Stacey Abrams lost.
You may remember her shes the lady who wanted to ban the most popular hunting rifle in America for confusing reasons (for example: its dangerous) yet who wouldnt answer questions of confiscation (twice, covered here and here).
Also let by the wayside on Tuesday: Floridas Andrew Gillum. Hes the mayor of Tallahassee who was vying for the governorship.
Abrams was shootin for the same, in Georgia.
The two have a couple things in common: theyre Democrats, and
brace yourself I know this is triggering
theyre black.
Yes. Black.
Take off your hoods and let that sink in.
We all know the reason black politicians lose when theyre Democrats: abject racism.
o confirms Bernie Sanders, who said as much to The Daily Beast in an article Thursday:
I think you know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American. I think next time around, by the way, it will be a lot easier for them to do that.
Say WHAT????
White voters are uncomfortable with a candidate being black?
He [thinks] you know.
We all know right?
You know how, when youre standing in that booth, and you know you agree with all the politicians positions, and youre completely onboard with them leading the way, but then you think, Oh holy cow, wait theyre BLACK.
You know how you do that?
Bernie Sanders knows.
The Beast article is titled Bernie Sanders on Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams: Many Whites Made Uncomfortable Voting for Black Candidates.
I have a better title: A Really Stupid Idea.
Somehow, Irish white guy Robert Beto ORourke got mentioned in the piece about racism against relegated candidates. I guess all you have to do is change your name to make it into the discussion?
You look at Beto ORourke. Running in, you know, what is generally considered to be a red state. Enormous excitement. Enormous citizen participation, young people participation. Broke the bank in terms of small contributions that he got. Came within a hair of winning in Texas.
More on racism from Bern:
I think [Gillum is] a fantastic politician in the best sense of the word. He stuck to his guns in terms of a progressive agenda. I think he ran a great campaign. And he had to take on some of the most blatant and ugly racism that we have seen in many, many years. And yet he came within a whisker of winning.
Why the racism talk? Why????
As pointed out by The Daily Wires Emily Zanotti, Obama took Florida in in both 2008 and 2012. Did Baracks legacy turn the voters back to just lovin whitey?
The Left is absolutely obsessed with race (here, here, and here). And the tired preoccupation has now become the too-worn excuse at every turn. How does Bernie explain when a white person loses? What about Hillary? Oh yeah shes a woman. #2 obsession/excuse.
At some point, Democratic voters are going to get tired of the lame excuses for bad candidates with lackluster positions.
Until then, buckle up; theres a sign in the distance: Goofiness Ahead.
Bosh
Are you saying “real” women vote democrat?
Hmmm.
THAT is the ONLY REASON needed, past history is an indicator of future events... Obammy... spit!
It is. Bernie lives in a gated community in the whitest state of the country. He’s never had a “real job” in the sense of doing nothing but run for office. So any pronouncements from Bernie about how racist the rest of us are can be taken with less than a grain of salt.
[ I was a Herman Cain guy back in 2012. Would have gladly voted for John James this year ]
Same here, Cain would have been a HELLOVA lot better than Milkytoasty Romney
Conservative blacks don’t count in their world.
“Bernie Sanders Crystallizes Democratic Defeat: White Voters Are Uncomfortable Voting For Blacks”
No, Bernie you communist puke...it was the black turds in Detroit who din’t vote for John James. FU.
You know, when Great Britain elected Maggie Thatcher to be the first female P.M., she had long since proven that she did not live down to the stereotypes about women lacking the ability to lead, she campaigned the same way, and she operated in office the same way. She EARNED the right to lead, and to not have those stereotypes held against her.
Now compare and contrast to the vast, vast majority of black candidates and elected officials - they are at the least quite liberal, and at worst are angry, white-hating and anti-American. They are living DOWN to the stereotype. Add to that how Obama performed in office, when trusted (despite the stereotypes and the evidence of who he REALLY was, even before the 2008 election) to be the most powerful person in the world. To say the least, such people do NOT help the cause of getting their fellow blacks elected where a significant number of whites are required to push them across the finish line.
I gave money to Herman Cain, Ben Carson and John James Bernie. ESAD.

How many times have you been called a racist by leftists... Many i would imagine.
They keep diluting the term racism so badly they have become actual racists and they cannot see it, only they hate white people for being white.
GFY Bernie. I voted for Alan Keyes in the 2000 Republican primary.
And he did so by winning in the areas where the majority of voters are white. He lost to a white woman in Detroit, Flint, and other areas where the majority of voters are African American.
Of course it is possible African American voters did not like his choice of a wife, or they really are so dedicated to the policies of the Democratic party that they would not consider voting for him.
But Bernie's theory is refuted by the data in Michigan.
They both are crooks.
Good thing I don’t live there.
. . . and doubly cautious after Obama about voting for a black Democrat.At least I hope so.
It’s about culture, not race.
You cannot choose your race, but you do choose your culture.
That's why so many people in Northern Michigan voted for John James.
Percent of crimes committed by blacks compared to their percentage of population is stoopid.
But i am supposed to not have poor attitude towards them?
I don’t think so.
