“Bernie is getting squeezed”
Unfortunately, Sanders voters, who often consider themselves the most informed, progressive (and maybe smartest and most talented) of voters didn’t take kindly to the poll’s suggestion that they really just don’t know what they’re doing and haven’t been paying attention to the political landscape.
On social media, they were downright insulted.
Some accused Todd and NBC of being in the bag for Joe Biden and beholden to their corporate overlords at Comcast. “It is obvious that Chuck Todd and others at NBC (owned by corporate Comcast) are Biden supporters. They are afraid of Bernie. They constantly try to spin things against Bernie,” one commentator observed.
Bernie does have a few strikes against him .
-
He’s old. But then so is everyone else. Bernie will be 79 years old in 2020. His two main challengers sleepy creepy Joe Biden will be nearly 78. Fauxahontis will be a spry 71.
-
He’s white and male. But so is sleepy creepy Joe. Also both are heterosexual. Fauxahontis is white but female. (Check box for the fake Indian)
-
Oh oh… Bernie is Jewish (in name only). With Anti-Semitism taking root in the Democrat Party this might be problematic for Bernie. Time will tell.
-
Bernie not the radical “Democratic Socialist” of the pack anymore. They’re all spouting the same bullshit.
Of course lets not forget the principle “low information Voters”, the people of deep blue Vermont who have been re-electing this “Trotskyite light” Political commissar to public office since 1981.
