(46,155 posts)I see so many strategic non-starters posted here from my fellow Sanders supporters. Things that just IMMEDIATELY alienate undecideds or soft HRC supporters. Whenever I point out that, I either get ignored or yelled at.
I honestly think the poster of that thread is just naive. Probably means well and has no idea how it would come off.
At any rate, to assume BLM and the other sites he mentions are unaware of the Cornell West endorsement and need to be educated about it will backfire no matter what the intentions.
As to talking anybody out of this. Unfortunately many of them have really doubled down so much on subtly and not so subtly insulting the intelligence of AA voters that they can't be talked out of it.
And nobody knows better than you how eager some are to twist words and just make up shit . . .
