DEMS TOO FAR LEFT—BOO BERNIE

THE DEMS HAVE SEALED THEIR FATE AS A MINORITY PARTY

I learn today (April 25, 2019) from CNN that Senator Bernie Sanders was roundly booed by a group of women at a “She The People” rally in Houston Texas.  Apparently, Bernie  had the bad taste and temerity to state that he had marched with Dr. Martin Luther King 56 years ago. 

It was at this Houston rally in which  Bernie responded to a question from a Ms Sayu Bhojwani, apparently the first and former NYC Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs, who was an attendee.  Ms Bhojwani’s query spoke to the “rise of white nationalism and what a President Sanders would do about it”.  Bernie responded in part  by “name dropping” (as CNN termed it) using a reference to the reverend Dr Martin Luther King.  It’s true Bernie was on the March on Washington in 1963 when he was a college student.  But that courageous act of youth got him no “cred” with the gals in Houston. Apparently, being an old  white guy even one with a life long history of support for racial equality and progressivism was still strictly verboten for these radical fringe women.  

To this author, Bernie’s response was honest and appropriate. He prefaced his remark by stating that he was “dating himself” when he mentioned the march with King almost sixty years ago...but he continued on claiming that—that the long-ago incident established the veracity of his claim (not possible to be made by any other Dem candidate for 2020) that for “all of his life” he has supported the rights of minorities and has worked to make life better for blacks, Hispanics and immigrants.  This was not good enough for these Democrat women.  Bernie was soundly booed from from the audience and in a subsequent interview on CNN, Ms. Bhowlwani  further slimed Bernie claiming she was “not satisfied  with his response and his  “name dropping”.  Too bad for Bernie,  a truly honest and sincere guy—a rarity for a politician. 

But the incident only underscores the massive —I can not call it “drift”—but more of a tidal wave the Dems have made toward the far left fringe.  For these Democrat women, even life long Socialist Bernie—probably one of the few honest long-term politician in DC—is not radical enough for them.  

The modern 2019 Democrats have morphed into the party of the far-left fringe. Their constituency consists of the anti-religious, the radial feminists, blacks, Hispanics, illegal immigrants, inner city urbanites, the LBGTQ “community” and others of similar ilk clinging like flotsam to the the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in our densely urbanized shorelines. Old fashioned unionists, farmers, family men and women, and working class Democrats need not apply. The new Dems are ignoring your needs and your vote.  

This is a sad state of affairs.
