(5,818 posts)that does not encompass the broad composition of the Democratic Party in a very diverse state seems like a slap in the face to the electorate, even when it comes to music for a rally.

(23,720 posts)And you determine what is diverse based upon whether or not you've heard of someone? Just how does that work? Exactly where is Sanders lacking cultural diversity? Please be specific in your answer.
Thanks in advance.
ProgressiveEconomist
(5,818 posts)cultural diversity"?
Look at exit polls, and also look at the videos of the crowds at tonight's rallies. The rallies sound like the kinds of events that will get great coverage in tomorrow's news shows, along with declarations of HRC's presumptive nominee status. Bernie's crowd is going to make him look like an isolated sore loser, while Hillary's exultant crowd will reflect the diversity of the Democratic Party-- that's my prediction.
notadmblnd
(23,720 posts)You were posting about diversity in regards to who was appearing at his rally. IIRC you said "Stevie Wonder VS Dave Matthews.....blah, blah, blah"
So in no way was this about his exit polls. So again, please explain what your point was in regards to who plays at Sander's rally?
If you meant to imply that the artists that perform at Sander's rallys aren't black enough- and that Sanders is a bigot by extension- you were just proved wrong.

Still, both are excellent. DMB might actually broaden appeal for Sanders like I mentioned for Clinton.

(11,546 posts)"Does Bernie have no Democratic cultural sensitivity whatever?"
I have no idea what you mean by this. Because he is having Dave Matthews play he is culturally insensitive? Or maybe because Stevie is blind and Bernie doesn't have a musician with a disability playing he is culturally insensitive?
This is a nonsensical post,

(11,546 posts)and thanks. It's absolutely the stupidest post I've seen here in a while. And that's saying something
ProgressiveEconomist
(5,818 posts)counts, and subsequent endorsements of Hillary as presumptive nominee by President Obama and his coalition, many news outlets finally maymay decide there is no reason to interview Sanders until after the GE.
Hillary's lineup at the Greek Theater has been known for weeks. Couldn't Bernie at least have come up with a lineup of well-known musicians just as diverse as Hillary's for what likely may be his last hurrah?
