This is why people criticize democrats.

You really sound like you’re crying because he literally has to go out there and fucking dance thru a god damn field of mines and at the age of 70+ is expected to have the mental gymnastics of a 20 year old. Like the fuck is wrong with you? The fact is Bernie cares more than almost any other white person in current…

This is nonsense, economic issues affect all people and are equally important as all the other issues. If we let the right divide us we will end up with 4 more years of Trump.

Excellent journalism. You researched the hell out of that string of sentences. Did it ever occur to you that “ordinary Americans” meant non-1%ers or non-elite Americans in the context of the interview and Bernie Sanders just generally? It had to have crossed your mind, because I assume The Root doesn’t hire the first…

What utter, inflammatory nonsense. After a career of fighting consistently for the same issues for decades, we are now debasing him by concluding that he thinks minorities are outside the fold?

If you want to get rid of Trump, get a Democrat into power, and to heal the racial divide, we need to start listening to Sanders and not repeating the same BS ‘Democratic coalition of minorities’ strategy that did NOT get Hillary electec last year and probably won’t get any Democrat elected under the Electoral College…

Hmm, have you never heard of a Venn Diagram? There are overlapping populations here. A a bi-racial woman clearly occupies three different self-identifying groups, correct?

Wow, this is a serious reach guys.

The Root still steady trying to make me hate Bernie.

These people are either paid to do this or who knows. This website is such a joke.

Frankly, I think you’re stretching your argument thin. The juxtoposition isn’t “here’s these people, then here’s the ‘ordinaries.’”

Yes, lets’ all attack Bernie Sanders for being whats wrong with this country. While were at it, let’s also cut off our own noses to spite our faces...

You can be both an ordinary American and a minority. They aren’t mutually exclusive, and I didn’t take his statement that way, either.

Why are people so dam ignorant? People like those who agree with this feminist/Hillary loving author, spit in the face of their friends and cower to their enemies.
