UPDATE: The saddest thing of all is that one of the nastier comments survived a jury vote by 5-2.

(11,619 posts)"But it isnt just the Sanders campaign zombie that liberal pundits are desperately trying to stamp out. Its the white working class itself."
This article is disdainful of the Sanders Campaign.
It also admits that the Clinton has won.
"With Clintons nomination a lock, liberals have become even more furious and dismissive of white workers."
The accusations of "White Bashing" have a real ring of 'privilege to them.

The problem with the analysis is that I have never seen any evidence that there was enough of a leftist white vote to carry a National election with a Bernie type platform. But what do I know?

(41,989 posts)Disjointed, semi-hysterical, fact-free, anti-capitalist woo, attempting--yet again--to deny social justice issues. Only THIS time claiming that working whites are victims of a deliberate effort to lesson the impact of their voices, that racism is not a deciding factor in why these voters are largely republican voters, despite emerging liberal views on social human rights issues such as abortion.
I am not surprise that the piece was posted, who posted it, nor surprised that it's supported without question or reflection.
For another analysis of this demographic;

(31,828 posts)working class voters were closer to Republicans on economic and racial issues, but agreed with Democrats on abortion and womens role in the family.
So it's the social issues? Who knew DU?
