Proceeds to vote monolithically for decades.

Let's be honest, Bernie probably would have done better to completely ignore the black vote.

It is a monolith and has been forever. Joe has proven over and over that he bald face lies to the black community to get their vote but Clyborn says jump and the entire black community jumps. Also, black parents are notorious for forcing their kids in the south to vote their way.

I see the pier pressure all the time on a daily basis in the south.

All the work Bernie did in the south added to nothing. They chose who they were told to chose. Those percentages are ridiculous.

Talk of Biden spitting lies, and then you type this. Ain’t nobody parents down here forcing us to vote a certain way.

Who told you that? A white Bernie Bro?

Everyone who has ever lived in the south knows pier pressure is on 5 million down there. It's why every dating profile has "Jesus is my life" even though they hoes and not religious at all. You better toe the fukking line in the south. Same hair cuts. Same sports teams. Same church or you get the fukk out. That is the south. It is monolithic and parents push their kids to do stuff in the south harder than any other location.

There is a generational split now, black votes under 40 lean progressive.

But we've never been a monolith. They just never campaigned effectively to our communities. Before social media they went to places where we gathered in large numbers, ie churches and HBCUs.

Theres more churches than HBCUs and out of town students dont vote local. So they ended up with mostly one type of black voter. Churches are still bringing in voters to the booth by the bus load

wrong, bernie has been all over the south, and had MASSIVE organization in south carolina. A single endorsement moved his support from 30% to 10% overnight.


Look at his townhalls in south carolina and north carolina. He is talking directly to those people and it meant nothing.
