I voted for Sanders. Saying that, I wish
...he had done more group specific outreach. His prison reform position is so important, he coulda/shoulda/woulda targeted people and families that have been victims or activists of our prison system. They could have been very influential in minority communities.
He could have personally asked community and political leaders for their vote. I think if Clyburn had been asked to support Bernie, he would have.
it would have been beneficial if Bernie had been more active with Occupy Wall Street and police reform groups. That would have given him a base years before the election started.
Just my opinion.
VOTE!!

(58,785 posts)worked to exhaustion week after week. She's done splendidly at all the debates, and the 13-hour Benghazi hearing wowed the nation. Her hair's in campaign mode. Talking heads like to claim she could have said something "else" or "more" at various points that would have just made the hostile questions and fake scandals go away, but we know that's not true.
All around, she's doing very well and that pretty much precludes any bumptious second-guessing of her campaign decisions from my lawn chair.

PS> doesn't matter which candidate. They and the DNC are all failing in voter registration & turnout.

(115 posts)This is so true and so important.
Also Bernie is right, the democratic party has given up on the South. We'll never elect more democrats in the South until we become active and support the candidates that do run.
