Guy Saperstein previously said South ‘dumbing down’ national politics
WFB:
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) kicked off his first “grassroots” fundraiser of the 2020 election cycle with an introduction from a progressive megadonor who thinks the South has been “dumbing down” American politics and asked if we “could just let the South secede.”
Sanders’s fundraiser, which took place at the Mezzanine Night Club in San Francisco last weekend, attracted activist Cornel West, Ben and Jerry’s founder Ben Cohen, and actor Danny Glover, the New York Times reported.
Guy Saperstein introduced Sanders at the “grassroots” fundraiser. A retired lawyer and wealthy California progressive megadonor, Saperstein is, the Times notes, the “kind of person who, in another context, Mr. Sanders might inveigh against.” Saperstein attempted to nudge Elizabeth Warren into the 2016 presidential race and pledged $1 million to back her candidacy at the time.
Saperstein also has strong views on the south, which he said is “dumbing down” America. Saperstein made the comments in Gamechanger Salon, a leftwing Google group that consisted of the nearly 1,000 members, including progressive organizers, activists, and reporters. MORE

The truth is, Southern people are too smart for bernie – he just can’t understand them. If he wants to see stupid, he should look in the mirror.
I’m pretty sure dude is saying if you’re from the South, you shouldn’t vote for Bernie.
When you look at Bernie, do you see:

@MJA – sorry, just read the headline and not the article.
Does this guy run with the same crowd that thinks his voters are too stupid to get an I.D.?
Yes. The barefoot hayseeds at Vanderbilt are really blowing the curve for the rest of us.
