Elephant in the room

47. Sanders' "problem" with BLM is no better or worse than any other candidate.

BLM is not Sanders' "black problem." BLM is the LEAST of his worries.

That's just the element his supporters keep pointing to--angrily--as though a couple of girls in Seattle somehow 'ruined it' for him with the black people.

Bravenak tried to tell people here what his problem was, back when she was a Sanders supporter. The "crew" here would not tolerate any criticism, and they alerted on her until they got rid of her, and they lost her voice and her support, too. Talk about stupid.

Sanders, with all his working man economic policy cure-all/refusal to acknowledge institutional racism is the problem--all by himself. He doesn't resonate with people who KNOW better than he does about the reality of living in non-white skin every moment of their lives. He just doesn't get it, and he doesn't really know how to back up and tack in a new direction. He's stubborn, maybe--doesn't want to admit he's wrong or something. I don't know and I don't really care. The "supporters" of Bernie here are so sure of themselves that there's no point trying to have an intelligent conversation with them about why POC will never migrate to the guy--he just doesn't have it. And without that "it," he's not getting them out to wait in line for four to six hours just to vote.
