In which white lefties have a debate that somehow does not discuss the fact that Bernie has no real purchase among the POC base of the Democratic party. And that problem has not improved for him, if anything it seems larger...
I think age is a big strike against Bernie (and Biden and Bloomberg and...) but the fact that Bernie fans still can't own up to this big structural he has re the base of the party is just mystifying.
This is a typical (and almost always angry) retort. 1) No, not true. 2) Here are key POC who like him. 3) don't they know what's good for them?
Noe of these arguments makes things better for Bernie, only worse.

If Bernie, and Bernie supporters, want him to win, they'd do well to face this problem and try and fix it, not attack those who point out it's a problem.
Yell at me, fine, but discounting of his failure to connect with that base is not helping him, quite the contrary.
