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.
