Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has a simple explanation for why he's trailing Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House: Poor people don't vote.
In an interview for NBC's "Meet the Press," Sanders says the fact that poor people don't vote is a "sad reality of American society." He says that while his campaign has done a good job of bringing out young people, he says he's had only some success with lower-income Americans.
Sanders predicts that if voter turnout could be significantly increased so that low-income people, working people and younger people participated, "this country would be radically transformed."
Sanders touted the need for better care for veterans at a rally in Wilmington, Delaware, Saturday, declaring "we are not going to cut social security, in fact, we are going to do exactly the opposite."
He told the crowds of supporters that he would expand social security and benefits for Americans if elected president, saying that he has repeatedly asked his rival Hillary Clinton to join his call for lifting the cap on social security.
"I am still waiting for a clear answer," he said.
The dead vote but the poor don’t?
The dead can fly. Walk through walls. You get their drift.
Poor people have poor ways.
And they can vote, too.
Right. When I said the poor have poor ways I meant they have poor ways to get to the polls unlike the dead who can get their easily.
Why should the parasites who vote to live, be given the right to vote at all ? If you get a check from the Federal government, you should not be granted the luxury of voting. Presto, most of the country’s problems will disappear.
Sanders is behind Clinton because he’s a wacko.
Hey, I was born and raised in Hudson County New Jersey. Dead people voted there all the time.
Maybe he should have thought of that before he picked them as his constituency.
Burnie, you are trailing the PIAPS because you won’t raise hell about the super delegates. Get on her about it Burnie, go after her hard. Then shame her for thwarting the will of the people by accepting corrupt democrat party policy.
I heard some young men in the late 1940’s were paid to vote in Hoboken polling locations. Neither learned how many times. According my friends father.
