Who voted, and who are they? This is something I've recently discovered, and it was not obvious.

WHAT?? Is he f****** serious?
That's the stupidest, most paranoid bullshit I've heard in a long time.
Is this what you're hanging your hat on?

(12,689 posts)Clinton won the black vote by a larger margins than Obama did in some places, which suggests that they is a great dislike for Sanders among black voters. Considering that he is dismissive of their votes, it's understandable.

(12,689 posts)What matters now is how dismissive he is of the black vote. It's ok though, voters make their choices and black voters did not choose him.

(6,073 posts)Dismissive of the black vote is a lie. The facts I posted are true. Maybe some will begin to care when they find themselves dealing with Trump as President.

(12,689 posts)Secretary Clinton cleaned our clock in the Deep South. No question about it. We got murdered there. That is the most conservative part of this great country. Thats the fact. But you know what? Were out of the Deep South now. And were moving up.
Considering that most of the black vote in the Democratic primary is concentrated in the South and that black voters really are not all that conservative, this is dismissive.

(6,073 posts)Your claim is much like most of your logic. Nonsense. How could they vote against Bernie because months later he would be dismissive of their vote? You can time travel in your mind, not in real life though.

Any way you look at it, however, it's not a sign of a healthy party.
We need to work on that, rediscover our roots and principles.
