I voted for Bernie twice, but it sure is hard to not read this as a racist and sexist implication that the working class is just white men and she can’t relate to them.

I think you posted the wrong picture because that quote doesn’t imply any of that

Yikes. If this is a new statement, Bernie is seriously not reading the fucking room.

She just held a rally with Texas teachers and her stump speech specifically calls out unions! What on earth!!

This is an absurdly disingenuous read.

Is there further context? I do find it relatively easy to assume he means a broader working class.

The working class, to me, is more of colored and woman people, as anything. I am not reading that into the comment the sane way other folks are, for better or for worse?

Whatever it is I'm real fucking tired of people saying, "xyz is not going to win." Fuck off.

I am sorry but if you read this as sexist and racist you have Biden level brain function. You are searching for it hard. He says she can't win if she doesn't focus on working class. The hit he has screamed his entire fucking career.
