9. Even though Bernie rarely mentions it...

voting rights has been one of Hillary's major efforts for a long time. She mentioned it early in her campaign. In the Sunbelt and South, it's an issue that ranks up there with a path to citizenship.

Hillary gets it, and these efforts are great for the Democratic party. In Florida, there are more undocumented than the entire population of Vermont. In Florida, there are more disenfranchised voters than the entire population of Vermont.

Bernie does not seem to understand that economics will not affect the major social justice issues faced by the vast majority of the county. Sadly, much of the focus on Vermont and NH are actually in a bubble that doesn't matter for millions of Americans. As the primaries move to SC, Nevada, and below the Mason Dixon line, Bernie needs to change message or he will be trounced.
