The Real Issue With Bernie

They really should have allowed Larry to be included in the Dem debate. He may be a one issue guy but his one issue is an important one and at the very least he could have forced the other candidates with an actual shot at winning into discussing it publicly.

In terms of the next debate, he has even now said he is no longer a one issue candidate, this is just his primary issue, and he would at least stay for a full term if elected. So the DNC can't throw out that excuse

If they will continue to allow Lincoln Chafee to be at the debates then there is no legit reason to keep Lessig out.

The DNC likes gerrymandering in California or Oregon or New York. And they love getting fat checks from Wall Street. Establishment democrats will never fight to end these things.

Lessig doesn't get to debate because those are his single issues. It's that simple

They may have to talk about all the donor money going to networks like CNN

the thing that pisses me off about Lessig is that he assumes that IF you remove money in politics, that therefore people would support his same liberal platform

The real issue with Bernie is that he's a Jew.

Do Bernie supporters really believe a Jew can be President?

Will his Jewishness become a hot topic?

Serious question.

I'm surprised it hasn't come up more often. Especially given how stereotypically old New York Jewish he is. I rarely even see it out of racists on Twitter or in comment sections.

Maybe the banking stereotype plays against his rhetoric so often he eludes grouping.

Truthfully with this countries secret resentment of certain things Jew-related, I'm honestly shocked it hasn't been brought up.

Any theories on why?

I'm surprised that he came out as a Jew. Dude was known as an irreligious-jew/atheist for a while.

His only competition right now is Hillary and she needs the Jewish vote. I think she learned her lesson in 08 and isn't going to try to disenfranchise her voters by calling out her competitors race/religion. I think if Bernie gets the nomination, then the Jew card will be pulled. I have a very very hard time believing this country would elect a Jew. shyt, we barely elected a Catholic and thats in the same damn religious family.

Do you think a Jew would have less of a chance than an Atheist or Muslim?

Idk man. I think Jews have been kind of neutralized ethnically by most Americans. That may be optimism or ignorance on my part tho, I'm not Jewish nor do I live in a particularly Jewish area.

I think if he were to get more traction you'd see some Mike Huckabee types start throwing around the self hating Jew moniker given his call for even handiness with Palestinians and Israelis.
