People either don't understand or choose to ignore the hurdles that are routinely placed in front AA voters to drive down their vote. You need someone that's going to inspire AA voters to wait in long lines to use 1 or 2 machines in some places, to travel long distances to the nearest DMV for ID in others, and to vote early during limited hours in others.
And still the Democrat party decides to spend a year and millions of dollars in a predominately white state Trump won by 9 points when Michigan or Illinois would have been better Midwestern options. Imagine the leg up the party would have had if the order had been Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina or Georgia, and Nevada as the first 4 primaries before Super Tuesday.
Edit: Democratic* party. Typos happen people.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
