36. They won't care. I already told you, they aren't as easily duped as certain other voters.

Hence why they are probably our strongest Democratic voting bloc to begin with. They know bullshit when they see it. I wish some others on the left could sus out bullshit as well as they do...

And I have no clue who Clyburn will endorse since there will most likely be literally dozens of candidates and none stand out from the rest of the field just yet.

If Kamala ran again, along with the expected field of other candidates, I would give her the nod to get his endorsement. But it sounds like she will instead run to be governor of California, so that's unlikely to happen. Maybe Booker has a slight nod above the other potential candidates at this moment, but it's not sizeable enough nor set-in-stone enough to even speculate at this early stage.
