    3. Bernie’s public language on Trump supporters drastically downplays their racist, bigoted, whites supremacist, nationalist motivations. I believe it’s primary for Trump’s voters. Bernie believes it’s secondary. Final thought...https://twitter.com/vice/status/938442101943160832 …

        For Bernie, economic concerns will always come first. He would happily sell out women’s and minority rights and freedoms to get his economic policies on the table. I think that’s why he thinks the Trump base’s economic plight is their primary drive - it’s what he’s concerned with

        Ridiculous. This is strategy status quo dems use right now, they pander to minorities so they can ignore the economic issues. How that been working out? Republican super majority across the country, state, local, and federal. His Economics adresses this

        Bernie is an effective politician. Those of us who have given him the trust he has earned, have rarely been disappointed.

        Like you said - this is a HUGE blind spot for Bernie.. a lot of white folks have WAY too much misplaced faith in the decency of other white folks, despite a preponderance of empirical evidence to the contrary.

        You are right, Shaun. But this was the case during the campaign, too, when you didn't seem to see it. And it was the case when Bernie's campaign dismissed the votes of southern democrats saying they don't count.

        Another thing Is Bernie is conducting outreach pushing his egalitarian measures and providing positive solutions and outlets for all our resentments at the ruling class. He’s not engaging in Trumpian scapegoating and race baiting . This distinction is everything.

        their racist, bigoted, white supremacy, nationalist motivations are born from their economic pain that has not been addressed except with racism, bigotry, white supremacy, and nationalism. As the left focused on minorities, they've missed the way their message was interpreted.

        They aren’t all like that, but you’re a SJW “reporter” who sensationalizes everything and sees literally EVERYTHING as a matter of race.

        I can’t with any degree of clarity or credibility deeply expound on race . I do know Trump’s appeal to bigotry and racism were the kickstart to his campaign, yet I also feel Bernie is right to try to woo more voters into the Democratic camp. It’s a ticklish maneuver.

        Bernie trying to give ppl room to make a political pivot. Writing ppl off does not build a movement. Some have realized that voting Trump was a mistake.

        Yes. They believe it's secondary. Sanders is probably pandering to their collective self concept.

        A good politician should always strive to inspire people to do right thing and educate them with policies and challenges of society.If he starts trying to attack some fringe groups in this country,his agenda would be derailed and serves no purpose.

        The man is trying to win back the decent people who were maybe a bit apolitical, potentially strung out on opioids, and who voted for that silly guy from a reality show who hosted SNL. You can't expect him to bring them back by saying "hey whats up you racist fucks!"

        If racism was secondary, they would have dropped him over his economic policy and the tax bill.
