(24,544 posts)In the Dem party hierarchy of important constituents black voters are up there (which is kind of terrifying considering how it seems that many of the things that affect us the most take the longest to get done). Anarchists, Green Tea Baggers, and "left" nihilists are way down on the list of groups that anyone considers important and with damn good reason.
And I think that's where so much of this anger comes from. This resentment towards black voters, who are the delicious gravy that keep the Dem Party Pot Pie from getting dried out and completely cast aside, is absolutely disgusting and should be disturbing to everyone. People here seem to be honestly pissed that so many black DUers still support President Obama, as if the 85+% approval he shares in the black community is just a lie the media keeps telling them. They sound a lot like Karl Rove on election day when he refused to accept the numbers that Nate Silver, Gallup and other groups had been telling about an Obama romp. Our support for the president is ENTIRELY consistent with Dem national support for this president and especially for BLACK Dem support for this president so all of this bullying, harassment and resentment is bizarre and really does line up with Tarheel and others statement that these folks are probably not Democrats at all.
