Sanders can't win the general election--why are people so blind to that?

I have heard repeatedly on this board that Sharpton is not the “spokesperson” for the AA community.
So, why has Sanders chosen to meet with him?

How is this any different from Hillary giving a speech at Goldman Sachs?

What will Bernie owe Sharpton? Or AAs in general?

Hypocrite.

No, I am serious.
Does Sharpton represent the AA community or not? I don’t care if Sanders meets with him.

If you don't vote for Hillary, there is a special place in hell reserved for you ....... just keep that in mind!

I guess logical thinking is not your strong suit to offer this analogy!

You do realize that Hillary has been courting the AA and Hispanic vote forever. And she has not been charging her usual rate for speeches!

Yes, I get it...but I don't think you do.

All politicians court voters. If Sanders sits down with Sharpton, he's making promises. He's negotiating.

It's actually far worse than Hillary's stupid generic speech at GS since it involves a one on one with Sharpton. He'll be beholden to him. Bernie is no different than any other politician. Sorry to burst your bubble.

So, I am guessing Sharpton is a spokesperson for the AA community.
Quite different from what folks said on here when we were discussing BLM and his many meetings with Obama.

No bubble burst! Hillary has been pandering to AA and Hispanics forever and a day.

Sanders was involved in the civil rights movement - this is nothing new for him. Unless you are saying that it is fine for Hillary to court AA and Hispanics but Sanders should stay clear of doing so.

I'm saying that Bernie has criticized Hillary for speaking engagements at GS by implying that she courted their vote and will make decisions favoring them. He's claimed that he's above that, and that he doesn't owe anybody anything. When he sits down with Sharpton, he will be kissing ass and making promises. In short, he'll be Sharpton's bitch.

Get it?

Bernie isn't any different from Hillary. They are doing the exact same thing...except Hill was smart enough to get paid to do it.

Goldman Sachs = Al Sharpton? Uh, whut?

In any case, I heard Andrea Mitchell on NBC Nightly News that Harry Belafonte is endorsing Sanders. That AA firewall is crumbling.

I guess you don't like Sanders

Always be gracious in defeat ...... even if Sanders thrashed your preferred candidate!

Is this a joke. Harry Belafonte? I can't even believe that got a mention.

She wasn't courting votes, she was courting dollars.

Yep, he's a self-described communist. I'm surprised he's still alive.
