    Am I crazy, or does the fact that the most popular candidate among black voters by far is consistently an "old white man" pose some significant problems for the predominant identity-centric narratives frequently seen in the media?pic.twitter.com/RArqPxKw6X

        The last 70 years have basically been black voters trying to figure out who can keep Republicans from making their lives worse and the idea of Dems actually delivering anything is basically gone. This describes a lot of white voters too.

        There's also a voter information gap among different demographic groups and Biden is easily the most recognizable name to the uninformed voter.

        Roland Martin noted that Black voters are more leery of an Obama 2.0 candidate this go 'round. He ran on change but we got status quo. Biden support is from pro-estab, older Black voters who get their news from corp estab media. Pro-Bernie voters are anti-estab, anti-status quo.

        Yes and the confounding here is important- unless the polls find ways to ask around concerns about electability/name recognition, their validity is questionable.

        The most recent national Quinnipiac poll has Kamala Harris at a mere 1% favorability among black Democrats.https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=3637 …

        Yes because most blacks are older moderates in general. The problem is many of these people are attracted to Biden because he was Obama's VP.

        Not really, they frame it as being due to the Obama association.

        When you omit the most important fact, that he was Obama‘s VP, then yes.

        Why is that important? His record is an absolute nightmare, especially on civil rights. I'm trying to understand what feels like "brand" loyalty.
