In reply to the discussion: Sanders: I would lose if election decided by black voters [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)I am black. Why do you as a white person need to use such vile imagery to attack me with? Do you do that with white people too? That is problematic. I am telling you that YOUR approach is off putting. You are my point of contact with the Sanders campaign right now. This is not a way to help him.
You are using a disabled murdered black man as a cudgel AGAINST a black woman. How is that helpful? It makes my stomach turn and want to not listen to you further. It is the exact wrong approach to take if you go round trying to lure black voters to Sanders. It's like republicans screaming about planned parenethood killing black babys. Upsetting and brings nobody in.
Sanders delivery is pessimistic. He is not a creative thinker, just stolid, not imaginitive or hopeful.
He had peopke going around pushing black voters AWAY and making him look bad. Lack of charisma. Rarely touches people. Things like that. Oh, turns race issues into money issues.
