In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders would have beaten Trump. Period. [View all]OKNancy
(41,832 posts)If you think this past election was about income inequality and all that stuff, you are very mistaken. It had nothing to do with trade deals or a disaffected class... All income groups below $50,000 voted for Hillary.
This election was all about a rejection of liberal attitudes toward race and gender politics. It was about white nationalism.
Now if some Bernie people refused to vote for Hillary, then fuck them. They can gloat but it doesn't make what they believe true.
Oh and eta: Newsweek reporter Kurt E. published an article about this. He also pointed out that Sanders was never a target of the Republicans or other entities that perfered Trump. He wrote that there was a huge dossier on Sanders and they were prepared to smear him ruthlessly.
