It was well-posted about here on DU. And she is not "my candidate". She is A candidate running for President in the Democratic party primary. You know what they say about "assuming".
But you admit that Clinton (Bill) made his presence known in the black politic of NYC - despite all the barbs that he took for it when he did it. As a southerner, he essentially dove head first into the midst of the symbolic and historic land of the northern black and undoubtedly picked up a few pointers in the interim given that the black-white dynamic in the south is very different from the black-white dynamic in the north (something that was also discovered during the 2008 SC primary and obviously corrected in the 2016 one).
But the question again is - why did Bernie put down his signs, and pick up his family and flee? 
Some of the most vocal activists that shared his ideologies and who chose to move around to other areas of the country, migrated to places where their voices could be heard and things could get done, including places like CA (notably northern in the Bay area), a state far far more diverse than VT. When in VT, what did he do as mayor to promote diversity outside of endorsing Jesse Jackson in 1988?
