HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL: The Bernie Sanders voters who would choose Trump over Clinton

211. You're confused about red state demographics

Trust me, I live in one. Democrats in red states, especially in the south, are nothing like NY or CA democrats. Does that mean all of them? Of course not, it's another diverse group. But the truth is quite a few are supporters of establishment candidates who do little for minorities, e.g. Hillary Clinton. So the claim that only racists vote for republicans is false, as there are some folks who think they're doing the right thing by voting for democrats, but still think in very racist terms. Not all racists are blatantly racist like some of the people at Trump rallies, some are latently racist (some white southern democrats) and quietly support neighborhood segregation, disparity in education, blind support for the police, etc.

As for African American voters, we've got quite a diverse group in the south. There are those who are ultra-progressive, and there are centrist/nearly-conservative types who don't always vote in their own best interest. I'm in the first group. Unfortunately, quite a few of us lack education and vote based on name recognition--from what I've seen, this explains quite a few of the Hillary votes.

If she wins, she'll do extremely little for us. I hope I'm wrong, but I seriously doubt it. All of that aside, please don't be like the American media and refer to us as one single, unified, minority voting bloc who all behave the same and need to be coddled. You've further explained your reasoning here, and I appreciate that. Your first post didn't quite sound the same.
