Sanders losing the primary or the reasons he lost the primary. I can tell you this his message didn't resonate among African American voters for different reason but the biggest reason was he was playing Santa Clause, he was promising everybody everything they could possibly hope for. Free College, Single payer health care, increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour, breaking up the big banks, campaign finance reform, paid leave and all of this stuff was going to be paid by rich people only. African Americans have been around the block too many times to believe that sh*t and thought he was either a damn liar or a damn fool,Hillary's proposal were much more reasonable and much more achievable.That was a disgrace.
As for me personally as an African American Bernie was playing Santa Clause, I'm a grown ass man and I stopped believing in Santa Clause a very long time ago. If he wants to win African American voters this time around he's gotta shake the Santa Clause label stop promising everything under the sun and unlike in 2016 actively pursue the African American vote.
