The primaries are about deciding the nominee for a PARTY, so just because we are in a red state, we are STILL Democrats, and we still have a say in our party's nominee.

I never said you shouldn't have a say. You don't even know why I asked the question and you were jumping down my throat about dismissing "the black vote"

And then when Hillary dominated the Southern primaries, there were several Bernie supporters who routinely maligned and degraded black Southern democrats for overwhelmingly voting for Hillary, calling them "low-information" and "ignorant".

While I don't doubt that some Bernie fans made offensive comments after that debacle. The fact remains, that if you ask most of those Southern African Americans why they like the Clintons, 9/10 you will not hear a single policy. The reason why Bill Clinton was hailed as the 1st black president wasn't because of policies, it was because he kissed black babies, smoked weed and played the saxophone on Arsenio Hall
So when you're supporting a candidate based on their celebrity and not their policy, that is the definition of ignorant and low-information.
Probably because I'm not super attached to Hillary either so bleating about establishment shills and whatnot has little impact on me.
