Ohhhhhhkkkkkk that didn't answer the question.What can they do for u that they arent doing? Its Trump's America now, so we gonna see what he does for ya
So let's get this straight, under democrats black folks get the most of the bad stuff and the least of the good stuff, same situation under GOP leadership.
Plus in terms of wealth and standard of living we close virtually no gaps under democrat leadership... Yet we have to continue to vote for them even more?
The definition of insanity.......
We need our own party. IDK how to do but if someone does I'll be first in line to support
Tony D'Amato
It's all about the inches
Well, carry on w/ your bs. U can afford to push more candidates to the left in that state. And u no doubt voted Jill Stein or some bs.

Maybe its becuz they're constantly cleaning up Republican shyt, while simultaneously being obstructed by those same Republicans.
U go and make your own party tho. Good luck w/ dat
Of course I did
But in other states, you have the DNC putting out shyt candidates who are backed not by the people but by corporate interests and they're centrists who dont oppose the right
Saw Ellison on the Daily Show last night.....Really like his ideas, he came off really well, I don't know that he is ready for 'primetime' so to speak, but if he can get the Sanders coalition, through Sanders, he'd be a great choice to lead the Dems, not as a candidate, but I'd think it will go to Tom Perez. They just need to get the Republicans out of power in 2018, and out of the office in 2020, however they do it, isn't as important as that it gets done.

We're just constantly told, "Well so and so isn't going to be the president of Black America."
What people fail to realize is that Black Americans don't want our issues being directed exclusively, but we don't want our wants and needs being ignored either meanwhile other groups get their wants and needs met. Barack Obama wasn't the president of the LGBT community, but he met their wants and needs even when it was at everybody else's experience. Not to mention other groups gettinge reparations.
Hillary did more pandering to the Black community with dances and "hot sauce" comments than actually addressing out concerns.

Speaking of which...
Going by your third party logic, voting Democrat in a red state (I live in SC) is also a waste of time. No Democrat has a shot in HELL of winning SC.

The fundamental thing people have to understand when comparing us to other racial or other kinds of groups is that the country wasn't built on, and isn't sustained by, the oppression of those groups (except for Natives, who also face a system perpetually unresponsive to their needs). So it's easier to give them some concessions and recognition.

How is he not? Perez doesn't even like to answer questions...

True.
I think acknowledging African Americans will remind people of how corrupt this country really is and I don't think most White Americans are ready to stare that in the face.
If Keith is running the DNC, he will have a bunch of the Bernie coalition and will buildup grassroots activism not seen by the Dems in over a decade during the anti-Iraq war phase.
The issue is... the corporatists who are prime opportunists to jump on it
I meant 'ready for primetime' in terms of like a presidential nominee, he just doesn't have that quality that Obama had.....yet, but he could. All for him as DNC chair, my thought is Perez will get it though.
