41. Chakrabarti was AOC's chief of staff. She was part of it.

[lillypaddle]

42. I have very mixed feeling about AOC

a heavy dose of admiration mixed with plenty of STFU.

[brush]

43. She/they need to stop trying to primary incumbent Dems, especially since...

10. Excellent message, thanks Hakeem!*

*I was born in his District. Of course he wasn't the Congressman there 72 years ago.

[Walleye]

11. It occurred to me that the black folks have been carrying this country since the beginning

[ehrnst]

23. Especially the women...

[Rebl2]

27. You got that right!

[brush]

40. I'll have you know no other ethnic segment, some 88%, votes...

reliably Democratic as we black men (except black women who we try to keep up with). No other group is close so doh't leave out black men.

[Walleye]

18. People should be asking why Bernie skipped Selma

It goes to his true values and should have received more media coverage.

[ehrnst]

19. +1000.

[iluvtennis]

38. +1001. nt

[phandancer917]

25. To be fair....

...he has been in this fight for 50 years - he has the real creds for this debate.

I do not want Sanders a President for a multitude of reasons -- but his lifelong dedication to Social justice certainly is NOT a reason.

[padah513]

33. Still doesn't explain why he skipped Selma

No one is questioning his credentials, just his judgment. Personally, I'd like to hear the reason why.

[CaptYossarian]

47. He should have learned after what John Lewis said in 2016.

He should be trying harder.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. Black folks may have expressed their opinion on the white supremacists in our government.

I hope they smack the smirk out of GOPers in November.

[William769]

21. Kick & recommended.

[phandancer917]

24. I would love for Congressman Jeffries....

34. What about Trump's southern supporters?

What about Trump's southern supporters?

Donald called Jeff Sessions a 'dumb southerner' and they still love him.

After all, he 'tells it like it is'.

[ehrnst]

44. What does this have to do with voters of color?

And a large number of Trump supporters who live in Northern states....like Iowa and NH...

[calimary]
