Why Bernie Sanders’ problems with black voters go much deeper than him just blaming the media

108. Ultimately what count are VOTES... OUR votes! Money only buys visibility

And lately Bernie has been raising a LOT of money, even if not from traditional CORPORATIST sources that so many candidates have done recently that have corrupted their mission that is supposed to be supporting the voting populace, not those paying for their campaigns.

Maybe in more recent elections, not using Super PACs might not have worked, but many of us, as well as analysts are seeing that this election represents a revolutionary (for lack of a better term) time where the public is increasingly FED UP with bought politicians, which explains why Donald Trump is upsetting Republicans in leading polls when he's the only one that's not being "bought" by other people's money. He may represent the wealthy, since he is wealthy himself, but he's at least his own person more, which I think resonates with Republicans, as disgusting as he may be as a person to many of us. But that reflects a larger consensus of American voters that don't want someone that is "bought and paid for" any more and is more conscious of when the PTB is pushing their money to get certain people elected.

For so long POC have had to endure abuse of a state that hasn't worked to help them get rights that they've sought for centuries now. There aren't many times when opportunity presents itself to introduce fundamental change to a state's system to make a difference and get that sort of change to happen. Many of us believe that time is now, and that Bernie is the one person that is trying to make that real change. I've yet to see people's explanation of why he isn't that person, and why that sort of change he tries to have happen isn't something they also want, and how the status quo will ultimately help them, when it has failed for so many years now to do so in its present corrupt state.

Obama also turned down public campaign financing dollars too. I believe that Bernie will make a point of taking these dollars this time around, as it is something he'd like to see more the way we finance elections in the future to take out the BRIBING (and make that offense a crime again as it used to be before corruption "redefined" that action) out of the system.
