87% of African Americans view Hillary Clinton favorably

301. I suggest we revisit this thread in the summer of 2016

for first-hand evidence of what went wrong with Sanders candidacy. I wonder if he realizes he has supporters who feel so entitled that they not only talk down to and demean African American voters, but insist a white man knows more about civil rights than a woman or an African American?

People cannot claim to advance the concerns of the majority when they refuse to consider that the majority even has the ability to make their own political decisions. When Sanders supporters go around flexing their class and race entitlement, it becomes impossible to believe they are concerned about anyone but themselves. There is a very ugly politics of exclusion going on that is reactionary to the core. Is is destined for failure, just as the GOP's politics of exclusion is destined for failure. It simply isn't possible to treat the most reliable Democratic voters as lesser and hope to succeed electorally. I now see that his failure is inevitable, not because of Clinton, money, or the media but because of supporters like those posting in this thread.
