It's not clear that any organized group of black people can say anything without it appearing on Fox News as "Democrats take position X," even if no Democrat elected has that stance. Very few elected Dems are for abolishing/defunding police. — PolitiTweet.org

If Spanberger and Clyburn are implying that no House/Senate Dem should call for abolishing/defunding the police, that's a logical position.Being a Dem in Congress means you are part of a team.If they are implying no activist should say that in any election year, that's different. — PolitiTweet.org

I know and like Jim Clyburn. But it is possible that some black people in South Carolina choose Biden in part because the two leading candidates at that point didn't seem that electable and didn't have great ties to black voters (Buttigieg, Sanders)? — PolitiTweet.org
