Bakari Sellers: 1m+ black voters stayed home in 2016. Maybe Biden is the antidote






Follow me here.

One state has touched 2008 turnout models. Wildly, a state that Biden trounced competitors.

Biden also contrary to twitter did well with young black voters

1m+ black voters stayed home in 2016.

Maybe Biden is the antidote





Comment on this from Ben LaBolt:






This is really important. Bernie’s promise to turn out a wave of new voters to vote for him hasn’t happened. The state with massive turnout was the one Biden won. And it has mainly been up in the suburbs elsewhere.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

and is it surprise the AA vote is not going his way? Once the early primary states which were skewed with lack of minorites come into play, I suspect Biden's success only increases.
