The problem is not that they are old and white, it’s that they are taking corporate bribes and don’t give a shit about the next generation.
That’s not the case with Bernie. He’s too old now, but ten years ago he was more than good enough to make up for his oldness and his whiteness. Making himself a platform for AOC to stand on was a good thing as well.
I’ll take AOC for sure but I won’t make exceptions for Bernie. There’s no point to a rule or belief if you make exceptions
“Killing is bad”
(Crazed shooter begins murdering people in a crowd, policeman aims a gun at him)
“No! Don’t shoot! We can’t make exceptions to our rule, it would only make us as bad as him.”
I wouldn't say a "policeman" would do that (see uvalde lol). Nowadays I trust a regular ass dude (who isn't a conservative nutjob) with a gun way more than any pig.
Again, the problem its not “ old and white” that would be stupid. It’s that a majority of the old white people take corporate bribes and care more about power than anything else. This applies to young non white folks as well. They also need to go if they take bribes and care about staying in power more than helping the people.
Not sure why this is confusing..
