Bernie Sanders hires new black press secretary (who supports BLM)

So you admit that Sanders hasn't done anything wrong and he's essentially screwed with the Black vote regardless?

I never said he did anything wrong. My point was about name recognition.

No. Your point was about how Sanders can't win the Black vote because Vermont only has 1% Black people.

Vermont sounds like a terrible state for the Jesse Jackson campaign. I'm sure he wouldn't get the endorsement of the largest city's mayor and win the caucus there.

No. I didn't say he couldn't win the Black vote because Vermont is only 1% Black, what I was saying that is that he hasn't had much experience campaigning to black voters. Most black voters are not like the Black Lives Matter people who pushed him off stage, yet he reacted to that by hiring a black press secretary that supports the movement.

This is blatant pandering to blacks and if Clinton did it she'd be attached mercilessly.

Like I said before:

What an unbelievably patronising thread. Hardly any better than the "still on the plantation" rhetoric you hear from the right. The idea that black people will vote for someone just because you show people a couple of pictures of them and Jesse Jackson together is patently absurd and takes the audience for easily swayed simpletons.

It's clear that Sanders' approach to appealing to black voters is highly superficial and will not work.

Talking about issues doesn't work.

Straight up pandering  doesn't work.

So how DO you win the Black vote?

Apparently the only way is to be related to previous Democratic president and have 100% name recognition.

This is one of those impossible logic circles. It's like accusing someone of being an addict apropos of nothing and then responding to anything they say with "Oh, well that's exactly what an addict would say."

The people who have decided Bernie has an issue with black people require no proof, and no counter evidence will sway them.
