(19,537 posts)Just because there are more photos out there of her with other people doesn't necessarily mean she's meeting them far more than Bernie, or that Bernie somehow isn't meeting that many of them.
If you want to sell me more, perhaps a good homework assignment is to ask her, or one of your friends ask her, if she actually gives any of you access to question her, why she supported Barry Goldwater, when Goldwater campaigned AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of the 60's and voted against it. Has she ever tried to explain why that issue didn't make a difference in whether she supported him or not? An honest answer of what was going through her mind then on what her rationale was for supporting him might help a lot of us feel more comfortable supporting her, and perhaps more comfortable feeling that many POC have genuine reasons to support her, instead of these unexplained holes that seem pretty wide to us and are areas where Bernie is far more consistent and on the right side of things for both POC and the rest of America throughout his career.
