(50,254 posts)The fact that they didn't support him for the nomination doesn't mean they will automatically oppose anyone or anything connect4d with Bernie.
And nobody said that the votes of black people in the south shouldn't be counted...just that their situational support they gave Secretary Clinton on Super Tuesday didn't obligate the other campaign to end.
By the best of both campaigns, I simply meant the civil rights emphasis people associated with the Clinton campaign and the economic justice commitment of the Sanders campaign. That is, that we need to stand strongly for both-against hate AND against greed. Do you disagree with that?
We need Sanders AND Clinton people and the most progressive things both supported.
BTW, you know perfectly well I never defended any bad behavior on the part of Sanders supporters.
