Is not a very convincing pic (you don't see the irony here?) and no, the Dem establishment opposing Sanders isn't AA voters. Yes, Biden won the older AA vote, which is fine. The contest is very far from over.

Many times he's clueless about African Americans. You think we didn't notice he didn't go to the Selma commemoration, the only major Dem candidate who didn't come.

It's NOT

The Establishment are the ones who really decide the delegates & superdelegates...the ones who run the DNC are NOT just average people, but people who are invested with money and contacts that steer the party and hence, ARE the Establishment. They prefer the status quo and like to be in control...

There's "Establishment" on ALL sides, and they are literally the ones that hold Bernie in contempt because he would tax them, and change the rules so they would not have the power they currently do.

Just my 2cents

He has referred to Planned Parenthood as "establishment," as black voters in SC as "establishment."

There's "establishment" on all sides, to be sure. Bernie is one of them, as are all elected officials.

BTW, did you know he's a "superdelegate?"

The "deep state" is just the state -- government employees doing their jobs and upholding laws as they swore to.

And the "democratic establishment" is mostly just Democrats voting. I voted for Bernie four years ago, but not this time.
