But maybe this person needs to do a national commercial explaining to blacks and Jackie Wilson Said Apr 2016 #4

Maybe this person is one of Bernie's "rural" supporters, and the talking points only just arrived IamMab Apr 2016 #9

You're not-so-subtly insinuating that Hillary is basically a Pied Piper Tarc Apr 2016 #58

Pied Piper? Interesting metaphor. You should expand it beyond African American TheDormouse Apr 2016 #66

Perhaps Sanders and his followers should spend more time actually appealing to issues A-As Tarc Apr 2016 #74

I missed where Sanders supporters were putting down African Americans TheDormouse Apr 2016 #89

Many Bernie supporters have had threads hidden at the DU for alleging Tarc Apr 2016 #113
