19. It's better for Bernie if he keeps neutral honestly -

he's kind of conservative (in my view) and more likely to pick Hillary or Joe.

So if AA voters choose to go with Hillary/Joe I respect that. I think our target potential voters (for Bernie) are Reagan dems. There are a lot of them out there and they want to hear about economics and that's why Bernie is talking about economics (again, in my view). He has been around awhile and has seen the same changes in this country that I have in regard to how the 1% have robbed everyone else blind.

It is also my view that this country should open discussion about reparations for AA folks after how they've been treated. I don't know if Bernie would talk about that, but it's certainly something I'd like to see addressed. I think it's long past due. Think of all the slave labor hours - this country was built on that labor. Families should be compensated for that imo.

If you want Bernie to stay neutral, why are you suggesting he talk about "reparations"? aspirant Aug 2015 #21
