48. Yeah, they likely would have been too anal to park in Detroit.

I saw two African Americans total. There was a youngish Black guy in one of the photos. But yes, a Biden crowd would have been loaded with African American rally goers. But Sanders' crowd says a lot about who his ideas appeal to, people that don't have to worry about job discrimination much (unless they are female), who think about their kids going to college because they have properly funded PreK-12 schools, who can hate the big banks because they actually have access to enough money to set up checking and savings accounts, people that don't have to worry about gun violence every day - so they can afford to support a man who has been stout against controlling guns in society.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I was looking forward to watching the rally in Jackson, Mississippi. Did I miss it already? George II Mar 2020 #2

Cancelled due to lack of interest. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #5

Not on the part of the people in Mississippi. George II Mar 2020 #8

Bingo! NurseJackie Mar 2020 #9

So it comes to "you are with us or against us" Watchfoxheadexplodes Mar 2020 #3

I thought he went to Detroit to woo the black vote? Where are they? George II Mar 2020 #25

You didn't see that one young Black guy? Blue_true Mar 2020 #32

How else is Bernie going to get rid of all those shirts he had printed? n/t zackymilly Mar 2020 #11

"Which side are you on"? ... lapucelle Mar 2020 #13

Thank you. I'm a loyal Democrat. I'm not a Socialist. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #14

It is beneath even Bernie to call his opponent corrupt and America's system corrupt NYMinute Mar 2020 #17

It's disgusting. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #19

Not one but two former Democratic governors of Vermont NYMinute Mar 2020 #20

Sadly Due to Coronavirus Concerns I Didn't See Warren's California Primary Rallies... TomCADem Mar 2020 #18

Sadly, Bernie comes across as a cranky old Independent from Vermont n/t pink Mar 2020 #23

Does anyone find it odd Moderateguy Mar 2020 #24

Based on past performances, no. He held a rally at a BLACK church in South Carolina.... George II Mar 2020 #26

Oh, ouch! PatSeg Mar 2020 #29

He could hold a rally in a Black person's home and the Blue_true Mar 2020 #34

Oh that was simply rich. Historic NY Mar 2020 #54

a rally during coronavirus outbreak?? AlexSFCA Mar 2020 #30

That picture points out the problem that Sanders has. Blue_true Mar 2020 #31

How is that Detroit? showblue22 Mar 2020 #33

Looks like the woman sitting down on the stage is African American. nt Blue_true Mar 2020 #35

One person in DETROIT. showblue22 Mar 2020 #36

Yeah, they likely would have been too anal to park in Detroit. Blue_true Mar 2020 #48

Maybe you can post a picture of a Biden rally. former9thward Mar 2020 #51

Size doesn't matter, that should be clear by now. Blue_true Mar 2020 #53

. . i . .see . .. . . white people . . .. . Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #37

But Bernie says his "multigenerational, multiracial coalition" is sweeping the country! betsuni Mar 2020 #38

I've gotta admit, that crowd is impressive. musicblind Mar 2020 #39

That's the thing with rallies, though Recursion Mar 2020 #41

Respect. A-Schwarzenegger Mar 2020 #42

Is it representative of Detroit? (Fair question.) NurseJackie Mar 2020 #43

The crowd looks similar to that at his rally in South Carolina at an all-black church. George II Mar 2020 #45

That is a very white crowd Gothmog Mar 2020 #46

People be like... where the black-folk at? NurseJackie Mar 2020 #47

Remember that rally in Queens at Queensbridge Park, right across the street from North America's.... George II Mar 2020 #57

The campaign *said* there were flyers... but could not produce an example of the flyer. Curious, no? NurseJackie Mar 2020 #62

I and others are wondering about this also Gothmog Mar 2020 #58

Again... WHERE THE BLACK FOLKS AT? NurseJackie Mar 2020 #61

I said it was impressive. musicblind Mar 2020 #65

If it was representative, THAT would have been impressive. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #66

I wonder what would happen if Sanders spent this rally money on GOTV Recursion Mar 2020 #40

I remember a time when Sanders' people were complaining that the DNC wasn't registering voters.... George II Mar 2020 #44

But hasn't that been the outstanding hallmark of Sanders' political career? Blue_true Mar 2020 #50

His campaign seems to be really disorganized. Blue_true Mar 2020 #49

Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Mar 2020 #55

Cornell West is still following Bernie around? MineralMan Mar 2020 #56

Mayor of Jackson Mississippi Chokwe Antar Lumumba speaks at about the 1:15 mark, Uncle Joe Mar 2020 #59

Damn, he's good! Uncle Joe Mar 2020 #60

Yes, he was. PETRUS Mar 2020 #64

That's interesting, he was able to get to Detroit from Jackson, but Sanders couldn't get to Jackson. George II Mar 2020 #63
