Sanders Wins the BET Presidential Justice Forum Drum Poll with 65 percent

[Fawke Em]

All of the leading Presidential campaigns have been invited to the November 21st town-hall style forum hosted at Allen University, a historically black college. The forum will also provide the first of its kind “Drum Poll” a straw poll of the attendees who place a priority on criminal justice reform and community policing. The Drum poll will feature the names of all major candidates running for President.

The poll obviously also included HRC, who didn't opt to show up.

But wait, Bernie has a problem with Black folks...

8. oopsie.

[HerbChestnut]

11. He just has to get the word out.

And he's also refined his racial and criminal justice platform significantly. I think this could be the beginning of an upward trend for him.

3. But that poll obviously does not include any black people.

[TryLogic]

13. Huh??

[LiberalArkie]

14. That is what hey tell me that POC do not like Bernie at all. So the poll obviously did not include a

black people. Right?

Oh I never use that thingy

[Duckhunter935]

4. What?

I thought we have been told no black persons support Bernie. Glad he is getting some good exposure.

[Scuba]

6. Bullshit, he has no support from blacks. Read it right here on DU.

[Autumn]

7. Wow 65%. Did they only poll white people?

All kidding aside when people hear Bernie's message, they like Bernie,

9. this is more awful politics

from her. I guess when you believe you have that sector locked up you can ignore them. Awful politics. She has no full time job that will interfere with her time. Awful.

10. Here's the video of his talk

[HerbChestnut]

12. He really laid it out there.

Got interrupted multiple times for applause and left the stage to a standing ovation. Great signs all around.

[Jarqui]

15. Great speech to that crowd

I think he hit on all the issues that would concern them

[JDPriestly]

18. THanks. Great.

[PoliticalMalcontent]

20. Thanks for posting!

Excellent video.

[BeanMusical]

16. "HRC, who didn't opt to show up."

Very telling.

[WillyT]

17. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Bernblu]

19. This is huge!

I don't see any of Hillary people defending her for not showing up. I guess they either have the night off or Hillary has moved on and BLM and racial justice no longer matters to Hillary's campaign. Perhaps, she thinks she can take the black vote for granted.

[Enthusiast]

21. Kicked and recommended!

[TM99]

22. Great speech and fantastic poll results.

I said months ago that given the chance, every time someone becomes educated on what Sanders has done and is now proposing, they will give it serious consideration given the alternatives.

PoC are no different.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

23. KnR! n/t

[Warren Stupidity]

24. Clinton got a DNS.

Couldn't be bothered. Clinton supporters inventing new reasons why this doesn't matter. Too busy beating drum for war?
