Bernie Sanders and the Peter Principle

[bravenak]

34. I live in a red state too.

Convincing them that we already HAVE socialism is already a stretch, convincing them we need more? Might start a war if we impose good things on them.

I do not see him as closed off just unaware. He does not get it. It's not just about saying names. It is about the environment you created in your group. If people feel welcomed and listened to they join, if they feel lectured and demanded explanations from or attacked for their own political position, they move away and join another group. The atmosphere among his support is unwelcoming to most black folks. I even have supporters say very disturbing things to me in person on campus. Many are former Rand Paul folks up this way and in my opinion, if others are having similar experiences as I have had, then it is understandable that he is not surging with the african american population.

I have made comments on articles on other sites and for weeks recieve nasty and sometimes racist comments in response from self described Sander's grassroots supporters.

The campaign autopsy will prove my prediction correct. Sadly. I wish people had listened to me the very first day when I predicted this outcome. I always am spot on with predictions relating to the behaiviour of the black demographic.
