The only way to win the vote of the white racist sanders supporters who hate President Obama is to reject the will of the majority of the party and anoint a weak and unelectable candidate like sanders.

In the real world it is a waste of time and effort to try to win the support of the white racist sanders supporters who want to vote for trump. I live in the real world and I am glad that the party will be ignoring these racists and focusing on African American voters and moderate voters. Biden is going to be the nominee of the party due to the fact that African American voters supported Biden and reject sanders. It is important to rely on and get these voters to the polls.

Putin and trump were effective in suppressing the vote of African American voters last cycle.

By not giving into sanders and making sure sanders is not able to disrupt the convention with stunts like booing John Lewis, Biden will mobilize these voters in number that will easy surpass the racist white sanders supporters who voted for or who want to vote for turmp

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
