Have we learned anything from what happened to Bernie Sanders?

I think it’s weird to make a distinction that Bernie needed to win black people specifically when the alternative was Hillary “Hot Sauce” Clinton. The argument is basically debating “shitting the bed” vs “not shitting the bed.” Older conservative chose the devil they knew. Neither choice led to racial liberation, so I don’t understand why Bernie had a greater responsibility to earn racial trust. I think democrats fumbled in 2016, but I don’t remember Bernie in 2020 because he was so obviously not the guy for that moment.

I'm pretty thoroughly convinced that the people who are like "oh, so you want to be pandered to" are people from communities that aren't used to being ignored and sidelined. It doesn't take much to show up, meet people where they are, and engage with them. I know my congresswoman because she came and gave a helluva speech at Pride one year and I kinda like with having a progressive, lesbian Latina represent me because she came and showed she's of the community and that we were worth asking for our vote and promised she'd fight for us. That goes a long way and it doesn't take much, it just takes respecting people. That's the most frustrating thing, what some people call 'pandering' is just campaigning and going out to see the voters.

I’m at 8:47 and so far you haven’t told me a single thing that dissuaded or discouraged black voters from voting for Bernie. Maybe it’ll be in the second half…

Edit: nope. Cool. Love being told I didn’t learn anything, and then not being told anything.

There’s also a dimension here that is about generation/age. Young black people went for sanders and zohran. There’s something to explore there.

Also how are people still following Vaush? He’s an open zoophile aka bestiality enjoyer and that’s not enough for people? Also possibly a pedophile but he at least denies that. People really do not care about predation on animals seriously. People should be just as disgusted by and against zoophilia as pedophilia.

But also there are other things like his “ironic” misogyny. That’s what first started pushing me away from him. But the other gross creepy stuff put the nail in the already building coffin.

It wasn’t until later I realized how ignorant he was also on race.

But seriously people really just be ok with bestiality? Disgusting 🤢

He won the black vote at the general election

After the release of some Epstien emails where they talk about Bernie, this video aged even worse. The 2016 primary was between Hillary Clinton, a woman who was part of the inner circle of the worst sex trafficker of the modern era and said nothing about it, much less anything about her husband's lifelong history of sex crimes, a family who was involved in drug rings and murder cover ups as well as being one of the worst political families in terms of policies in the modern era, versus a guy who that minor sex trafficking inner circle was scared of because he actually would go after their way of life. The community chose the wrong option, full stop. No wiggle room or consideration for culture or community needed. The party mobilized the community's loyalty in order to stop an attack against the power structure of a corrupt dynasty and you said "yes sir, right away sir". Whining about white leftists or whatever is shameful because they were objectively correct and you were wrong. You were wrong then and wrong now. Take the L, self reflect, and then shout down your worthless aunties and uncs who refuse to move left. They don't matter, they've never been able to choose properly.

back here after Mamdani's win and boy this aged like shit.

To sum up: Obama ruined everything once again, in particular for African Americans. 😢

Im in some of the Adams campaign chats just because I like to watch, some of the hotep nonsense in the chat is insanity 😂

300 million people vs one city. Call me class reductionist, at least I understand numbers.

I have an honest question- is there ANY person in the current political spectrum that would check the boxes for black Americans? How did Biden get overwhelmingly more black votes than Bernie? And even than Hariss? So far, the woman who is half black received LESS votes than a white man who had a slew of racist votes in his political career?

I’m just curious have you watched Tabitha speak’s video on Bernie? It’s fairly new. It came out a couple days ago.? I would love to hear your thoughts on that?

😂 Bernie Sanders is just Left enough to be called a Socialist,Clinton moved Democrats to the center
but these folks are running Capitalism into the groud

Dude is just really so fixated that he brings up Vaush at the start of his "black people can do no wrong, we should not do introspection at all, that's why our elders aren't voting left or progressive. Not because we cannot be wrong, but because nobody else can be correct except for us. Also I have an inferiority complex so I must hate the Arab."
It's pretty lame.

Eric Adams really shows problems with abusing your own race for "easy" brownie points. Though most white liberals yet still can't understand it. Mainly Destiny and Vaush plus their supporters allowing and being ok with discrimination towards non-whites (and other issues on top of that). This video really helped open my eyes to struggles people have with supporting White Socialist/Liberals. I as a White man for years never understood why people wouldn't just support Bernie or other candidates like him just based on his views. Thankfully I've grown and learned why seeing a rally of only White people saying they are "progressive" might come off as disingenuous. Though Bernie (outside of supporting Israel) has a ton of amazing political ideas. If you can't connect with people outside of one race, then it's a problem.

I appreciate how aware you are of the bad habits that leftists have. They are their own worst enemies.
