(34,648 posts)For some they hear the economic message and it fires them up. Not me. I keep listening. Looking for the place where they fully understand my pov. He does not understand me. Not yet.
My listening to him is not the problem, it is his job to hear me and to pay attention. Not once has he told his supporter to lay off of folks resembling me. It is stressful to have hundreds of his army thousands even harassing my fellow blacks in various ways. He has been asked to comment on the issues between his fans and black americans and he has DECLINED to discuss it. Not important to him. The harassment of us is NOT important enough to discuss. Having been myself harassed by a self described bernie fan, this issue of him addressing issues that come up in a timely fashion is make or break. How does he respond to issues or harassment directed at african americans by his own base? He does not. That is indicative of a third ways stance or behaviour.
