Whoever "Jose" on Twitter is, he's full of shyt.
I mean watch that shyt. How many candidates in all American history have made ANYTHING that compares to that? Jose is so full of shyt.
Bernie Sanders says Trump is "racist president"
Bernie doesn't want to say that 90% of voters in Mississippi are racist because he (and every other candidate) want to win Southern votes. Florida is winnable. Georgia is winnable. North Carolina is winnable. But it takes some White votes and even a few White moderate/conservative votes in order to do that. Calling White Southerners racist by default is something we can do here (and honestly I would guess the number in Mississippi is closer to 60-80%, not 90%), but it would be dumb shyt for a presidential candidate to do.
Remember Obama's "they cling to..." statement? Remember Romney's "47%" statement? Remember Clinton's "deplorables" statement? All three were seen as maybe the three biggest errors of their campaigns, and they were much lighter statements. You do NOT criticize the voting public en masse if you actually want to get their votes.
Also a good time to remind people how often the same heads that get most worked up about this will push ignorant views about immigration policy because of electoral strategy. Nap doesn't get why Bernie won't call Mississippi racist but he'll sure as hell co-sign white supremacists on immigration policy...
