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.
Why can't people accept that individuals made decisions?
Black parents in the South
force their adult children to vote a certain way? Come on, man.
When a person runs for office, they have to take into account the voting patterns of the different segments, and formulate a plan to reach the widest part of that group.
Depending on what your voting record is, and what you propose to do once in office, there are always going to be people who don't take to your campaign.
