Bernie Sanders didn’t do well with African-Americans in 2016. He tried to remedy that by hiring black people.

Good idea! But Bernie made a critical error.

Bernie aligned himself with the likes of Shaun King and Nina Turner, who represent a very small subset of actual human beings.

Most African-American voters know white folk crazy, and they not tryin to rile up whitey with reparations and all that crazy shit.

You can maybe sell Norway/Sweden-style socialism. Calculated, pleasant, technocratic democratic socialism where everyone dresses the same and acts like robots has a certain appeal to a segment of Americans.

Like, we can talk about it.

But ain’t nobody tryin to hear that Venezuela/Cuba-type socialism.

To Americans, those places look dirty. Everybody is shouting all the time and stuck in traffic in beat up old cars. And their music sounds poor! Those countries are basically Alabama but with Mexicans.

NO WAYYYYYY is that going to fly with anything close to a majority of Muricans.

Having an army of dickheads behind you can be helpful. It was certainly helpful to Trump and Hitler before him.

If you win, it’s great.

But if you stumble…it sucks, because all the enemies you made along the way can’t wait to piss on your grave. They are extra enthused to help bury you and that’s what happened after South Carolina.
