A plea to Bernie Sanders supporters.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

151. As to Bernie's record,

I believe you are right. As I say, most of what I know about him and racial issues, I have learned in about the last two weeks and I am still on a learning curve. My gut tells me that what you are saying is correct, because as I gather more data points they are all pretty much positive. Certainly his words and actions today cut in that direction very strongly.

One motivation in my post is that black polling support for Hillary is currently very high. I suspect that the intensity of that support is not great, yet the numbers are currently big in the wrong direction. Without black primary voters, I think Bernie's chances to win the nomination are significantly reduced. So we (Bernie backers), have some evangelical work to do, so to speak, and so does Bernie.

Reaching out with love and respect, we have a chance to get our message out. When we jump on people who are disagreeing with us, we can easily make matters worse, see my point? I wasn't saying everybody is doing that, but I have seen some talking past people and shouting at people. Those behaviors take us farther from, rather than closer to, our goal of winning hearts and minds. You may disagree with my assessment of whether some of that is going on, but I hope you can appreciate my bona fides intent.
