Can we please stop pushing the 'DNC sabotaged Bernie Sanders' myth

148. Agreed, the DNC as a whole did not "take any action" to sway the 2016 Dem nomination

in favor of Hillary Clinton. Certain DNC individual members DID take such actions,
(sending emails), as was their right.

In the end, the 2016 Democratic nomination was decided on the basis of African-American primary voters....

... and the 2016 presidential election results were mostly decided by a lower African-American voting turnout---
especially in Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia---

and this was not so surprising--- after having elected and re-elected
the first African-American President--
the ALL-WHITE Clinton 2016 ticket was a HUGE LETDOWN for AA general election voters.

At the time, I argued that Sec. Clinton "MUST" choose an African-American running mate
on various internet sites--- but I'm just a guy on the internet, not a 'paid consultant', unfortunately.

Mrs. Clinton unfortunately chose to target the 'white middle'--
most of whom she didn't have a chance of winning over,
with a white-bread, so-called "safe" choice. She lost because AA voters
were not inspired by that choice.

President Joe Biden chose differently, and he won.


It is just my opinion, and I have no facts to back it up---
but I think that Bernie Sanders would have realized his weakness
with AA voters after the primaries, if he had won the nomination---

and would have chosen an AA running mate,
who would have become an instant celebrity,
and they would have won the general election in 2016
