"Why African-American voters may doom Bernie Sanders’ candidacy"

[TheBlackAdder]

13. I will not summarize the power of that presentation, or extrapolate beyond this video.

As I posted this video link earlier, due to the negativisms I'm seeing here towards social programs I hold dear as a staunch Democrat. I believe the way out of our social disparities requires a disruption of the political institution to some degree. As a poli-sci continuing ed student, who respects both Clinton and Sanders, this post was difficult to make. But, there are scores of others that are far more damaging, that poli-sci people and political campaigns have. I will not contribute any further towards this mess beyond what this video post conveys, or post the detailed ugliness of the meanings of Olbermann's comments.


My goal is for a Dem, ANY Dem, to retain the White House and foster down-ballot Dem wins.


The African American community was set back over a century, partly due to the actions of Booker T. Washington. As a W. E. B. DuBois fan, there will be no institutional corrections made, if a passive approach continues. It will just be more co-opting of the black, latino/latina, and other minority votes. Lip service will be applied as the social safety nets are slowly rolled back. I do not want to see that happen. After my Women and Politics course last year, I saw sure HRC was going to walk away with the nomination and staunchly supported her. But it seems she slides closer and closer to the right, and offers up core Democratic principles along the way, things that have taken over a century and a half to formulate. I stepped back and remain neutral now, seeing where this goes.


I will not promote further deterioration to this party, but I will call out wrongness when I see it. I would gladly participate defending HRC when bogus posts are made, but William blocked me from the group when I posted a non-candidate post about how Disney offshores its profits Luxembourg. I was told, ONLY when I commit to the HRC campaign, would I be allowed to possibly rejoin--if I petition them. I remain a neutral Dem. While I am adult enough to realize that the HRC group is their sandbox, and they can run it any way they choose, I also cannot contribute to defending or supporting her on many of the posts. So, I just ignore most of the posts from that group, as I remain voiceless there. That being said, many of the posts at GD: P are just over-the-top or just the same incessant cheerleading. Regardless of what happens, I will vote for the Dem nominee, whoever that is.
