I already understand you belief that Bernie is best and anybody who doesn't agree with you is wrong. What I'm asking for is any evidence that there is a pivot -- among black voters or Hispanic voters or middle class older Democratic party loyalists perhaps "moderate liberals" towards the Left and particularly towards Bernie.
Whenever I look at polling data or analysis like the one I posted here earlier, I don't see that pivot happening. It can't be simply "Harris flip flopped on healthcare so of course they will vote for Bernie". On the face of it, that claim is not very convincing.
I've been following Bernie's path for the past two years and I haven't seen him do or say anything that convinces me he's appealing outside his base from 2016. I can cite several instances where he has done the opposite. His awful speech on April 4, for example.
You keep bringing up black voters as if they're the ones we need to worry about losing, they see the orange man in the oval office. That's all you need to motivate the democratic base. I'm looking to get independents, first time voters, jaded people looking to shake up the democratic party and to hold the rest accountable. We shouldnt have democrats voting to confirm judges for trump, the republicans play dirty, its time to play dirty too. Dont confirm their judges, any of them.
As fucked up as this sounds, I spent a fair deal of time(5 years) in a group home and saw all kinds of kids come and go, and I spent more time in black foster homes than Latino(like myself) or white families. I noticed something very distincive about each group. Older Latinos and Hispanics tend to be brainwashed by catholicism, highly superstitious, while younger generations are free to experience greater integration and blending of American and foreign cultures. The same for black communities with slight variations. I lived in with either Haitians, Jamaican or straight African American. Similar stuff, the more "African" as far as identity (rather than "American") among the black communities also tend to fall for alot of superstitious cultural hangups brought on through various forms of religious indoctrination(fear of magic/voodoo/tarot). I've been to black Israelite temples(cults) and heard crazy shit from racist NOI cultists. These people arent progressive, they aren't even liberals in many cases they are social conservatives looking to form black identitarian and seperatist movements. I wonder if you know.anything about Hotep, or any other cults within the black community who have no interest voting for democrats. I had a married couple (40+) from haiti tell me the earthquake and disaster in haiti was caused by punishment from god for gay marriage and homosexual sin. I heard this from an adult speaking to me with a straight face. We cannot address these cultural differences without really reassessing our entire educational system and designing one that promotes critical thinking, science, inquiry and inference. These are the tools we can teach children to use to scrutinize their public officials when they come of age. We need an entire cultural revolution to occur in this country. It doeant have to be bernie Sanders who spearheads the effort, but he took the job. I prefer policies that prevent needless suffering causes by health/disease, lack of education and training that leads to low skill work and poverty or a life of breaking your back for measly pay. Policy proposals in favor of marijuana legalization are a good start, back in 2016 bernie was again, ahead of the curb in campaigning on removing cannabis from schedule 1 and then taking a look at the sweeping psychedelics act of 1964. Not many people had the balls to say that aside from libertarians. I know kamala harris used to prosecute teanagers for pot and truancy(missing school). She made criminals out of the impoverished rather than fighting for school funding, the tough on crime stripes shine true...
