So black South Carolinians went overwhelmingly for Joe.

[boston bean]

And Bernie says he is fighting the corporate wing of the Democratic Party.

Are black persons the corporate wing of the party? Not something I believe.

I believe they ARE the base of the party.

But his narrative and framing allows for all sorts of attacks on our coalition and I am fucking sick of it.

[mcar]

1. He couldn't be bothered to go to Selma

He is showing us who he is.

[dware]

2. Not going to Selma was a HUGE miscalculation on his part,

he can now definitely forget about the AA vote nationwide, without which he has no chance of winning.

[George II]

9. But he's in Utah today! No Alabama trip but a Utah trip. Both are voting tomorrow and....

....Alabama has 52 delegates, Utah has 29. Alabama is 63% white, Utah is 87% white.

He's basically discounting the black vote.

[OnDoutside]

19. You've got that right.

[mcar]

21. Well, you know we Democrats in southern states

don't really count.

[Old Terp]

3. Should add that not just the black vote in SC but also the under 45 black vote.

He also won the black vote in Nevada.

[brush]

28. Be clear. You mean Joe, not Sanders.

[Codeine]

4. One DU poster characterized SC as an

“Establishment State”, whatever the fuck THAT means.

[Cha]

5. Over kill on "establishment"?

[calimary]

10. I'm still stuck on how a candidate who's served in the House and Senate

since 1991 is somehow NOT part of the “Establishment”?

[yardwork]

22. Is it also a "corporatist state?"

[IronLionZion]

6. Bernie has Public Enemy in LA

so maybe the West Coast hip hop crowd is a little bit different from the more church going South Carolina crowd.

Bernie's black supporters are younger, more urban, and more radical. Biden's are older, more rural/suburban, and more moderate.

[onetexan]

11. in SC Biden won every county, and across every voter segment except 17-29 yr-olds

I do not understand why the young people are drawn to Bernie. Maybe it's all the false freebies he's promising them.

[IronLionZion]

13. A large group of my younger coworkers stood in line for hours for the Bernie rally this weekend

They shot video on their phones and shared it to social media. Public Enemy fired Flava Flav over it. I'll give Bernie credit for having very passionate and excited supporters.

It does seem generational. At this point, I'm a bit wary of large crowds.

[wryter2000]

16. Free college

Plus, younger people tend to be less realistic about how the American public votes.

[onetexan]

18. more like impetuous & naive to me

[uponit7771]

17. His hair, glasses and passion, that's what my 9yr old likes about him

[emmaverybo]

26. Biden won across most age groups with AA voters in S.C.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. There you go again citing facts about Bernie!! Since when do facts matter when bashin him?!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[jamezwithaz]

7. Bad Faith

...is the default around here when it comes to Sanders. Tuesday can't get here quick enough.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. Seriously!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[TwilightZone]

8. They've been downplaying SC for weeks.

"It doesn't matter because we won't win it in November" is a common refrain.

That doesn't seem to apply to Iowa. Hmm, wonder why.

[jmg257]

12. Bernie also says Joe doesn't support the working class or middle class -

Not sure exactly what class Bernie places AAs, who overwhelmingly go for Biden.

[Mr.Bill]

14. I guess all those people who joe rode Amtrack with

for all those years commuting to Washington DC were billionaires.

[squirecam]

23. Not what Sanders said in 2016...

https://m.

[brush]

31. Is it sublimial racism...implying black people don't work?

No wonder he gets little black support. And no Dem wins without that.

And if he isn't aware of that subtle, and I hope unintentional, messaging, he doesn't need to be a politician at all.

[wryter2000]

15. Hear, hear

Anything that doesn’t go his way is corporate and establishment. I’m thoroughly sick of it.

[Amishman]

20. More interesting to me is how all the polls missed this.

The RCP average before the primary was Biden +15. The pro Biden outlier was +21.

Final result was +28.5

I'm very curious to see how the polls hold up tomorrow

[Blue_true]

25. Most people have cells where they can program in known numbers by name (either family, friends,

or business associates). I know that I don't answer strange numbers or texts from someone that I don't know or have had no known association with. I am making this statement via observation, pretty much all African Americans rely exclusively on cells now, I know that all of my family, friends and casual acquaintances do. I have not seen a landline at any place but a few businesses.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. Were the polls before or after the Clyburn endorsement?

[Blue_Tires]

24. No great shock there...

And don't think I don't remember all the folks trying to pretend the primary was over after Nevada and that we might as well not even let the rest of the states have a say...

[LaurenOlimina]

27. Joe OWES South Carolina a LOT.

[ucrdem]

33. And now you know the secret sauce.

Let's call it the Colonel's Southern strategy.
