Bernie just equated working voters with white voters, again.

97. Weird, I could have sworn that most working class Americans vote D

Including white ones (although granted, not at nearly the same rate as working class Black, Latino, and other voters of color.)

The thing that Sanders and his many of supporters either don't seem to understand or are, worse, willfully ignorant of is that in the year 2016, the vast majority of working class voters who vote Republican - hell, the vast majority of Republican voters, period - are a lost cause. Anyone who would even consider voting for a Republican candidate in 2016 - after the painfully catastrophic George W. Bush years, after the rise of Tea Party fanaticism within the GOP and the utterly insane mixture of racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of vile bigotry that has been the norm in the Republican Party for quite some time now - is not someone that is at all likely to vote for any Democrat, unless it was literally Donald Trump (with the exact same campaign rhetoric and platform) running in the Democratic primaries; and even then, many Republican voters would still not vote for a dreaded DemocRAT.

The only way in which Democrats win any significant number of these voters is to literally co-opt Trump's message, and all of the illiberal and vile shit that comes with his message. Well excuse me for saying that I'll pass on that.
