Share the results of your survey demontrating that African Americans don't want-- eridani Nov 2015 #46
I did not say they don't want things. But your approach is very paternalistic and suffocating. bravenak Nov 2015 #48
In what way is Sanders delivery on issues problematic? eridani Nov 2015 #53
Trying to assault me with imagery of the death of an innocent black man is not fair. bravenak Nov 2015 #55

I expect people to want to know HOW to attract voters. bravenak Nov 2015 #67
Sanders has attracted more small donors than any candidate in history eridani Nov 2015 #68
That does nothing to help him with the AA vote or any other demographic. bravenak Nov 2015 #69
So, what was Obama polling at in November of 2007? n/t eridani Nov 2015 #71
So, where is Bernie's reserve of Black voters? And his delegates that Obama had? bravenak Nov 2015 #74
Obama didn't get superdelegates until he pulled ahead of Clinton eridani Nov 2015 #79
