How Bernie Sanders lost black voters

I get that vibe from her quite often. She's a Bernie supporter (You know the guy who marched with Dr. MLK), yet she starts EVERY SINGLE POST toward me with: "Another poor black us thread?". I find this to be quite revealing. I often wonder what Bernie himself would say to his supporters who behave, on his behalf, in this manner. That is why I said earlier that Bernie supporters are some of the "most undeservedly arrogant people with whom I've ever encountered.".

I said it before and I'll say it again. You didn't like it when I said it then and you won't like what I say now.

Bernie showed up in many states a virtual unknown to most everybody. He wasn't prepared to make the total effort needed to win over a justifiably skeptical black vote. That article stated clearly that there weren't enough resources available to his team specifically tasked with reaching out to the black vote. It was unrealistic that an old white man from Vermont could just take the same message to the whole country including southern black voters and get them to switch from Hillary after a few speeches. Hillary had built a relationship with that key delegation in the party and Bernie didn't give his effort enough time or resources to convince that group of voters to switch. I think he did the best he could with the time and resources he had but it wasn't enough.

I voted for Bernie and was a supporter early on. I followed the election just like others and to my eyes Bernie babies complain about the nomination "being stolen" when the reality is Bernie lost. A big reason was that he failed to garner much more than 10% of the Democratic Party's black vote.

But really, I might as well be talking to a Trump supporter. You aren't listening.

I'm not a Hillary supporter, so I have no idea. Nice deflection though.

Lol, no.
Not a deflection. I'm not a coward. It is the truth. You think that meme is an indictment? Nope, it's proof of him being a good guy, and that he gives a fuck.
What about women working for the Clinton foundation making 25% less than their male counterparts?
How about the trail of bodies that follow the Clintons on their political "journey"?
Hmmm?
Ignorance is bliss, I guess. The #1 reason voters will vote for Hillary, is that she isn't Donald. For real. Lol, "SETTLE FOR HILLARY"

You keep bringing up Hillary when I have clearly stated on many occasions that I am not a Hillary supporter. Read my words: I DON'T CARE.
