“In the neighborhood I grew up in, there were a lot of people who worked in stores, and when they had short shirts on, they had serial numbers on their arms”, Sanders said in an interview Tuesday with Times Herald.
“People disagree, you’ve got some conservatives out there, fine; let’s argue about the future of America”, Sanders said. He stated that he wants a government that involves everyone, not just the billionaires. He added that the powers of the corporations are getting so strong that the only way to face them is by joining together.
“What Trump has done with some success is taken that anger, taken those fears which are legitimate and converted them into anger against Mexicans, anger against Muslims, and in my view that is not the way we’re going to address the major problems facing our country”, he said.
Sanders’ campaign is directly targeting Trump supporters, seen here today with their candidate in SC, when it sends its volunteers door-to-door.
It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Sanders now has the backing of 11 superdelegates.
Most distressing- and it does not seem far-fetched to call it a conspiracy – is the virtual blackout outside Vermont on Bernie Sanders’ campaign.
When Harris-Perry asked Sanders about gaining the trust of black voters, the Vermont senator talked about how his economic policies would help African-American communities disproportionately affected by issues such as low minimum wages and graduation rates.
He also said that there needs to be pay equality and that all men should stand behind women in this issue. It’s pretty clear Bernie Sanders doesn’t, because he’s repeating Barack Obama‘s much-repented mistake of condescendingly speaking of white working-class voters’ concerns on noneconomic issues as representing displaced anxiety about lost jobs and low wages.
Members of Sanders’ family – on his Polish immigrant father’s side – died in the Holocaust. Also, in August, a Sanders reaffirmed his commitment to the Black Lives Matter movement after a rally for the cause kicked off the event saying, “There is no president, none, one year after the death of Michael Brown, no president who will fight harder to end institutional racism than I will”. Sanders proposes to revolutionize education and make public universities and colleges free. He came to Sanders’ rally because his kids wanted to come.
He stated the country needs a smart policy and to have the US lead the effort in creating an worldwide coalition because this can’t be don’t by the USA alone.
“The fact that people could be destroyed and killed by the millions, not just Jews, but others who were deemed inferior by Hitler, obviously is something I’ve never forgotten”, Sanders, 74, said.
“We have to place more emphasis on both community banks and credit unions, on those financial institutions that know their communities, that are part of their communities, that are prepared to make sensible and affordable loans to businesses and to individuals”, Sanders said.
