Thank you Hillary supporters!

[whatchamacallit]

Thanks for your deep concern and earnest efforts to help the Sanders campaign improve ties with the AA community. Gotta say, I was a bit confused at first;

Why would HRC supporters continuously hammer the Bernie camp on how abysmal we are with the concerns of PoC, warning us daily we'd better get it right if we want to win? Don't Hillary supporters know they're hurting themselves if they help Bernie get it right? Shouldn't they just keep quiet and let us cock it up?

Nope, they're here to help by golly! I've come to see the incessant criticism and admonishments to conform and appease for the noble and selfless gesture it is. Thanks so much!

1. I continue to not be worried about the black vote.

People of color will get to know Bernie and I think they will like what he has to say.

And if they don't, well then Bernie might lose. What can you do? People will make up their own minds.

5. That's how I feel too

All you'll get for dancing at the end of someone's strings or jumping through their flaming hoops is humiliation, especially when they really don't want you to change their minds. I'm good with the chips falling where they may. If PoC want Hillary I sincerely wish them luck.

8. Or Bernie can establish a relationship with a group who doesn't know him yet with attempts at ...

... relating.

Gore got 90% of the black vote, Kerry... who didn't even try... lost 2% of that vote

9. And Bernie will do that.

That's what he is doing now.

3. the idea that Bernie wasn't going to respond

And start talking about these issues was ridiculous. They are important to him and he's not going to take his ball and go home because some people think he's not being sincere. He'll continue talking about it even if his campaign ends tomorrow.

6. + 1000 Well Put !!!!!!!!!!

7. What is the breakdown of the AA vote

by age groups. Would MLK speeches be more appealing to the older crowd?

10. The notion that Bernie hasn't been talking about these issues all along is laughable

I'm sure there will be many more WTF moments to come.

4. They served the party well

Whenever people are allowed to speak, and they make sense, and they are heard, the Democratic Party as a whole improves.

It is called democracy in action. And the cure for an ill democracy is, simply, a larger dose of democracy.
