Pretty classy misogyny there man. Vaginas can take a hit like no other genitalia.

The protesters who never got a chance to say anything because they were talked over by an old white man until they were taken away? Yeah, they didn't get a lot of info out there, for some weird reason.

Bernie needed to show, in that moment, that he was willing to listen. He needed to prove that his 'man of the people' act wasn't just a bullshit stunt, and that people in prominent groups that matter to a lot of people in the black community can have a voice while he has a voice. He had a chance to hand the floor over to them long enough to engage with them, and instead he acted like a grandfather with an occupied lawn.

I'm not saying that it means that the protestors were in the right or that it's a particularly good idea in any other circumstances. I'm saying that Bernie needed to make a big, positive splash with minority communities early on in the race, and that was his chance to get it done. He chose not to do it, and the demographics make it pretty clear that that's what lost him the race.

The 'old white man' was trying to reason with them. He offered them a chance to speak after Sanders. He was gonna let them use the podium and everything.

They didn't get anything out there because they're incapable of being reasonable. I doubt they had anything worth hearing anyhow. Those two didn't seem like the brightest tools in the shed by a long shot.

This is pretty much the attitude taken by Bernie Bros, and that's why he lost.

Its exactly what happened. The guy offered them a chance to speak and they just kept screaming at him.

Pair of fucking idiots imo. Threw away their chance to get their message out on live Tv because they had to act like idiotic thugs instead of reasonable people.

Honestly blm is a bit of a joke now thanks to shit like this.

I agree - he could have just pretended a guest speaker was part of the plan and played it off better, even if they were paid agitators. The whole situations was very drawn out and awkward. Opportunity blown unwisely.
