They mocked us, they made fun of us. They always had a
model that was supposed to save the day. We were street activists and they dont get that. And thats a fundamental divide. They ran a check-the-box, sanitized campaign. And voters dont think like that. You dont win elections that way.
comes across as rather silly in light of losing to Clinton. Also trying to act like they can tell the Clinton campaign how they should outreach to BLM is amusing given how poorly Sanders did with black voters in the primaries.
Clinton was ahead in the polls up until the second Comey announcement. I don't know if the Sanders campaign staffers would have had a plan for that (other than inventing a time machine and not setting the stupid thing up in the first place which is really the correct answer).
