A new survey came out yesterday and it was reported by mainstream liberals in a familiar way:
New Survey Done With Women Of Color Finds Kamala Harris As Top Nominee In 2020 Election

In a new poll conducted by She The People, 264 women of color political organizers, donors, activists and party leaders overwhelming show that Sen. Kamala Harris is their front-runner in the 2020 election. Harris received 71.1% of the votes, while Sen. Beto O’Rourke came in second with 38.3%, former Vice-President Joe Biden had 25%, Sen. Cory Booker (24.2%), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (22.3%), Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams (15.2%), and Sen. Bernie Sanders came in with an underwhelming 12.1%.
...It’s interesting to see Biden and Sanders on both lists, but many Black women will never forget how Biden threw Anita Hill under the bus or the fact that Sanders still doesn’t appeal to some Black women.

Clara Jeffery, editor-in-chief of Mother Jones, was even more direct with what she thought of Bernie.

Survey asked black women to say who's among their top three candidates:

Harris: 71.1%
Beto: 38.3%
Biden: 25%
Booker: 24.2%
Warren: 22.3%
Abrams: 15.2%
Bernie: 12.1%

Bernie's never going to be the nominee unless he turns these numbers aroundhttps://t.co/7LLdFoGIIt

There was only one problem with this narrative: the facts.

To show that Bernie lacks support among black women, Clara Jeffrey circulated a poll in which 1) Less than half of respondents were black women 2) All respondents were self-selected operatives, politicians, and donors. Expect lots more of this junk https://t.co/i1iabOcvmU

Oh, right.
So in other words, a poll of the establishment favors Harris over Bernie.
Color me less than surprised.

Creating false narratives smacks of desperation, sets up yet another loss for Democrats.

So when called out on her lie, what does Jeffrey do? More spin.

I mean, as with any group, those who are the most engaged tend to be not only the reliable voters personally but super influential among their peers, so.

Judging by the replies, this response fooled no one.
The truth, as you probably know by now, is that Bernie scores big with women and minorities.

Interesting — out of all the Dem candidates polled by CNN, Bernie Sanders has the best favorability ratings among non-white voters https://t.co/O8yifu5EWb

"How come so many Bernie Bros aren't straight white dudes?" https://t.co/gnFPDqdBFg My 1st piece for @commondreams includes interviews with @SenSanders @RoseAnnDeMoro @DemSocialists's Maria Svart, Mayor @MichaelDTubbs, mayor Gus Newport & @NaomiAKlein

However, establishment liberals will not be sidelined by facts and evidence anymore than Fox News, MSNBC and Trump. The narrative lives on.

Over the past week we saw Jonathan Martin of the New York Times (who happens to be white) claim that Sanders "has done little to broaden his political circle and has struggled to expand his appeal beyond his base of primarily white supporters." Meanwhile, Clara Jeffery, the editor-in-chief of Mother Jones (also white), recently presented not only Sanders' supporters but the left movement in general as white. Linking to a written exchange between two Splinter journalists about Sanders, she tweeted, "In which white lefties have a debate that somehow does not discuss the fact that Bernie has no real purchase among the POC base of the Democratic party. And that problem has not improved for him, if anything it seems larger…"
... On social media people who happily call Sanders #FakeJews, and defend Hillary Clinton's use of prison slave labor, continue to vilify Sanders as somehow "racist."
