Nah. the older black voters in this city were pro-cuomo. This dude hit the ground running. When I saw he visited my old church in BK, I knew he was reading the temperature right. He was losing to Black voters to Cuomo in the primary. He won Black voters vs Cuomo in the final mayoral race.Bernie did try to court black voters in 2020. He’s just not as good at it as Mahmdani who looks like he actually has black friends. But that aside, the reason Mahmdani did so well with black voters in the general was partially so to his outreach but mostly due to the fact that he won the primary and older black voters were going to vote with the primary winner as the democratic rep. It’s not that complicated.
Bernie did NOT try to court the vote in anywhere near the same way pushing that "my economic arguments will bring them in" bs at the expense of Black folks who rightfully know that shyt doesnt matter to cacs. He didn't court them with truth.
