Bernie Sanders Cites Racism to Explain Progressive Defeats
National Review ^ | November 8, 2018 | Jack Crowe

Posted on 11/08/2018 9:59:46 AM PST by C19fan

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont says the reluctance of white voters to support minority candidates explains the defeat of a number of a highly touted progressive candidates in Tuesday’s midterms.

“I think you know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American,” Sanders told The Daily Beast in an interview published Thursday. “I think next time around by the way it will be a lot easier for them to do that.”

The color barrier is "red". People are reluctant to vote for Marxists. Years ago the Leftist media cleverly transposed the color red onto the right.

He’s an angry white guy who fled NYC and moved to the whitest state in the USA-——I have been ignoring all Vermonters’ political opinions for MANY years.

Um, there are some black men I would vote yes for POTUS, Mr. Bernout.

And there are a whole bunch of candidates that are ignorant, racist, anti-Christian progressives that can bring no good to America. That’s key. Secondarily, many of them happen to be minority candidates.

Where did Bernie, Hillary and the like acquire the lenses that identify, separate and divide Americans?

Could those lenses have come from the largely academic/political purveyors of Liberal/Progressive ideology since the late 1800's, as well as Marx/Lenin writings, etc.?

One fact is certain: lenses for identifying, dividing and separating the citizenry into such subjective "baskets" as those described by Hillary et al did not come from America's Founders or the Framers of our "We, the People" Constitution.

That’s bad news for you and the socialists, Bernie.

There’s nothing can do about your imagined racism.

c’mon. who didn’t see this one coming a mile away?

besides, this works in our favor. as long as they think that they’re losing because of racism, they won’t fix their hopelessly f*cked up agenda.

95% of racial tension is created by the White Liberal.

#13: "Question: Is it migrating NY liberals or what that causes a state of the union to vote for the anti-American socialist Sanders for US Senator?"

One fact of life that is never talked about is how migrating NY liberals have seized control of the faculty at every college and university in the USA. It doesn't matter what backwater state, what backwater town, in the most obscure location. Visit that far flung outpost and you will find the faculty staffed and run by migrating NY liberals. Everywhere. Anywhere.

That is where the indoctrination starts. That is how normally sane Texans are now voting for "Beto".

Socialists believe that, if they run a black or Hispanic to advance the socialist agenda, that people will have to vote for that person, otherwise, they could be accused of being racist.

They want to force socialism down our throats by running someone that can’t possibly be voted against, because of their minority status. It’s never about the ideology or agenda, it’s about people being racist.
