(9,109 posts)Sanders has a lock on the entire youth vote? Thats rather presumptive.
I dont feel apologetic for pointing out to ahistorical Bernie-philes that his comments about Cuba and other Marxist-socialist (As opposed to Western European social-democracies) will be taken very badly by Latino emigres from Cuba (And the ones now taking out US citizenship papers from Venezuela), and that such comments will be used for attack ads by Orange Julius and his fans.
Nor do I like brushing off the chances for Democratic pick-ups in states and districts with a lot of ex-military voters. The impeachment trial just past showed a lot of stuff that went well beyond partisan politics and into honest-to-gosh treason.
You may know a little Spanish or have friends who know a little about Latin American politics. Have you ever heard of the term Vendepatria? It was a term used by Latin liberals and leftists for those who sold out the fatherland (the homeland) to foreigners for money or favors.
In case you havent noticed, the investigations during Orange Julius impeachment trial have shown that there are by-golly REAL vendepatrias in the highest levels of the Executive Branch here in los Estados Unidos.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
