinian-Israeli situation. On the other hand, I don't know what Clinton said that triggered them, they don't repeat it, they just talk about Omar being shut down by the anti-semitism accusations.]
