(50,254 posts)We have to make the case that the remaining states matter as much as Super Tuesday states to be able to do that.
We'd be saying the same thing about Super Tuesday states not being the end of the matter if they'd been 99% white and HRC had carried them
It has never been about saying that black votes don't matter. It's about saying those states, by themselves, didn't end anything.
We know we lost to HRC among POC that day. We are working hard to increase our support in those groups. And Bernie as a candidate has nothing to do with what the 'bros say(btw, most of the 'bros have now turned out to be right-wing troublemakers tied to Ron Paul, so our candidate should not be getting bashed about them anymore). What are we supposed to do to put the race smears about Bernie to rest?
