9. He isn't missing anything but that is not the problem

His policies are sound and ones that most PoC would agree with. The problem is not the policies, the problem is his stump speeches. Everything for Bernie goes back to economic justice. No matter what he starts talking about, he goes back to getting money out of politics or oligarchs, or super pacs etc......... As well, he only started taking about racial justice about 3 months ago. He has never spent much time cultivating relationships in the Black community which is probably because he is from Vermont. I get that. It is about saying, it is about doing. I know Bernie has a good past record on Civil Rights. What has he done for the Black community in the last 20 years. What relationships has he cultivated in the last 20 years. This is his problem, not his policies.
