Bernie has given Clinton a lay-up....
Listen, we all have our criticisms of Obeezy. I don't think he did nearly enough enough on criminal sentencing reform for black and brown folk.....He dropped the ball there. Big time...
But rather than stick to pointing out how he would do better than Obama with specific issues, Bernie is questioning Obama's OVERALL progressive pedigree. The first black President who went through the hell of being called a Kenyan Socialist who is secretly a racist who hates whites...Bernie is outright saying "I will be a flat-out better President than Barack Obama..." I mean, Bernie actually said he would do better on race relations than Obama...lol...As if race relations is some trivial shit...Of course Clinton will take advantage of this. Why wouldn't she. She was Obama's Secretary of State for God's sake...She was in HIS administration....
Add the Bernie Bros. going crazy on social media calling John Lewis a sellout and (by some) an outright money grubbing relic who gets too much credit for getting beat in the head for standing up for the rights of HIS people, just for endorsing Clinton, and u got some dangerous ground ahead...
I say Bernie should just stick to his Civil Rights background and continue to go for the youth vote and leave the other stuff alone.
GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....
