this isn't just a sanders problem. warren would be the nominee now I think if she'd done better with black voters.

I’m not understanding why black voters don’t like her. To me she’s made some great policies around housing, childcare, healthcare, and she’s pretty much a poster child for women’s rights, as well as a fighter for the little guy against big corporate titans.

she did start getting better numbers for a while. I suspect as with Sanders among older black voters there's a worry that she won't win.

Fantastic policies aren't enough to build trust in a community that's been betrayed by white politicians many times. That's a long term project that takes more than good ideas or good advisors from grassroots activist groups.
