Bernie Sanders catalyzed the Democratic Partys post-Obama move to the left. He nearly beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic primaries, and may have even been a stronger candidate against Donald Trump in the general. Now hes back, and the partys surging left wing is conflicted.
At one level, its thrilling for the left: If the self-proclaimed democratic socialist were elected president in 2020, it would represent a truly historic swing in the countrys political orientation. No one would be as committed to the partys new, socialist-inflected policy agenda than the guy who came up with much of it in the first place.
But among the flaws on Sanders résumé for many progressives is one that he can do nothing about - he is a white male, and an old one. In the language of the modern left, the straight, cisgendered Sanders is burdened by his utter lack of intersectionality.
Its a symptom of the delicacy of the situation that in attempting to talk his way around this gross status offense, he has caused even more offense.

They’re coming for you, Bernie. All your political allies. They’re turning on you syrup boy. And you don’t know HOW, or WHY, or WHEN, or WHERE, do ya’?
I guess you’re just another “ANGRY OLD WHITE MAN”. Much like our FOUNDING FATHERS who were MOCKED & DESPISED by your side loved to accuse our COUNTRY’S FOUNDING FATHERS.
tick, tick. Time will prove just HOW “GREAT” your time in WASHINGTON & VERMONT was. Don’t get your hopes up. HISTORY will NOT be kind to you.
‘either way, its Nixon/McGovern all over again.....’
nope; McGovern tallied EV’s; any Dem candidate is guaranteed 200 plus now...
I remember about thirty years ago when a tornado swept across the Navajo reservation. It destroyed three modern houses, jumped a hogan and destroyed more houses.
A medicine man came out and said the tribal gods were unhappy with the tribes living in modern housing and they needed to go back to the mud hogans.
‘McGovern tallied EVs;’
ha, nice post, self...McGovern tallied 17 EV’s, Ma and DC...
We’ll all pay for his adult diapers.
The great big problem that Bernie and his socialist supporters have is that they’re weenies. Weak, little soy boys who are totally clueless and unaware of even basic martial arts, such as “what is a right cross and how to apply it?”
Anyway, we are in a good position to squash Bernie and his supporters like bugs.
Don’t forget rich...rich, old white guy.
White with a pinkish hue.
PLUS, the CORRUPT JUST US Department did NOT INDICT his wife, Jane for all of her FINANCIAL CRIMES!!
“Ordinary people, not really politically involved who probably voted for Obama, are going to take a good hard look at the dems, not believing their ears.”
Didn’t work too well here in CO this year. We elected a radical leftist legislature and a radical leftist governor.
