It was a move so subtle and understated it will probably go unnoticed by the majority of people. In a debate where Bernie was constantly attacked for praising Castro, even though he didn’t, Bernie dropped a quote from one of the most pro-Castro world leaders to hold power. Here is where it get’s spicy Mandela was not only pro Cuba, he was pro-Castro. However, because I know the nature of the Democrats who support people like Warren or Biden, I know for a fact at some point most of them will have shared some cliche inspiration porn memes, and you know at least one of them had a Mandela quote. It came from all angles on the stage, and from random pundits on twitter who weren’t going to vote for Bernie anyway. So of course I am going to be excited when the candidate I have followed since Occupy is giving Mandela a shout out.īut, here is why Bernie dropping a Mandela quote at the end of that debate was a move of politcal genius:Īs mentioned above, Bernie has been getting attacked for complimenting the Cuban Literacy Program.

Because while all of the other candidates clamored for attention, Bernie kept his cool and played the political chess he is so good at.īernie has been getting attacked recently for complementing the Cuban Literacy Program, saying nothing worse than what Obama had said in 2008, Bernie simply pointed out that while Castro was a dictator, the Cuban government was successful in reducing illiteracy to 3%.īernie did not back down from the position either, he kept his cool and stood by his statements. Yet despite a hostile crowd and attacks from all directions, I think Bernie proved why he is the front runner. ![]() ![]() Needless to say, the crowd was not on Bernie’s side that night. It was held in South Carolina and tickets to the event cost an average of $1750. Last night was the last Democratic Party debate before Super Tuesday. ![]()
