67. To clarify, I mean the HRC campaign people who kept attacking Bernie on race

They didn't need to do that, since HRC would have carried POC largely because she'd spent eight years campaigning for their votes.

The only reason I even mentioned the primaries was that another poster, for no reason I can imagine, started accusing "progressives", by which it looked as though that poster meant white Sanders supporters, of not caring about racism and of supporting policies that only benefit white people.

Not only has that never been true, I have no idea of why that would even have been posted in this thread.

Even if Bernie himself had flaws in communications on those issues, it's not fair to assume his supporters shares the shortcomings you saw in him. I was defending those supporters, not saying anything at all about the primaries. Most Sanders supporters, like most PEOPLE in real life,, were never like the people who were here in the primaries saying awful things.

I was defending, not attacking, and I'm sorry I managed to make it sound like attacking.
