(34,648 posts)That has been his entire problem. I swear he said white folks dont know what it is to be poor or in the ghetto. He only discusses black issues around poverty, crime, and teen unemployment and black lives matter.
I get that he is a good person. But he lacks perceptive abilities to see the bigger picture. He is laser focused on one thing so hard, he has not taken time to become good at others. He wrote off the south, where the bulk of us live and have an actual huge say in primaries. That is just offensive. The nasty attacks on black southern voters by people are just too much. I would expect him to notice that his decision has had an effect on relations between us and his 'grassroots'. I know many of us are willing to ignore it for policy. But I know aint no policy COMING, so that's all i can get is a perceptive person who will LISTEN. Not just tell me what he wants to do and push wonderful ideas, that nobody can pass. That gets me nothing. No policy. And no attention to my issues.
