In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders still hasn't solved the biggest problem standing in his way of beating Hillary Clinto [View all]artislife
(9,497 posts)59. OMG, I hadn't heard this....Bernie has trouble with minorities
If only I had known that as a Latina, that I was supposed to vote for Abuelita because she loves us and will protect us...unless we are at the border and under the age of 18, and that she will tell us what is good for us.
If only I had known, I wouldn't have gone to a small gathering of 12,000 other people to hear Bernie. I thought he wanted me and the diverse crowd to have a better life, to do it together...unite.
If only I had known that it is better to stick to my own kind, like Anita told us in West Side Story.
It is too late. The bern has happened. I will turn my back on my people and vote for a man who sees the content of my character first, instead of the bloodline that crossed the southern border.
So sad, so sad.
