(42,674 posts)I like to pay attention to trends. Twitter fascinates me--it is much like flocks of birds getting ready for migration, and a powerful social media tool. When AA voices are speaking-they are speaking to millions.
I've written off the "bros" the same way I've written off Trump supporters--not worth pursuing. Who is worth pursuing however, are the African American vote as well as the historically non-political. The disaffected Bernie supporters who reluctantly supported Hillary are as appalled at Trump as anyone decent should be, and I'm not overly concerned about them doing the right thing. I am concerned about Democratic unity however. The racial divide was a deep one. Sanders let the narrative get away from him once, I believe he should stay on top of it. He too, influences millions.
