2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Let me know how this "harass Black people into voting for Sanders" campaign is working for y'all [View all]artislife
(9,497 posts)It is about who is willing to hear the grievences.
What is really telling is that as far as I can see, there are few PoC responding to it. That means to me that on this site, there is a lack of even wanting to go into the group forum from the PoC members.
I know I am in the minority in this group.
We could take this information and turn it into an awareness. Why is the make up of the Bernie group not as diversive? Maybe the whole site has few PoC? But of the few I know to be for sure, few like less than 5 (I could be wrong as I have not been here that long) are interacting in the Sanders group.
At least on this site, the supporters seem less inclusive. This country is not post racial.
Now to reclarify:
I want Bernie, I have not liked Hillary since Super Tuesday 2008, I cannot forget that.
I am about to receive my promotional packages in Spanish by the campaign and I am going to work hard on outreach. But my confidence in opening minds to see issues from a different perspective is at a long time low.
