The Root: Pipe Down, Bernie Sanders

[R B Garr]

264. EVERYONE was invited to commemorate MLK day. It's a national holiday set aside

to honor him. Banks are closed; mail is not delivered. It's a national holiday. So making time to honor MLK does not set him aside as being something special. It is expected.

That picture is from over 40 years ago. Since then, he has lived in a white, rural state with little diversity. For something more recent, here he is just a few months ago telling a Latina to quit playing identity politics and that her ethnicity was unimportant:

"Sanders made his remarks following a speech he gave on Sunday at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston when a supporter asked him what advice he might give to help her become the second Latina U.S. senator.

Acknowledging that he was responding to his questioner “in a way that you may not be happy with,” Sanders said that he cared less about a candidate’s outward appearance than he did about his or her ideas.

“It is not good enough for someone to say, ‘I’m a woman, vote for me.’ No, that’s not good enough."

And Third Way as in compromising with Republicans. Bernie told us in the primary that he was against incrementalism and he demonized Clinton for her realistic plans. Now he wants to compromise with the mega-billionaire, Trump. He sure has changed his tune.

And you keep flailing on brave's threads, so it must really strike a nerve with you that she dares to point out Sanders' many flaws that caused him to lose so badly with the base.
