Do most of you still believe that Democrats are the Go To Party for black people?

As opposed to which party? In a winner takes all setup? America is not parliamentary. Please research the median voter theorem before you reply OP.
Please answer the question in the OP


Then I'll answer your questions:hhh:

Lesser of 2 evils

As a progressive, I sense there’s a backlash to liberal ideals here. So I’m curious.

What is it about the progressive agenda that doesn’t align with the black agenda? What is it about the progressive agenda that y’all are not feeling? What should be added or subtracted from the progressive agenda?

I don't have to like you to use you

We don't play the game inn a smart way which is why we have nothing to show for it

Thats the truth.

We don't agitate within the party to get what we want.

We think if we vote, the party supposed to automatically do stuff for us.

See what Hilary said to BLM...

Politics ain't about what is moral or just it is about what you can get done.

The Democratic Party isn't progressive...it is a center-right party that accepts identity politics within its ranks because if they didn't they wouldn't be able to win elections.

The Democratic Party had 3 sides. There is the Left. There is the Moderates. Then there is the Identity Politics.

The moderates run the Party.

I'm a Centre-Leftist Democratic-Socialist/Social Democrat an Independent. Even though the Democratic Party is corrupt it's good to boost your career if you care to be a serious candidate and win. Also, we need more Progressives in office. Especially, Black Progressives. The Republican Party has been infiltrated with bigoted Evangelicals (Since the Pat Robertson era) and the Alt-Right. Green Party isn't structured and the Libertarian Party isn't either. What do I classify myself as? An Independent. Just like my idol Bernie Sanders and leftist politicians in Europe.

What I hate about the Democratic Party is its Big Tentism. Corporatism is :scust: That's why I don't consider myself a Democrat, but in some ways I do affiliate myself with the Party, but not a supporter/member.

P.S. I hate the super delegate system :scusthov: and the Billionaires having a say with certain Democratic candidates #PUKE

Your question isn't direct. I get what you are trying to do, but you should word your question better because ambiguity can lead to two different answers.

Are the democrats still the go to party for black people?

Are you trying to ask if the democratic party is the party that black people still vote in...primarily yes
If you are trying to ask "do you think the democratic party has black people's best interest in mind"...that is a different question.

:manny:
