    Of course, how people vote rarely has any foundation in reason.
    There must be some reason the Working Class have turned towards the Republicans.

I know that's a lot to ask, and I understand if a person would rather have one of annata's famous urine concoctions, but it's all there. Start with him coming down the escalator, holding on for dear life, while ranting about Mexicans being rapists.

    It's race.
    Error! Error! Error!

    When Bernie is talking about 'Working Class', he means just that. People that work with their hands for a living.
    Democrats easily dismiss this, like you, by calling it 'racism'.
    Bernie can't win a Presidential election because he doesn't love Jesus. Obviously ... a Communist.

    Is that why the American Working Class is abandoning the Democratic Party?

    Maybe my numbers are off but to me the working class (aka those without a college degree) has been shrinking as more and more kids today get some form of a college degree. Traditionally Republicans won the vote of those with college degrees (although Dems won with advanced degrees but that's a much smaller number) and Dems won the working class. But this isn't the 50's, 60's & 70's anymore where people left high school for a union manufacturing job. Technology has changed all that. And today, and least in most recent time, those with college degrees have gravitated towards the Democrats and working class to the Republicans.

    Hmmm. I could be speaking out of my *ss, certainly wouldn't be the first time, but I thought Sanders whole M.O. was this multi-cultural, multi-ethnic ultimately color blind working class coalition and that in certain liberal circles he gets sh*t for trying to be color blind.

    I don't know the break down of the voters, but in the Dem primary in California Bernie beat Biden pretty handily I believe and you know California is less than half white on the whole and the Dem primary voters here are very diverse.

    Yeah. Exactly. Bernie can win in California. They don't give a shit whether he loves Jesus or not.

    I guess that's one way of looking at it; colorblind. Similar to people claiming they "don't see color". But we all see color.

    Another way of looking at it is that Sanders is on record as considering race and gender issues as "identity politics" and has never shown any interest in understanding either issues.

    My way of looking at is that he's a miserable old Marxist who was kicked out of a commune when he was young, for talking too much but never doing any work. He hasn't changed. He didn't hold a job until he was in his 40's and assed his way into Mayor of his nearly all-white town. He stole electricity, was a deadbeat dad, and beat his first opponent by claiming he was the "better feminist" of the two - she was a liberal woman. He has dedicated his life to cockblocking women, and is a miserable old bastard who is largely responsible for our current Supreme court, which I call the Sanders court. He did get an assist from Comey.

    His 2020 campaign met reality in S. Carolina, the day I call "Welcome to the O.C., BITCH". If the Dems ever wake up and stop front-loading white states like N Hampshire in their primary, a Sanders never happens, not in 2020 and not in 2016.

    The Working Class is getting hammered 3 ways.

    1. Outsourcing. Manufacturing Jobs moved 'Offshore' to Asia.
    2. Automation. 'Machines' replacing Human Labor.
    3. Third World Labor. Like with the Saudi Plan, importing CHEAP LABOR from Third World Countries to Build the Country.

    Jesus has nothing to do with this. I know what your implication is here.

    Not right wing. I've been lucky enough to have to listen to Berners rant in real life. It's been a trip. But those are MY points. A liberal feminist. I don't give one shit for what Right wingers, OR, Berners have to say.
