shes getting a ton of praise/endorsements from black activists and political operatives on twitter...but it isnt really translating over to black voters.

she should be making the hardest of plays for that group. because no democratic candidate has won the nomination without winning the black vote since 1992. her campaign should be launching an all out assault on the 'electability' narrative as well. that doesnt hurt anyone as much as warren (many people who have her as their 1st pick on policy and up going with biden when they factor in who they think can actually win).

i pretty much have a visceral hate of biden at this point but he absolutely laps the field when it comes to black voters (especially in the south) and older moderate/conservative dems. who do you think votes in the primary? lol. thats a solid ass base. and if any other candidate who wasnt known for a being an idiot on the campaign trail had a base makeup like that...they would be in the catbird seat.

dem candidates in general are kinda being idiots themselves by attacking biden from the left and smearing the last dem president who has a 99% approval rating with black democrats and 97% approval rating with dems overall. they should be appealing directly to bidens largely moderate base somewhere with policies and cultural commentary to peel away those voters. apparently people dont like doing things that were basic rules of political thumb in the past anymore.
