Because you've got a whole lot of people in that other 1 out of 4. I'm sick of headlines and news stories being framed to make it seem like the two Democratic campaigns are racially segregated. Blaring headlines like Why Black People Support Clinton are exactly what I mean. It erases millions of people who do prefer Sanders, who do trust him more, who are sick of establishment politics. It's annoying to say the least.

Obviously, you've not read The Nation article on Clinton's record for AA's. EndElectoral Apr 2016 #2

Long on hyperbole, short on facts. Alexander doesn't exactly cite a lot of numbers to back her claim CalvinballPro Apr 2016 #3

it's Michelle Alexander, not Goldberg m-lekktor Apr 2016 #4

Thanks, beat me to it. btw..there's a few more facts cited if you actually read the article. EndElectoral Apr 2016 #5

yes, I read it when it first came out. m-lekktor Apr 2016 #7

Why doesn't she actually include the "highest level ever" jobless rate? Seems sketchy... CalvinballPro Apr 2016 #9
