Bernie Sanders lost New York. I mean he got some delegates, but he is way behind
Hilary Clinton in terms of delegates. Looks like he has a slim chance of becoming
the Democratic candidate for president. Sanders is a favorite of some of my facebook
friends. I think of him as a Social Justice Warrior running for president. Back in
the day, like 50 years ago, he was marching for desegregation. Nowadays though, I have
no problem considering him an SJW. One example of what I don't like
about Sanders comes from when he was confronted by Blacks Lives Matter protesters.

The women rudely interrupted Sanders during his speech, and got right in front of the
podium. They were completely disrespectful to whoever it was in the hat, that tried to
calm things down. What did Sanders do in this situation. He pandered to the women,
and kissed ass. He even offered a handshake at first, which wasn't accepted. He moved
aside, and let them speak. He let them take over what was supposed to be his time.
Even Bernie's ass kissing wasn't enough to get him out of this one. While some people
may see this as some great act of restraint , I thought that it went to far. They talked
down to him, and he didn't even speak to defend himself. This seems like the SJW way of
dealing with blacks. As many white SJWs appear afraid to criticize blacks, unless that black person is an extreme conservative.
I can see why some of my SJW facebook friends like Bernie so much. He wants to raise
minimum wage to 15$ an hour. I've read articles from financial experts on the topic, and none of
them thought that this was a good idea. It isn't a good idea to raise minimum wage that
high anytime in the near future. It would lead to massive layoffs, and even greater
economic inequality. He wants women to get equal salary, but hasn't addressed the main
causes for that wage gap. Women work less hours than men, and are more likely to work
in lower paying fields.
It isn't that Hilary Clinton is great. She's a liar, an opportunist, and her idea of
raising minimum wage to 12$ isn't realistic either. Still Clinton has an understanding
that change is brought about slowing. Sanders seems to not give a fuck. He wants to
change minimum wage to 15 bucks. He wants to change up Wall Street in a way that seems completely unrealistic for the next 4 or 8 years.
Maybe if Bernie can't become president he can tell those BLM women who protested his
event to bend over, while he chews their asses out.
