I don’t object to her positions but I really hope she stops pulling shit like this.

Bernie won in those states and other even more red ones because of white racism against Hillary’s core black supporters and the perception that she would’ve continued Obama’s legacy. Bernie wasn’t ever going to win places like Kansas, Indiana, Nebraska or Idaho in a general election and could easily have done far worse in many of the states she lists. I don’t think she’s far left, but I do think that like many on the far left she’s probably prone towards a revisionist view of 2016 that places all blame on Hillary while dismissing Bernie’s responsibility for the harm he irresponsibly inflicted in furtherance of his own ego after the primary nomination was locked up.

I don’t know. I think she has a real good point. If you are running against a Republican and you base your campaign on running as a Republican light, you are going to lose every time.

Just get in there and call them out for the assholes that they are, and for the policies that fuck the average voter right up the ass.

Why not? What have you got to lose? The tweaking of the status quo ante is just a loser of a campaign policy when what is needed is fundamental change.
