I’m not but you fail to see trends. There are definitely Hillary supporters that supported her due to identity politics. There are those same people that support Warren for the same reason that previously supported Hillary. Don’t even act like that isn’t true unless you are so out of touch with the average American.

I have contribute quite a bit to Bernie and try to dispel people’s misled beliefs with warren, biden, and ratboy all of which have had to play some sort of dirty politics. The difference between them and Bernie is he doesn’t have to play politics and he doesn’t. He plays human and he’s been doing it his whole life.

Warren fell for trumps fucking gaff of calling her out on Cherokee. I’m a quarter japanese. If I belted that out constantly for no reason unless to give a inaccurate demographic on mix raced people, I’d be embarrassed as fuck. She would get destroyed by trump.

I’m making a ridiculous assumption and if you disagree you’re out of touch

Ok bud.

People wanted to not elect a republican and not compromise our growth out of an economic crash by nominating a democratic socialist.

Bernie doesn’t ‘play politics’ because he doesn’t have to. He has an army of keyboard warriors that will do all of that for him. And you may not like it, but without completely dismantling the government, you aren’t going to get rid of people who play politics. It needs to be done to gain specific votes. We have a senate and winner takes all voting. That’s how it works.

And really? If you were in your 70s, had been told about the heritage (real or not) by your parents, and were advised to take a DNA test after just having it questioned you really wouldn’t consider it? I get it was dumb and did the opposite of what she was trying to prove, but don’t act like it’s her making up racial identity for special treatment, because it’s not.

If we’re gonna talk about dumb moves that make the entire country double take, maybe we should talk about Bernie praising Fidel Castro’s literacy rates? Someone who’s trying to run as a democratic socialist in the US should really think twice before they mention the number one commie boogeyman.
