(Daily Kos) Why Black Voters Vote The Way They Do (and advice on how to win them)

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

5. Certainly decisions made by Bernie are more likely to benefit me.

I actually agree with them on that. Where I don't agree is that decisions made by Clinton are in any way likely to benefit them.

Face time is nice, but I think she's got a pretty substantial history of making decisions that have severely damaged the black community, and that far outweigh what little good she's done.

Bernie hasn't done much of anything directly for the black community in decades. I get that. But he hasn't done as much damage, either.

But I'm not going to convince people who've already decided to hang with Hillary of that, so I don't go around trying. I recognize the fact that each of our votes is OURS, and we get to make it for whatever reason we want, from the silly to the sublime. From a position of much study of objective facts or a position resulting from propaganda. At most, I point out that people who don't want to be my ally now, can't really expect me to want to be their ally later.
