'Thats how you win': Bernie Sanders scolds Kamala Harris after NYC upset
https://www.rawstory.com/bernie-sanders-2672436341/
Sanders championed Mamdanis campaign and argued that, were Harris to have run a similar campaign, she wouldnt have lost.
To run a brilliant campaign, you have to run a grassroots campaign, so instead of taking money from billionaires and putting stupid ads on television, which the people increasingly do not pay attention to, you mobilize thousands and thousands of people around the progressive agenda that speaks to the needs of working-class people and you go out and you knock on doors, Sanders said.
And if somebody like a Kamala Harris had not listened to her consultants and done that, she would be president of the United States today.
I seriously need him to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! He doesn't realize that every time he opens his mouth he is ALIENATING the Base of the Party.
Kamala Harris received 1,748,140 Votes in NYC in 2024.
There is ZERO reason to bring Kamala Harris up. To compare her to someone who had 1/100th of the challenges that she had is evil and against the Democratic Party Base - Black Women.
Sanders to me? He represents the 'White Male American 'Aristocracy'. He's had every door opened to him based on Gender and Race.
The GAME has ALWAYS been rigged in HIS FAVOR in Vermont. A black woman in Vermont on welfare would NEVER have won office.
Dear Independent Senator Sanders: We won't forget. Also - you are like 80 years old right? I hear talk about all of the 80 somethings being forced out of office. If it can be said about Pelosi - it can be said about you. Turn about is fair play. Now please, go verbally punch Trump and take VP Harris' name OUT'CHA mouth. Your words will echo and bounce around the Aunties (including myself) for DECADES.
Signed -
Democratic Committee Member and Elected Official in Hunterdon County NJ where that fucking message of Mamdani's will NEVER WIN amongst white racists!
PS - The enemy will use your words against us in 2026. This isn't the bell weather you think it is.
PSS - Sanders is an INDEPENDENT SENATOR IN VERMONT. NOT A DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEMBER. He's not supporting DEMOCRATS.

Bernie is stuck in the '60s, when there weren't any women or minority candidates in the major parties,

Gimme a break... Bernie represents Democratic principles as much as, if not more than, most Democrats!!

Of course I'm willing to listen... that's why I'm trying to have a civil conversation.

Responding to Sanders' bashing our presidential nominee is not "Bernie bashing."
