(35,454 posts)That the older ladies of color were for Biden. It's all going to change as we move along,there's over a year and I wonder how our primary will be affected now that 3 people (so far) are going to run against the traitor.

(14,312 posts)I am amazed at the antagonism by Warren supporters towards Sanders supporters. When they are so close in policy. Makes no sense.
I don't have the link, but I saw a primary tracker where supporters are asked who their second and third choices were. Sander's supporters second choice was Warren. Makes sense if you care about policy over things like skin colour or gender. Warren supporter's second choice was not Sanders. He was not even their third choice. To me that seems totally whack. Shouldn't a candidates platform....how their propositions would affect you, your family, your country.....be paramount? So why wouldn't your second choice be someone who embodies the closest platform to your preferred candidate?

(14,312 posts)None of the candidates are going to be your bestie. You won't be having them over for dinner. You don't have to live with them.
Sanders can be a grumpy looking old man who barks rather than speaking sometimes. A bit short tempered. Dishevelled, and gruff. That is not important to me if his policies line up with my own values. I didn't vote for George W Bush because he was more 'likeable" and I could have a beer with him, over Gore who seemed much less homey and stiff in front of the cameras. Maybe some did, but I though more liberal folks were smarter than that.

(10,392 posts)Bernie stands aloof from the party and has never been a team player. He can't get much done all by himself. That crew of Jill Stein voters he surrounded himself with gives me no confidence in who might populate a theoretical Sanders administration.

(30,958 posts)When he was late in conceding and dragged his feet before supporting Clinton. It started to seem like he was being driven by his ego and didn't care about having a Democratic win.

(2,227 posts)Does that mean more blacks prefer the turd over Pete?
I believe I know the reason...
Apparently irony is still in vogue. After all, this is an Essence poll.

(46,154 posts)Trump 1.0%
Buttigieg 0.6%
The dual swords of my fellow POC's homophobia (especially against gay men) and then his problems with the South Bend Police Department have done him in.
Madness that more black women chose Rump than Pete.
Hopefully this is an outlier poll.

(8,147 posts)to vote More points are not awarded by age. A range of ages will vote. That full range is not included in the poll you cite, which can only provide a break-down in ages of potential voters support.
Bernie definitely speaks to younger voters. Hes talking Revolution, so of course.
If theres one thing I like about him it is his ability to engage the political imagination of youth.
