@daniellekirkxx: @Bernie Sanders came to my home county, Mingo County WV to talk with us. I wanted to make sure that people in the room know that DIVERSITY, EQUITY, and INCLUSUON; means them too. Appalachia has historically been left behind, and DEI initiatives help us build prosperous communities. #BernieSanders #Appalachia #WestByGodVirginia #westvirginia
You are communicating effectively! Keep talking—- RUN!!

His answer wasn’t even that long and it was very, very long. Did he even answer your question?

Bernie got robbed by the DNC 9 years ago. Imagine the world we would live in today

Who's sick of the division? I know I am. If we could just tap into what unites us instead of what divides us, can you imagine, what we collectively could do!

DEI is weird academic speak… and I think when people hear it they think of like… snooty college kids saying it’s impossible for a nonwhite person to be racist because sociologists redefined the word. Where a lot of these people were alive before the word was redefined… and it just appears like a double standard where people are saying it’s ok to be bigoted against white people. Like the whole structure is build on a foundation that doesn’t sit right with normal people imo. That’s not to say it isn’t a sincere effort to touch on a lot that’s true and to genuinely address it.

You tied these concepts together SO well in your phrasing that Bernie's answer almost mattered less than the question you asked. It clearly resonated with folks in that room.

I really wish he had answered your question more directly. This is frustrating.

Hello from South Texas. We are a different region with different demographics but your question is applicable here too which further validates Bernie’s answer.
