I don't like it when Bernie does it, I don't like it when DT does it & I don't like it when Biden does it.

They go to Church to pray & sing to God. They get lessons from the bible by their minister.

Hey, I severely criticized the priests & ministers who TOLD their parishioners who to vote for and who to turn against. I very strongly believe in the separation of church & state. It' much better for everyone!

civic organization. That is where a politician can reliably find a Black crowd in places like Mississippi and Alabama/Arkansas. Biden is expected to romp in MS, even if he didn't even show up there, but he showed up out of obligation and respect.

setting foot there. But he has people there that are friends and he wants to commune with his friends. Compare that to the transactional behavior of Sanders.
