Biden won because many of us blacks, especially in South Carolina voted for the candidate that we thought would most likely win over whites. Warren and Bernie were seen as too progressive and the reward for that would be 4 more years of Trump.
- ryanbrunner 6y agoI don't think it was specifically because of Trump - Bernie didn't poll well with Blacks in 2016 either, even before Trump was the presumptive nominee and was considered a joke candidate.
- x86_64Ubuntu 6y agoBernie when compared with other dems in the primary will always lose out on the "white electability" test. Doesn't matter whether it's 2016 or 2020. My top comment was explaining one of the reasons Bernie was never going to do well, and the abyss that the black community was staring into.
