Still having trouble figuring out why this really matters against Sanders.

Eh, it's the typical political bullshit that was so disgusting, it turned me away in 2016.

The guy is white. Anybody saying that Bernie Sanders didn't benefit from it is more indicative about their misunderstanding of what white privilege is. Anybody who acknowledges it as a valid concept and believes Bernie Sanders doesn't benefit from it is stupid.

Here's the problem with the Democrat party and progressives. They excel at making perfect the enemy of good. Here's a good demonstration of that, by saying that since Bernie Sanders isn't the literal second coming in how he's affected policy over time as a politician, he is not worth voting for. Especially when compared to others, who's policies are much worse for them.

Every reserve I had about Bernie Sanders, I found some sort of precedence in reasoning. Meaning, people smarter than I affirmed what I didn't like about his campaign.

I felt like the only person that didn't like how his constituency treated the primaries. He explicitly agreed that he stirred the pot negatively on it and said softly, "yeah no kidding [ I steered people away from voting for Clinton]."

Yuka and certain remnants of the African American community are distinctly the only people that I have ever heard talk about how fraudulent he was as a politician though. And there's no referential backing that Yuka has ever provided that is convincing of his fraud.
