This claim that Bernie would have beaten Trump does not hold water. He only won two swing states in the primary, Wisconsin and Michigan, and he lost all of the states with the greatest population of non-white Democrats. Clinton won the popular vote and there were lots of white Sanders voters who crossed over and voted for Trump, mainly old white men and women. These are people who've been around enough to know the score when it comes to the political system. There's only one game--the lesser of the two evils-- and making sure the Republicans never win because they are fascists and have been for a long time. Pro-life terrorism is the proof. White people fell for the Republican bait, BIG TIME. Many white people are protective of their racial prerogatives in this society. They sold their souls in return for a symbolic position--"at least I'm not black, Latino, muslim" etc. etc. Simply put they are craven people. The kind of people that stood in the background while they put nooses on neck
