it was explained to me that having the support of Jim Clyburn, the 83 year old man at the top of the extremely gerrymandered 6th congressional district of South Carolina, was effectively the same as having the support of all people of color in the united states.
this was why Bernie Sanders had no chance at winning the general election in 2020 despite winning the first 3 primaries and we had to go with Biden (who had won zero primaries), because Biden had the support of Clyburn, the most powerful DNC power broker in South Carolina… which is like boasting about being the best bullfighter in all of Belgium.
are you implying that being a potent gatekeeper for the convoluted primary process might not translate to broad electoral support?
