Bernie isn’t coming from a place of being an outsider anymore, he’s not an insurgent candidate. He has a War chest and has raised insane amounts of money in a short period of time.
When the opening shots of the 2020 primary were starting I thought I’d be behind Elizabeth Warren because I feel like there’s less hostility amongst DailyKos to Warren than Bernie.
But after I saw the fundraising numbers I donated too.
he’s making inroads with all of those black communities and latinos like he should be he’s built infrastructure and for those of you who think Bernie is a Selfish narcissistic pile of garbage who has contributed nothing to the Democratic party I volunteered for Beto O’rourke’s campaign and Hustle and such was written by IT programmers who supported Bernie for the Bernie Sanders campaign and I’ve lamented in the past that we continue to make phone calls to land line phones when our core demographic as a party is under the age of 40 and more than likely to possess a CELLPHONE rather than a landline phone. landlines are for dinosaurs.
If you really wanted to target our core demographic group you would have some serious text messaging game going on.
We wouldn’t have those tools if Bernie hadn’t of run. So for those of you who constantly lament “Bernie sanders is not a Democrat” That might be true considering he wasn’t registered as one for years but he’s made significant contributions to the party and his campaign has laid down infrastructure that will continue to be used for quiet some time into the future.
It’s not like you’re implying: that Bernie sanders isn’t a team player.
He is.
Right now considering his war chest lest Biden step in he’s likely the front runner and as for me I don’t want Biden.
He’s been bashing millennials. Not cool.
We as a generation put him in the white house in 2012.
But yeah one of the reasons Beto o’rourke came as close as he did so much so that he helped us take seats in the Texas legislature were tools that were donated to the party by Bernie Sanders supporters.
and he’s signed the Loyalty pledge to run as a Democrat.
Back in 2016 everyone argued he needed the black and latino vote and there was some sentiment of disenchantment with him because supposedly he saw all racism through the economic inequality lens.
I’m not- well… I’m not saying that All racism is because blacks and latinos are poor.
I just think you can’t really separate social issues from economic ones. Those Social liberal economic conservatives don’t want Gay people to die because they’re gay they want them to die because they’re poor.
If you get my drift. The Social issues and Economic issues are completely interconnected and inseparable.
I know that some people would be just as racist towards a Rich black man as a Poor but so many indicators of well being depend on socio economic status and environment trumps genetics. just look into epigenetics if you want to see why Nurture is the stronger force.
We know the richer you are the more likely your Well being is quiet high.
So while somebody might be racist to a rich black man he’d be less effected by it.
I hope that Bernie continues to make inroads.
