In an email to activists obtained by BuzzFeed News, Bernie’s African-American outreach director proposes a formal meeting between the senator and the activists who have disrupted his campaign this summer.

3. Excellent decision by the Sanders campaign...

[virtualobserver]

4. it was the right decision

it will be interesting to see what the response is.

[Spazito]

5. Face to face meetings are a positive progression, imo...

It gives the participants the opportunity to 'plead their case', both entities, and a greater understanding is bound to ensue whether the end result is all each would want or not, imo.

9. Evolving.

11. completely compatible with the way that he has lived his entire life

if you wish to call that "evolving" , I can live with that.
I am glad that he did.

12. And that's a good thing

Whether it is this or Hillary's position on marriage equality.

13. +1

[hootinholler]

14. Um, nope

This is totally a thing Bernie would do without having to change a damned thing. This is not evolution, not even close.

What ever.

15. fail. unlike your candidate, he never supported criminal justice legislation

that disproportionately impacted the black community. Unlike Hillary he didn't cheerlead so-called welfare reform.
