I am really hating that The Root’s comments have been hijacked by “progressives” with this merger. This is shit.

You can’t win an election without Florida.
You think all his socialism talk was going to go well with Cuban American’s that make up 90% of the Republican vote in South Florida?
Good one, I’m sure his pro-Castro talk would’ve been a delight to them.

Ok since we were talking about it, i came to the post to see the fallout and holy shit you werent kidding.

I loved this.

It’d be great if people looked into the causes of criminality rather than the race statistics.

Preach!

You can’t criticize St. Bernie!! It’s insulting every white person...it’s..it’s...reverse racism! Yeah...

Fuck millenials. You lazy fucks can’t be bothered to turn out for elections that aren’t Presidential. It’s why the GOP slaughtered the Dems in 2010 and gerrymandered the shit out of congressional districts. And the slaughter continued in the 2014 midterms as well.

It’s really quite annoying. I never want to hear anyone dismissing “identity politics” again. Because, apparently, only poor white people matter. Not poor black people who voted in droves for Hillary. Nor poor Latinos. Just the poor white people. We need to appeal to them. When every other race of poor people figured…

Ah, resorting to the “BUT BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE!” meme favored by Trump supporters and the alt-right. Thanks for reminding us that Berniebros still don’t give a shit about people of color.

Oh hey, someone maybe criticized St. Bernie! PILE ON THEM WITH HATE!

Please forgive the deplorable behavior and arrogance on the part of some supporters. I’m certain there were times when I should have been more understanding the less hysterical in interacting with people online. I can’t speak for everyone, but there are people who want to have a conversation in good faith.

This is what I don’t get. The criticism is that she should have been reaching out to white voters more, but she goes and does that and it’s only because she lost that we’re now saying she should have been in the Rustbelt, where no polling - and no one but your usual Cassandras - was showing Trump anywhere in serious…

When you say “you democrats” I take it you do not consider yourself one. Also I’m sure that Trump Americans want you even less than you want them.

I agree with you.

Do you ever feel like maybe the people deserve the shit pickle the country is in for being so gallingly insecure that something like a visit from a presidential candidate is enough to sway their voting behavior?

You know, and not giving a fuck about state legislative races, and city council races, etc...but then coming in knowing fuck-all about how politics work and threatening to hijack the party because they are supposedly more important than anyone else.

Fuck Bernie Sanders.
He knew the writing on the wall three months before she won the nomination, and only dropped out of the race when Obama had that special talk with him, making him realize that all he was doing in those last months was creating more disenfranchised voters on the democratic side.
Bernie better live…

Democrats tried to focus on a single issue in 2016: Defeating Trump to ensure women, people of color, Muslims, and our environment were protected. Sanders most dedicated (and almost overwhelmingly white) base decided that wasn’t important enough.

We need this. This strain of shit going through through a vein of the party now needs to be destroyed. You want to talk about real “economic anxiety?” Then start speaking to those it affects the absolute most. Anyone who uses the term “identity politics” as a slur ain’t a Democrat and they sure as hell ain’t a…
