8. Good article about Bernie and his campaign, if you haven't read it already.

(excerpt)

Not only does this miss the ways that some African-Americans had gravitated toward Mr. Sanders, but it completely ignores his robust support among Latinos that have been at the heart of his primary victories out West. The basis of the multiracial support for Mr. Sanders is precisely because of the ways that race and class intersect in their lives, particularly African-Americans.

Indeed, by the end of February, Mr. Sanders’s support among African-Americans had risen, a Reuter/Ipsos poll noted he had overtaken Joe Biden in support among African Americans. More-African Americans have supported his signature policy, Medicare for All, at 74 percent compared to 44 percent of white voters.

These are just some of the reasons that, for months, a majority of black voters under 35 have favored Bernie Sanders to Joe Biden. The jockeying of the black political class to line up behind the former mayor of New York and billionaire, Michael Bloomberg, is also evidence of a more significant political divide within African-American communities.

Opinion

Why Sanders Isn’t Winning Over Black Voters

People with the most to gain from his agenda have also been the most disappointed by politics.
