Not to hijack your point, but this would require liberals to actually do things for the working class, so they'll just pretend everyone outside the blue wall hates democracy instead.

The point really is that Bernie isn't a liberal and is talking to everyone. Liberals are created by the Democratic party talking points and incapable of changing the party platform. Liberals just receive and act passively.

I was more addressing the part about how people like to dismiss the South as hopeless racists, and trying to explain that using the fact any other interpretation would require liberals to confront their own failures and hypocrisies. On the other hand while Bernie has his problems, he doesn't beat around the bush and directly addresses people's problem, so his words resonate everywhere.

YOU get it! So goddamned sick of social media beating my ass for living in the South. The racism is nowhere near what it's made out to be, seen worse up North. The conservative governance is fucking appalling though.
