      A couple things come to mind: One, I wrote about how Democrats were trending towards an all white top tier in October.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/29/us/politics/democratic-candidates-race.html …

      Two: The top tier would NOT be all-white if black and Latino Democrats were supporting the black and Latino candidates. They are not, at this time. The key here is the theme of this story, that representation is not the sole priority for this grouphttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/25/us/politics/2020-election-black-voters.html …

          It is simplistic, and reductive, to ignore this. There's a lot of folks on this app whose "trust POC voters" mantra only extend far enough that POC voters are doing what they want them to dohttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/25/us/politics/2020-election-black-voters.html …

          Completely agree. But why aren’t Asians part of your assessment? We’re diverse but so are blacks and Latinos.

          Yes... they are supporting name candidates... namely 2 old white men.

          But mostly just Biden who earned it almost solely because Obama chose him as VP to balance against McCain’s demographic in the (should say) anachronistic center.

          You are missing the point. If u don't ever cover the "other"candidates, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. U only write about the well known, white candidates & amazingly, that's all that's left. Own your part in this debacle and do better for the future.

          With Kamala Harris she was assumed to be a top tier candidate in the beginning and was treated as such. Then her campaign just blew it
