In reply to the discussion: NYT: Bernie Sanders Lags Hillary Clinton in Introducing Himself to Black Voters [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)and actually don't want him to expand himself to appeal to other voters. They have made that clear so many times.
When the black posters on this board voiced concern about Sanders not addressing issues that affected black communities, we were told that we were "manufacturing outrage" and that our concerns were "fake." Now that EVERYBODY IN AMERICA is starting to voice those same concerns, some people here are STILL pretending that these concerns are "fake" or, even better, part of some pro-Hillary conspiracy.
Honestly, do these sound like the musings of people who want their candidate to actually win? Does this sound like something politically savvy people who want to actually change American politics instead of endlessly whine and wail would say? It has always sounded to me that these are people that are pleased as punch that only a very narrow, very small, very insular group of people are roused by Bernie's candidacy. I guess it is much, much easier to be "pure" when you've only got a handful of people to worry about.
