No politician can effect progressive change unless WE vote for them in the midterms. We seem to forget that we elected those people. We have always been considered an essential part of a democratic victory but we simply don’t pay attention after the presidential election. That’s exactly how we got the assorted nuts we…

Yes by all means use them the same way the democratic establishment is using you.

Rreally are we looking at Clyburn as the champion for black people today? Unfortunately we seem to be determined to just have a good old nostalgia festival. Clyburn in his youthful convictions which have been long gone for decades. Bidens insulting and racist crap about black people know me and Barack Barack Barack!!

What about 45s platform benefits the working class people black white whatever...? Is it the tax cuts for the wealthy? Maybe the cruelty at the border? The carte blanche being given to the fossil fuel industry and  agribusiness to do whatever the fuck they want to our water and food and the planet? Maybe it's his…

Not true if WE show up.

I hope that doesn't happen. But it's not just the Bernie bros that got 45 into office.  If black folks were voting based on real policy issues Sanders would win. Sadly we are not turning off MSNBC.  

Vote for the platform not the personality. The majority of black voters in the south and possibly midwest support Biden. THAT is something to be ashamed about.

Exactly! Just plain old stupid shit that gets folx to support the worst candidates. 

Tthey can accomplish this if we stay the course by  electing progressive people in the  midterms. 

...and? That doesn’t change his platform. Vote for the platform not the personality.

SAnders is far better for the black community than Biden could ever be.

Dnot vote for the personality, vote for the platform. Re Sanders Senate accomplishments, he is the only progressive/independent in the Senate.

MLK would be a Sanders supporter. Screw the white middle class paternalistic noise. Dr King was called a communist and socialist also. Sanders is a crabby old white dude but his platform IS the black agenda.

Truth all truth. I'm voting for what helps my people. Real talk if black voters did that Sanders would win. We have to learn to turn off MSNBC  or we are no different than The Cult45 folks.

What is the reason why Sanders is so marginalized in the Senate? Is it because his positions are actually progressive? He is the lone independent and he has to play ball with his teammates in order to get anything done.

Ppolicies in his platform are not embraced and largely despised by the democratic establishment. Therefore as he is a lone independent, he cannot accomplish anything without having allies in the Senate. I don’t think its about what he’s done as a Senator. His policy positions are actually the black agenda but we…

Eff a relationship with phony political optics. We should be tired of that by now. Clyburn and the old guard so called black political leaders are doing the bidding of the democratic establishment.

Black people have to be indoctrinated to listening to the democratic establishment to support We knows Joe Biden. Folx need to release this expectation that politicians who come a courting are for us. ALL of Sanders platform IS THE BLACK AGENDA. Prison reform, economic reform, guarantee federal minimum wage, access to…

......And although they came at it in an offensive and clueless way they were correct. White liberals are just as indoctrination in systemic racism as their sheer wearing cousins. The difference is that they are advocating for a populace that is disenfranchised and exploited. That means us. The Sanders platform is the…

Revolution should never have been used in the Sanders campaign. Far too many people are choosing to interpret it as advocating armed struggle. That’s just plain stupid. As you have said, that isn’t a option anymore..if it ever was. The revolution in terms of Sanders platform is legislating economic, educational, and…
