Regarding "Snow White" Bernie Sanders

[JHan]

64. Since you are sincere...

I Am going to share with you an article that might illuminate for you why his statements have been problematic.

The startling hypocrisy of criticizing identity politics while engaging in it ( his hyper focus on WWC narratives is identity politics- which is so tiresome at this point, when have WWC not been the focus of politicians?)

Unwillingness to alienate racist voters inevitably leads to coddling racist voters. Whether everyone who voted for DeSantis fits this descriptor is up for debate. Whether the parameters Sanders outlined in his initial statement does — voting against a black candidate because of some race-based “discomfort” with said candidate — is not. Sanders is describing racism without naming it, even as he seems willing to indict the candidates for reaping its rewards. That it’s not politically expedient to have such a conversation honestly — especially if one sees the alternative as gift-wrapping American democracy for Trumpian grifters, kleptocrats, and white supremacists — is one of the more pathological features of today’s politics. But how sturdy, really, is a democracy kept afloat by lies? We are quickly learning the answer.

And his recent statements about "some people just want to nominate a woman"

It is tiring reading the rationalizations for the nonsense.
