Questioning if a majority of AA voters are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome....

[MellowDem]

221. There are polls showing African Americans...

are among the most ideologically conservative demographics of the Democratic Party.

Clinton is about the epitome of privilege and entitlement. I don't think any demographic votes based mostly on a person's record or "close relationship" they supposedly have, most people vote on familiarity and how closely they identify with a candidate.

If a person were to look at Clinton's record, it is full of bashing both AA's and the GLBT community on policy after policy to advance her political career, but that's not what most voters of any color vote on. Most don't even know their records or policy positions, or particularly care about them.

I think most AA's won't vote for Sanders because he is completely alien culturally and ideologically to them and Clinton is a known entity. I think that's the same with most voters of all demographics. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but that's been my observation from elections.

Most whites in the Democratic Party want Clinton as well, just not as lopsidedly. A lot of people in the online community of DU are far more liberal than the population at large and some don't seem to understand that.

They scratch their heads at what they see as AA's voting against their interests as many on DU do about whites overwhelmingly voting GOP, but it's not surprising when you understand that most people don't vote for their interests, at least IMHO, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
