Bernie is holding a town hall meeting in Flint, tonight.

The focus is racial and economic justice. He's scheduled 5 events in Michigan, through Sunday. He will be here on a really spectacular weather weekend.

Joe will be in Michigan for a fundraiser and a rally, in Detroit.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Interesting priorities. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #7

Maybe he can explain why he voted against the Flint water crisis funding. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #3

Yes I just read that. Hope Flint has a memory. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #4

Flint has a very good memory, I'm sure. MineralMan Mar 2020 #8

If not, they need to be reminded. I hope the Biden campaign won't be afraid to point it out. nt Tarheel_Dem Mar 2020 #10

Perhaps he has written off the south because of South Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, Virginia, etc.

...Alabama (not attending the march at Selma), South Carolina (skipping out on campaigning there before their election to instead rally in Massachusetts, etc.), and Mississippi (canceling his town hall there).

It's not a good look.

It's weird because, for a while, he was SOOOO supportive in keeping a spotlight on the issue. I get the whole 'poison pill' argument, but damn.

I asked my Bernie supporting niece if she's going but she said nope - they think they will go to a concert, instead. Hmmmm. There was a time she'd already have gotten in line.
