In reply to the discussion: Why I DON'T support Bernie for President [View all]MaggieD
(7,393 posts)I have never thought he had a chance of winning, and I still do not. I guess anything could happen, but I think he is dead in the water because while he seems to have the white privilege vote sewed up I do not seeing him making any inroads with any other minorities (LGBT, Latinos/Hispanics, Blacks). He might win NH, and even Iowa. But when the primaries happen in places that aren't hugely white he will not be able to compete, IMO.
I guess it soothes his supporters to think his non-supporters are afraid. Whatever. The objective of my post was to maybe, perhaps, give you all a tiny bit of insight into why the majority of Dems do NOT support him. Maybe if you understood that you would stop insulting the rest of us, or treating us like we are stupid. We aren't.
