I have no idea but I’m bummed because this was the first blog where I felt at home. It’s exciting to see how the new platform for the Kinja crazy is expanding the “brand” and folks like Jason Johnson on TV - authenticity, ownership.

Texas and NC just tried to pass some scary ones. Those states looked at the votes who voted and how on race and tried to rewrite the laws to reduce black votersGA has been cracking down for years and now they are trying to rewrite their voter registration laws right now to hurt Ossoff. Not to mention the…

And when you are running for the Dem primary and you skip the South like GA, SC, NC, FL, AL, MS you lose.

Overwhelming popularity with “white people”. Did you just skip Obama for Jessie “I had a baby out of wedlock that I did not take of for years and tried to hide” Jackson? If you think Jesse Jackson did more for black folks than 44 you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

But did Bernie do for thirty years where no one had barely heard of him before ran hmmmmmm? Nothing, but he has some cool ideas.

He’s the most popular politician in the country AMONG WHITE PEOPLE.

Skeletons like partying with Sandanistas singing death to America? Or that he voted to move a nuclear waste site from lily-white Maine town to a poor Latino one or that hasn’t done squat for his black constituents in VT. Did you read the rape story? He was unemployed until he was 30. His views on Israel would have…

What???? Patrick Leahy is the Democratic Senator VT.

But he left the Dems, won’t share his supporter list and shades any Dem candidate that doesn’t meet his ideological purity test and holds grudges - see John Lewis/ Jon Ossoff.

If only Dr. King gave up so easily...

Yup and so did Sanders. He should have spent more time in the South but he could not be bothered.

Unless you’ve got a crystal ball somewhere you’re just talking out of the side of your neck. I love how white Bernie supporters could give a damn about anything on The Root unless it’s about Sanders. It’s that kind of thinking that cost him the popular vote in the Dem primaries.

There is a spectrum to racism so no the narrative is not harder to sustain just because some white people voted for Obama twice and switched to Trump. Also is ignores the growing voter disenfranchisement of minorities in states with GOP run state legislatures like Wisconsin or those who voted Obama but stayed home.

If I can be direct but can you a name a black person who hasn’t had to hold their nose while voting for president? Forty-four was the closest thing we’ve ever had to a candidate who spoke to us. I never ever once thought the first black president was going break centuries of white supremacy and predatory capitalism. I…

Hachi stay being Hachi.

He lost Democratic primary because he ran a crappy campaign that focused on low population white caucus states. He didn’t campaign in the south where the majority of black and Latino voters are located and then tried to usurp their votes by demanding the superdelegates ignore the popular vote the the hope that he…

Hey not all of us who voted for Clinton is a fan and newsflash a lot of what Bernie put out there isn’t new. I’m all for good ideas no matter where they came from but Bernie also lost because he couldn’t sell his message to the majority of Democrats - he also ran a failed campaign.

I had a young Bernie supporter slide up into my mentions “talimbout” Bernie being a revolutionary Civil Rights icon. Had to tell them before putting them on mute that I marched few times against the Iraqi war in college does not make an anti-war activist. Dr. King fought for decades and y’all Bernie bros want to pack…

Nor does a revolution happen in 6 months...
