The Root ranks every Democratic candidates’ ‘Black Agenda’. Comprehensive, and well worth reading for the details and commentary. But here’s the spoiler-iffic end results, listing the candidates from worst to best (all scores out of 100 possible points)
- Tulsi Gabbard: 0
- Amy Klobuchar: 22
- Michael Bloomberg: 43
- Bernie Sanders: 50
- Tom Steyer: 62
- Pete Buttigieg: 66
- Joe Biden: 70
- Elizabeth Warren: 79
There you have it. Elizabeth Warren’s “black agenda” is the blackest of them all. Unfortunately, she also seems to be invisible to everyone except Mike Bloomberg. But that’s only because she keeps punching him in the face during the debates.
Then again, we’ve only counted the white votes.
