Exactly. The kids of the Jewish guy I worked for have SE Michigan accents. I did’t know the other guy’s kids, but these men only lived about a mile apart in Ann Arbor, and their kids all went to the same schools.

Exactly. Bernie Sanders doesn’t speak with a standard Brooklyn accent. His accent is a variation found in the children of the Jewish immigrants who arrived in New York in the early 20th century. The modern Brooklyn accent doesn’t sound like that at all.
Then again, most people can’t tell a Boston accent from a New York accent, even though they’re night and day different. So I might be overestimating what people are able to pick up.

That finger point is literally the first thing my mind registered. Of course he’s going to be the DNC’s top choice.

I would like to point out that 1. it is his turn and 2. all the actual dirt he’s done in the last 30 years has already been forgiven. Largely.

Don’t forget that he’s so deep in the pockets of Democratic Party fundraisers that he can use Henry Munoz’s socks as mittens electable!
