I don't know how to fix that rot. It is possible to make laws against discrimination, laws ensuring equal opportunity, things like that.
I don't think Bernie has a "shit outreach", but I do not feel a need to explain anything. And Hillary showed her true self during the 2008 campaign.
The meme from Hillary fans was to associate Bernie with a picture of two grinning white cops holding up a black man like a hunting trophy.
Now there is a shit meme.
