(14,756 posts)If they had to choose between the two during the primary. With Hillary, following behind her husband's long standing work with the AA community, having a big leg up, which the Clintons worked for, deserved, and I do not disparage. But stop making this into a re-fight between the two. The primaries are over. I know thats hard for some to understand, even at this late date.
And this inflammatory opinion piece, by one person, is also full of unsubstantiated 'facts'. Like "Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic primary in large part because he failed to win the hearts of black progressives." Even though the article I posted also posts a link to back up that he DID win the black millennial voters in the primaries, who I would contend would be the most progressive of the black demographic. and which is kinda important going forward.
This is now. Hillary does not have a job (unfortunately) but Sanders does and is pushing on. That contest is over. That poll of 73% support was from less than a year ago, and it did not include any vs. scenerio. It was posted simply to show he was and is supported by the vast majority of black voters for who he is, what his platform is and how it would help improve their lives. So please stop p...ing on someone that the majority of the Black community respects and supports.
There is only one other person I see and read about who is constantly regurgitating the name "Hillary Clinton" to compare against in some kind of way to make themselves look better.
