Because it was made up by liberal journalists to smear Bernie and his supporters during the 2016 campaign, even though disproportionately his supporters were young women in their 20s.
Yeah.
But whatever.
I think I'll ride for Bernie.
There's worse things in the world than being called a bro.
I love Bernie.
Most of all, I like his clarity.
He's by far the best communicator we have on the left.
He speaks with a moral force.
He's relatable.
And he has taken a lot of socialist rhetoric from academia and brought it down to its core in a way that's comprehensible for ordinary people and speaks to their daily lives.
So when Bernie does a speech, people can finish his lines because they know what he's going to say.
You know, they know what points he's going to hit.
Because socialism, in my mind, should not be a complicated thing.
Now, when we get to more abstract discussions about what a future system would look like, when we get to the policy tradeoffs today, I think we need to put on a different hat we should embrace.
All sorts of nuance and contradiction and complication.
When it comes to the core moral and ethical appeal, I think Bernie grasped that and how to communicate it.
Now, Bernie Sanders was politicized a very long time ago.
I actually once told him, I've only met him a few times, but one time I joked that in his book, he mentioned that one politicizing moment in his life was when Bernie
the Brooklyn Dodgers left town and he was devastated because he was a Dodgers fan, you know, from Brooklyn.
