APP - Why aren't black voters Feeling the Bern?

[canceled.2021.1]

I saw a stat today on Morning Joe that Hillary took 90% of the black vote compared to Obama in 2008 that took 80% of the black vote. That seems like a surprising statistic. One has to wonder why blacks aren't feeling the Bern? Could there be some anti semitism in the black community?

Another interesting fact is that yet again, democrat party turnout was low again in South Carolina.


In 2008, 532,000 people voted in the South Carolina Democrat Party presidential primary.

In this year's primary, only 370,000 did.

That is a 30% decrease. So while Hillary may be touting her YUGE win among black voters, she isn't driving a lot of them to the polls the way Obama did in 2008.

It's surprising the percentage is not getting much interest.

Yes there is some antisemitism but it's mainly who was freer with $.
I suspect the % has to do with lower turnout. That's part lack of zeal and part Trump poaching.
HRC went all in buying blacks to try and turn the tide. Let's see if she has $ to continue.

Not at all. Most black folk I know truly like the Clintons. They're not hostile towards Bernie as far as I know. Most black folk aren't driven by hate, fear and bigotry like much of the conservative white male crowd are.

Ask gay black men about that.
