primaries — a good portion being AA voters, who apparently weren't important enough to pursue.

It was not a smart move as it put his campaign deep in the total delegate hole that he never recovered from, yet complained throughout the campaign that the DNC and Hillary were the cause of them being behind in delegates.

Clinton and the DNC didn't make the decision for them not to go hard in the southern primaries. That contention was disingenuous and people noticed.

Who was it, Weaver, Devine, Bernie, his wife, who made the decision not to campaign hard in the southern states? Whoever it was made an unintelligent decision and we noticed that also.

We also gathered that the campaign was reluctant to even discuss what we were saying about how racial issues towards African Americans and other POCs had to be taken into account AS WELL AS ECONOMIC ISSUES.

People didn't oppose his proposals, they were good progressive causes, some maybe not doable in the repug-controlled Congress, but something to aspire to in the future.

No hatred, no projection. We just wanted him to recognize that economic proposals were not all that AAs, facing centuries of discrimination because of skin color needed to hear because economic fixes have time and time again raised the boats of whites but left ours stranded and/or capsized.

One other thing that I noticed was how you ignored my comment about the over-the-top insults thrown over and over towards African Americans here and on social media by Bernie or-Busters — another turn off.

And by the way, speaking of intelligence, or maybe non-intelligence, fix the misspelled word in your post title.
