And when I say I doubt most people care about it, I'm including black primary voters.
My larger point is that we shouldn't be looking at a funeral as a political opportunity or missed the political opportunity.
Then I won't be polite this time. Your take is bullshyt.

I don't care if you're polite or not.
Politicizing a funeral is bullshyt.
I'm sure there are others who care about black people who didn't turn the tv on or didn't attend the funeral either. Questioning whether or not he cares about black people because he didn't attend is a bad standard to set.
Mitch McConnell was there, should he earn points with me for attending?


Faux outrage and pearl-clutching in here.

* Too far left

* Making impossible promises

* 78 years old, fresh off a heart attack

* Underwater with black voters

by all accounts he was a great man and they spent a pretty significant portion of their live working together towards the same goals....

it's not just that Bernie chose to skip the funeral but a pattern of actions that when coupled together show a lack of interest and tact when it comes to the black community


Why wasn't Bernie at the funeral? Oh, he was just out courting a bunch of white supremacists that put Trump in power and allowed the courts to be stacked.

Says a lot about the Democratic party when their monied establishment is putting so much behind a candidate that their black voting base doesn’t fukk with at all.

True.

It's why some of us have divested from the Democratic Party and become more Independent. Neither party is for our best interests as Black folks.

We especially don't f_ck with Pete in SC. He's wasting his time here.

So my YouTube premium subscription lapses and I started getting political ads.
Trump entire campaign is fear-mongering and insulting to any intelligence. But that’s for his base. I was like :mjtf: seeing his questionnaire; disgusting. I’m not voting Biden, but even his questionnaire wasn’t insulting as trumps.

I’m about policy more than anything else. I don’t think this will significantly hurt him. With that said he should of went to the funeral. With Bernie seems like people either love him or hate him. I think i’m one of the few people that’s not on one of the extremes with him. I like a lot of his policy proposals, and appreciate him pushing the party left. However, I agree with your statement talking about his lack of interest and tact when it comes to Black issues. He doesn’t have political instincts when it comes to Black politics/policies. Probably because he represents a state that has almost no Black people in it.
