Mythbusting for Bernie: He's unelectable in the general

[BrotherIvan]

20. Bernie can win

If the people stand up and say enough! They have to wake up. They have to feel it's important enough to them, though they've been told that government is ruining their lives and they just think it's a fact of life. They've been brainwashed to think that they have no power. Bernie Sanders is the kind of candidate people would have demanded before Reagan but now he is marginalized. He "can't win" because he is working for the people. I say fuck that. Obama capitalized on people's hearts and then turned around and served the people that paid for his campaigns. In my community of African Americans, Latinos, and Asians, we realize that Obama is merely symbolic and that he hasn't stuck his neck out for us. Bernie wants to find another way and I think it is despicable to say that a candidate who matches what the people want: Social Security, Medicare, Public Education, Worker's Rights, Jobs, and every social issue; is a fantasy. People need to really check themselves and deeply explore how they have internalized the master's beliefs. They work for US, not the other way around.

Thanks for writing, it has been enjoyable discussing the issues with you.
