How dare you speak ill of a legend ? This man invented the college football playoff you ' re welcome <| sep |> Blue melange Henleywhere did you order the CK at ? im tryna get a deal out here too . habo <| sep |> They aren ' t charging you for them through . <| sep |> And go bankrupt in a year . <| sep |> That ' s a big donut . <| sep |> Hillary had long standing relationships with black church pastors and black civil rights leaders who came out in droves to endorse her while Bernie was still getting in the race . Though Bernie has a wonderful civil rights history , once he got to Vermont , he seemed to only cared about Vermont things . Though he would vote in favor of civil rights bills that came up in Congress , he was rarely seen as a force pushing for civil rights reform , nor was he out forging relationships with black people outside of his very white state . Southern blacks live mostly under Republican rule . They live with the consequences of every bad Republican bill that comes down the pike . They ' re very cautious with their vote and Hillary was seen as the safe choice . Most of the Southern states voted early in the primary process thanks Podesta ! and Bernie had not yet proven that he was a viable general election candidate . They also hear the socialism label more often as an attack against anything resembling progress and were unconvinced that a man who labeled himself as a socialist could survive the incoming Republican shitstorm . Bernie ' s organizers from the National campaign were were largely counterproductive in southern black communities , turning off more potential voters than it engaged . We want the Clinton people to look inward , find their faults from the campaign , and not blame others . Well , we in the progressive movement must be willing to do the same when it comes to the primary , especially as it relates to the black vote . We failed to earn their votes . We must listen to those voters , figure out what we can do better , and come back with more convincing arguments and more appealing policy proposals in the future . We need to be able to argue for criminal justice reform and better education in poor black communities as readily as we ' re able to argue about income inequality or fair trade . Blaming black people for not voting for us is as stupid as Clinton supporters blaming midwestern whites for not voting for her against Trump .
