In reply to the discussion: Cornel West Surrogacy highlights a major problem with the Sanders' campaign's outreach strategy [View all]highprincipleswork
(3,111 posts)I do believe that Bernie's heart is in the right place, as do some prominent African American politicians, leaders, celebrities. I do believe he is the one who will fight hardest for change. But I surely wish he would get more Nina Turners out there and less Cornel Wests. Unless of course there is something not convincing and inclusive about Nina Turner.
It really doesn't seem that hard, and wish it would get high-octaned right now!
The POC community deserves to have their vote earned, through increased visits to their communities and through personal communications and collaborations with people they know and trust. I know the Sanders campaign has done this, even while busy trying to win the very important first states, but they certainly can't do this too much.
That's the kind of marching that is called for right now.
