If they were 50 years younger, this could have been a worldstar like moment, secret service with the black escalades and limos blocking off Pennsylvania so Trump and Bloomberg could run the head up.
Mark Penn thought the primaries were winner take allBut the south is where the delegates are. This is how Obama stomped Hillary. It's how Hillary stomped Bernie. You need to win those voters. Bernie was always going to be at a disadvantage because Biden has a connection with black people (Obama's VP), but he could have done far more to reach out to them.
I always quote this, but it's worth doing so again. In 2008 when asked why he campaigned in rural white republican districts where he knew he'd lose, Obama said he did it because just showing your face and talking to people there would result in a 15 point loss instead of a 30 point loss. That cold blooded focus on margins is what you need to win. Hillary ignored those places in 2016 and racked up a lot of 30-40 point losses. Biden isn't going to make that mistake. Bernie is making it right now by not even trying to reach out these voters. It might be too late.
This nikka is spazzin.
Fam, he mixed up his wife and sister last night.

General elections =/= primarysCan someone answer this question? We’ve quickly pivoted away from the claim that Bernie is a great general election candidate who will mobilize working class and non voters, to moral resignation that he can’t do establishment politics. If he can’t win over any of these essential voting blocs, what’s the point?
It’s ironic because we’ve heard ad-nauseum about how the establishment wing of the Dem party sucks at politics and can’t win, but now they’re unbeatable when they back their candidate?
Good for him. If has the change who he is, then it's not worth it.Again, I think religion is an overlooked factor in Bernie’s relations with Black voters, especially older and southern ones. Bernie is a nonreligious Jew who never talks about God and doesn’t go to Black churches and clap offbeat then pretend to be the white substitute pastor like Biden cause it isn’t him. Not being part of the Black church’s political infrastructure has to be a big hindrance.
i'm not saying have a conversation about black problems, i'm saying explain why you're platform helps them. yall keep conflating points (or posters, i'm not on the run a black agenda or bust train). bernie takes painstaking measures to explain how his platform lifts up working class people, you can do the same with black people. here's why my overarching GND helps your community - it gets rid of issue xyz that disproportionately is found in your community, etc. not create a specific plan for issue x in black communityHaving a conversation about black problems you have no intention of actually fixing is pandering imo.
I dont see the difference between lying in people's faces and not showing up.
