Sanders to Intensify Pitch to Black Voters

[firebrand80]

What the hell were you waiting for??

Bernie is being poorly served in some areas by his advisors.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is turning up the volume on his talking points appealing to black voters, a new report says.

The Democratic presidential candidate plans on sweetening his message for the critical voting bloc before multiple voting contests this weekend and early next week, according to BuzzFeed.

2. He is trying, but the cards are stacked against him.

A guest on Democracy Now was criticizing Sanders for his approach to winning black votes on the grounds that Sanders was focusing on mass incarceration and police brutality too much and ignoring economic issues. So I guess it has come full circle, lol.

3. Most bizarre campaign I've ever seen.

5. Yup

He didn't stick around in South Carolina when he was trounced.

Instead he decided to fly to Minnesota as the returns were coming in.

Now he wants to do more to reach out to black voters?

This is a very sad spectacle indeed.

4. Too little too late.

He already blew it.

6. What about his campaign and message...

...doesn't appeal to black voters? His campaign is literally about everyone, no matter who you are.

7. Yeah the first thing I thought of was

I thought his message was already loud enough? His first confrontations with BLM changed his campaign for the better and I thought his message regarding the plight of AA's was really good. Better than Hillary's by far.
