Democratic party has turned its back on the working class

How fucking dumb are you? Regardless of your totally ignorant view, why is it the American people rate Brandon's economy as crap?

Maybe it has something to do with business destroyed by Democrat shutdowns and the ever widening general strike and the increasing shortages and the high inflation.

Manchin is a moving target that keeps playing Lucy to the Democrats' Charlie Brown.

One day he supposedly worries about debt, and then votes in favor of giving millions more to the Pentagon.

He will NEVER vote for anything that cuts funds for coal. He will never vote for any oversight of the banks. Nobody can pin him down on what he will vote for, say nothing about the last time any Republican voted with Democrats...which is the bar he purposely sets.

What funds for coal?

There is no point in compromising with Democrats.

I guess that's one way of looking at it; colorblind. Similar to people claiming they "don't see color". But we all see color.

Another way of looking at it is that Sanders is on record as considering race and gender issues as "identity politics" and has never shown any interest in understanding either issues.

My way of looking at is that he's a miserable old Marxist who was kicked out of a commune when he was young, for talking too much but never doing any work. He hasn't changed. He didn't hold a job until he was in his 40's and assed his way into Mayor of his nearly all-white town. He stole electricity, was a deadbeat dad, and beat his first opponent by claiming he was the "better feminist" of the two - she was a liberal woman. He has dedicated his life to cockblocking women, and is a miserable old bastard who is largely responsible for our current Supreme court, which I call the Sanders court. He did get an assist from Comey.

His 2020 campaign met reality in S. Carolina, the day I call "Welcome to the O.C., BITCH". If the Dems ever wake up and stop front-loading white states like N Hampshire in their primary, a Sanders never happens, not in 2020 and not in 2016.

Whereas you usurped a great username, you have some work to do to live up to it.

You seem to hail the black community in every post, yet you refuse to admit that it was the black community (with a lot of help from youth voters) and not Sanders who hand delivered this Supreme Court.

You also ignore the fact that he marched with MLK.

Sure...he resides in a pasty white state. That doesn't mean that his positions would harm the black community.

How did the "black community" hand deliver this supreme court? I'm interested in that.

Bernie can drop the charade and become a democrat - or he can fuck off and go caucus with the other shit stain morons that think socialism isn't a race to the bottom

You're speaking of Manchin.

Bernie never pretended to be anything but an Independent who caucuses with Democrats.
 
I apologize for the usurping, you got me there. I heard that everyone really liked Darla, and I have trouble fitting in, so this seemed like a good idea at the time.

no Manchin runs as a democrat - and is a democrat

Bernie is not a democrat - he only pinches his nose and votes with them when it is convenient

How did Sanders?

Black community, along with youth voters refused to vote in '16. With such thin margins, it was enough to give trump the WH, and McConnell the Supreme Court.

I blame Sanders for being as bad as trump on Jan. 6.

Bernie basked in the glory of the youth uprising when he didn't get the nomination, and then gave a tepid (at best) endorsement of Clinton in the 11th hour.

That would account for the refusal of kids to vote, or vote for trump.

It doesn't explain the drop in Black voting.

When you delve into his funding schemes for free shit, they don't work.

I liked his ideas for funding free college via a tiny tax on every Wall St. transaction, but it will never come to fruition. A $.25 per transaction fee would cost investors almost nothing, but raise countless billions that could fund quite a few programs that would help the middle class.

The market would move to China first.

I think the Proposal is aimed at the 'Machine Trading', where hundreds of transactions per second occur.

"Throughout the generations, there have been world wars, depressions, recessions and financial market implosions, but this is the first market to be whipsawed by machines. What’s driving the intensity is algorithms which puts wealth preservation at stake as retirement funds compete against quant traders."

Do you have anything besides a Sanders interview to prove this assertion?

Biden made gains in both male/female white working class voters.

Do you have anything besides Sanders' outdated talking points?

No.
Ask yourself 'Who benefits by CHEAP LABOR?'.

Is it the Capitalists?
Or is it the American Worker?

You don't have to be a Political Scientist to figure this out.

(If the millions and millions of Third World Labor could Vote, I would concede the Democrats are on to something. ... unfortunately, that is NOT the case)

I would need to see evidence that black people refused to vote, rather than were prevented from voting. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/us/supreme-court-ruling.html

As for this being the Bernie court, Sanders was mathematically eliminated from the nomination in March of 2016, and refused to concede until July, all the time, calling the democratic primary rigged. His stupid supporters attended the Democratic convention and received a ridiculous amount of air time with their mouths taped. As if a Berner ever shut up for one minute. While Bernie sat there looking like he had sucked a lemon. Bernie tarnished the entire primary and till this day, many of his followers consider Hillary win illegitimate , as does Sanders himself. He is and has been poison to both the democratic process, and the Democratic party. Without Bernie, Hillary wins in 2016. Without Comey, she wins. It was close enough where any one factor could have made the difference, and Bernie is without a doubt one of the biggest ones.

In fact, Bernie began the whole "rigged" thing, which Trump happily picked up.

Rehashing this again?! Hillary was easily the most hated person in American when she was nominated.

Where is this data coming from? Granted, the 'working class' is typically less educated. They are fully on the trump train. But if we're talking about results, what have Republicans/Manchin done for the working class?

Of course, how people vote rarely has any foundation in reason.

Do you understand that the so called uneducated working class makes more money much of the time than the so called educated? In many cases MUCH more. And its growing. I dont know if its just me but I think its pretty stupid to pay for 4 years of college to end sitting in some shabby little cubicle all day for the rest of your life making chicken feed.
