      You have no idea what it's been like to vote as a black person since forever, do you?

      The lower black turnout in 2016, especially in the swing states, makes me doubt the "hold your nose" argument is persuasive.

          People vote for who they like, unless they're 65+ those people always vote.

          Are you factoring in the targeted voter disenfranchisement & suppression carried out in these exact states by the GOP as opposed to the entitled apathy in case of white non-voters?

          what was the ‘16 turnout compared to 04 00 & 96? Who left is able to bring 08 and 12 turnout in the black community? Bernie?!? What a joke. So who can bring back white women and blue collar whites? Bernie?!? Bigger joke. U lived through Rob Ford why are your takes so bad?

          It's not, not with young voters of all ethnicities. They will stay the fuck home.
