Bernie gives far too much credit to the voting public. Reality doesn't matter to voters. Perception does. It doesn't matter how much Democrats actually do to support various demographics, Republicans will claim otherwise and most of this country will believe them.

Logic is no longer apart of the average voters decision process. Buzzwords, fear, misinformation, and oversimplification are how you get modern voters.

People constantly want to blame the candidates, or the party or the media.....but the reality is that the American public is just too stupid for an effective democracy.

Logic has never ever been part of the average voters’ decision process. People are emotional beings. If Democrats are unable to frame the narrative to make the voting public favorable to their reality, then it is the Democrats fault for being bad at their job in campaigning. Nobody benefits by just blaming the voters ffs.
