So you voted for Stacey Abrams... or?
Couple points:
-I think having a body language expert on in regards to Bernie's comments is kinda BS. Just like I had a problem with @red mpls taking issue with Warren's supposed "performance", I really ain't buying one way or another this lady.
-Joy Reid doesn't like Bernie all that much . I think now part of the reason is how hostile his supporters are toward her. A lot of racist and sexism **** gets flung her way online and at times it seems like she uses her show to jab them back. She raises some good points about Bernie sometimes, other times I think her takes are bad. Bernie supporters having such an issue with her is laughable though.
Like I have said, I am generally not that sympathetic to Bernie supporters whining about unfair treatment of Sanders in the media is all that unique. Sanders seems to be getting the same shake most Dems get. Secondly, there is an extensive network of pro Sanders online media outlets that make all kinds of BS argument in support of Bernie. Joy Ann Reid is no where close to Young Turks or even Krystal Ball level of buffoonery.
-When is comes to modern day American politics, Greenwald is trash. Dude is like the Tulsi Gabbard of the media. His whole downplaying of how dangerous the Trump Administration on Fox News is extremely problematic. He now like to stand on a high horse and be like he is fighting real fascism in Brazil, so he looks down on the resistance to Trump in America. Like your self righteous *** can **** all the way off.
-Yeah, in my own life I have seen what happens to people when they go down the rabbit hole of online media. Rogan is a gateway to so much nonsense, especially the alt-right.
And from my interaction with students, and my friends, I have seen a growing number of them getting hostile to fact and reality when it doesn't align with their political views. It is shocking how much pushback I have gotten when I tell people "M4A is not the only way to get to universal coverage". Yang supporters are a whole different problematic beast. But I honestly think the appeal to some people, especially the real bros, is that they think a Yang or Sanders presidency is only really gonna restructure class dynamics in America, while leaving others in mostly place. I say this because these folk sound like conservatives and libertarians with the amount of anti-liberal criticisms they push out. Complaints about "identity politics" are always a dead giveaway in a conversation to me.
I would put money, good money on this dude just saw this movie
Voters are so painfully stupid. I can’t believe the dem field has been dwindled down to these folks.
The old folks should’ve gotten out the way. Cory, Castro and Harris should’ve been the top candidates in the race.
Is that Lev Parnas driving the bus?
I believe that Joy Reid (and more importantly her audience) cares about class politics just as much as the so called Bernie Bros. In fact, for the #resistence, social class issues are their top priority. They simply lie and say it is not the case.
Liberals like Joy Reid champion the professional-managerial worker. Her show and most MSNBC shows are the ego and voice of the elite of the workers, those who are or who can expect a good retirement, those who have great wages and benefits, those who have reliable hours, paid time off, those who ge really are treated like humans and not commodities at their jobs.
Sanders supporters and their attendant media outlets generally represent the less well off and less well treated parts of the work force.
The MSNBC abd CNN watching PMC have deeply divergent economic interest than do the front line, hourly workers who consume pro Sanders media.
No one truly votes first and foremost on their personal identity. People vote based on their material interests. It’s now a case where the left admits it so liberals deny it and paint class war as gauche, at best and racist at worst.
There is no serious class versus identity politics dynamic. Politics is largely a material struggle it’s just the case that many refuse to admit it.

Bernie back on his bull****....
Always gotta try to make excuses for regressive white people.
So Bernie's reasoning for the Dems not winning in the deep South is on the Dems failure to getting enough white voters. Does this mother****er know or care to know about the bull**** that goes on in the region.
