Kendrick Sampson, some dude I’ve never heard of but apparently is popular, is at TSU encouraging students to vote for the Democratic candidate for Senate, Beto O’Rourke.
His approach? “WHITE PEOPLE SUCK.”

Oh FFS…
When it comes to Ted Cruz and ‘Beto’ O’Rourke, ONE of them isn’t a “white person” …and it’s NOT Beto O’Rourke. https://t.co/2z30QUHbi5

Variations of the “old white” talking point have become so Pavlovian with the Left, that now they’re using it where it’s not even applicable.https://t.co/KmI3qIYeV8

Ted Cruz is 47. Beto O’Rourke is 46.
Ted Cruz is half Cuban. Beto O’Rourke…..is not. https://t.co/txrjMNDXH0

This is PATHETIC.
I guess he let the nickname trick him? Shouldn’t you know SOMETHING about people you’re stumping for?
So where did O’Rourke get the name ‘Beto’ from? Is he just trying to claim Latino minority status for votes and gave himself that nickname? How awfully @SenWarren of him.

His name is Robert and he’s a congressman from El Paso, he uses the name Beto which is short for “Roberto” to pander to his Hispanic constituents. Imagine if a conservative did that.

So you know… don’t let “old white men” decide your lives for you… by voting for a middle-aged white man running against a middle-aged half-Hispanic man.
DERP.
But here’s the thing… why does ANY of this even matter?!
WHY DON’T WE CUT THIS IDENTITY POLITICS BS OUT AND JUST VOTE FOR WHOEVER PROMOTES POLICIES WE AGREE WITH?
Or maybe that’s too hard for these people? They can only vote along racial lines, apparently?
