I know.. it's weird. And, it doesn't

seem to be getting much better, afaik.

By December 2018 as noted in the OP, Bernie should have been trying to make amends and connect with Vermont's local civil rights leaders. Instead, he once again did not invite them to a forum covering racial justice issues, and relied on folks like Cornel West to somehow validate him over the voices of his own local constituents.

Cornel West.. jill stein voter and pusher.. the one who Bitterly Dissed President Obama every damn chance he got.. such a role model

Black Staff Matters: Behind the Scenes with the Biden 2020 Team

“”I’m very proud to have a diverse and experienced staff; it’s important that this campaign has a wide range of perspectives, voices and backgrounds that reflect the America we live in,” Biden said

Team Biden has a diverse group of Black staffers who represent many regions of the country, colleges, intersectional social identities and areas of policy expertise.

omg.. you have nothing better to do than try

to drag on a thread where WOC Activists are endorsing Joe Biden?!

Columbia, South Carolina – A prominent group of black women activists in South Carolina that backed Kamala Harris endorsed Joe Biden on Tuesday, further strengthening the former vice president's standing in the first-in-the-South primary state.

Known as "The Reckoning Crew," the group of three dozen women includes current and former elected officials, activists, and faith leaders and has played a critical role in grassroots organizing in the state. Biden's path to the nomination relies heavily on the South Carolina primary, which figures to play an outsized role in determining the party's presidential nominee because of its high percentage of African American voters.

You certainly are NOT helping your candidate.

This is a brilliant strong endorsement from

Dr Robert Green!

Civil Rights Leader Dr.Robert Green who worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King for many years endorses @JoeBiden for President

“Joe Biden is a statesman, leader, and above all else, a unifier. I had the fortune to tell Joe all of this in person when he visited the west side of Las Vegas last month. More than 50 years ago, I personally witnessed his ability to bring together people of different races, cultures, and backgrounds in Newcastle County, Delaware. Today, that kind of leadership is needed to unify our country. Joe possesses exactly the type of leadership that this country needs now. He will heal and unify the soul of our nation. I am proud to stand with Joe and work hard to make sure he is the next President of the United States of America.”

I hope Bribri isn't under the delusion that the

pic there is going to entice anyone to join up. All that jill stein voter and pusher is doing is showing how divisive her campaign is.
