I don't know. I from SC originally though, and I know that the Black voters in that state tend to be on the older side and they just vote for whatever Dem is front running. I know a lot of people on this site aren't big on Bernie, but he was a better candidate than Biden, period. SC was basically the deathground for his campaign. It wasn't because the people in SC believed Biden had better policies. They just ran with the "Biden can be Trump" narrative, which was true, but the polls at the time suggested most Dems could beat Trump. More thought should have been put into policy. You won't get that from SC voters in my experience.

So one candidate(Biden) went out of his way to court black voters in SC & the rest of the South.. By getting key endorsements & doing events in black communities in Oder to win their votes. While the other candidate (Sanders) whole strategy in SC & the rest of the south was to hope that the field stayed large so he could win by just winning over his precious working class(white voters) & not have by trying win over any black voters. But to you he was the BP better candidate even though he seemed to learn nothing from his first run president & just seemed to double down on his working class voters while ignoring black voters and issues…

Biden didn't go out of his way to court Black voters in SC. People were swayed by the media and the DNC. I don't care if you liked Biden better than Bernie. That's fine. My point is Biden was the favored candidate pushed by the Left Wing media and the DNC, and the older black people in SC voted along those lines. It's just that simple. If during their exit poll interviews involved them explaining policy differences that favored Biden, that would be cool. That's not what happened. They just spouted narratives pushed by the media like "Biden has a better chance of beating Trump" and "Bernie is too radical."

You telling me Biden was trying to win over Black voters when he was dodging taking responsibility for the crime bill? He way of trying to appeal to black voters was to put Kamala as VP. That's exactly my point. SC voters are the kind of people that fall for dumb tactics like that.
 




Samuel Tunick is an Atlanta-based activist and musician charged with destruction of evidence after allegedly wiping the contents of his Google Pixel phone during a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) search at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on January 24, 2025.

The government alleges Tunick knowingly deleted data to prevent seizure, specifically using a GrapheneOS duress PIN that triggers an irreversible factory reset. His attorneys argue the border search was unlawful, violated his constitutional rights, and was a pretext to investigate his involvement with the Stop Cop City movement, which opposes the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.

Tunick was indicted in November 2025 and arrested in December 2025 during a traffic stop; he pleaded not guilty and was released on bond. Legal experts view this as a potentially precedent-setting case regarding the criminalization of privacy features on smartphones and the scope of constitutional rights at international borders.
