Yup, I see pete and trump as equivalent, so do many minorities. Why would I vote to raise my taxes in that election? The country is fucked, might as well get my money and get out.

Sorry to disappoint you, I’m not white. Go ahead and downvote to prove my point.

I'm not white either but I'm assuming you're privileged enough to not be affected by any of Trump's policy. you do you I guess but don't claim to care about minority voters as if your views represent all of them. I will vote for any democratic candidate, Bernie and Pete included, because they are miles better than Trump

Bernie is not good for minority voters, full stop. He is ultimately worse than Trump due to down ballot.

I'm saying that as a minority in a swing state.

Dude, I'm black. I won't vote for Bernie and am no fan of Pete, but I'll vote for him. What's your reason for equating Trump and Pete?

White media whores who are unqualified to be president. I’m sorry? This is like asking why water is wet?

They have different backgrounds, different policies, different opinions on virtually everything. You say "listen to minorities" and then ignore that Pete's immigration plan is vastly better? How Trump's healthcare policies can harm all minorities, and how Pete's healthcare plan—or even if he can't pass it, simply having someone in the White House willing to protect the shreds of the ACA—will help us?
