Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumI missed it. Did the Junior Senator from VT Come Out With His Hype Men
(And women) or were they there before? And what precisely was their purpose, because no other candidate had what some might call props?

R B Garr
(16,975 posts)What is he showcasing with those particular folks on stage with him? It's rather offensive.

tishaLA
(14,176 posts)That collecting a group of people of color on stage with him in this way night make it appear he's using them as props.
I'm sure that's not the case, however, and that he has only the best intentions in the wake of his disastrous appearance at the She the People event.

(16,975 posts)Good catch and observations about this.

Please feel free to alert if you feel my post is out if bounds. I left here for 3 years in 2016 because of how people of color were treated; I have no qualms about leaving again.
