As you read, keep these two things in mind
(for what it's worth)
A professor told me a decade ago
that people who call themselves "independents"
vote republican two-thirds of the time.
AND
The charts below show average values for our variables by race and party. Although the plight of economically insecure white people has been placed at the center of much of the analysis of the election, our analysis indicates that black and Latino respondents tend to express significantly higher levels of economic peril compared to whites or Asians, who as a group, express below average levels of economic peril.
There is very little difference between Democratic and Republican partisans on this scale. Independents, however, express significantly higher levels of economic insecurity. Although Republicans and Democrats do not, on average, express different levels of economic anxiety, there are clear differences between Republicans and Democrats on the measures of racial attitudes towards African-Americans and the measure of pro-immigration attitudes.
Democrats express dramatically lower anti-black attitudes on both scales compared to Republicans or Independents. On the black influence animosity scale the divide between Democrats and Republicans is even greater than on the racial resentment scale. The average score of Obama to Trump voters on the black influence animosity scale (.43) was far more similar to Trump voters (.48) than Clinton voters (.21). Obama to Trump voters also had an average score the immigration scale (.44) closer to Trump voters (.43) than Clinton voters (.69). Unsurprisingly, Republicans express significantly lower pro-immigration attitudes compared to Democratic partisans.

This is what Bernie Sanders keeps trying to cover up when he says it was economic anxiety that got the "white working class" to vote for Trump -- which was a lie from the start.
This is who Bernie Sanders is protecting by saying "stop playing the race card" ...excuse me...by saying let us stop with the "identity politics
This is who Bernie, the Bernie Bros, and a whole bunch of white establishment democrats are trying to suck back into the democratic party.
We do NOT need these white racists back in the party. We simply need to outvote them, same as we did on Tuesday November 7, 2017.
