Nevada Democratic Caucus - 2/20

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

It seems like no matter what facts I throw at my parents as to why the Clintons will be the destruction of Black Americans yet again (they are Baby Boomers), they still support Hillary.

I asked them exactly WHY they are voting for Hillary or why they are supporting her and they don't have an answer.
I tell them why I am voting for a particular candidate and when I hear their lack of reasoning, I almost feel like the Black Baby Boomers have Stockholm Syndrome. Subconsciously they know she's no good and she's pretty much a Republican man in a skirt, but for some reason they don't care.

That way of thinking is dangerous to us Generation Y and our children into the future because I believe that people my parent's age should think in terms of, "What if I was in my 20's or 30's nowadays, HOW would I vote? How would this vote effect my children and my grandchildren and generations ahead of me?"

Like some of you said, Hillary is in it for HILLARY and preserving her legacy and continuing the Clinton legacy American citizens be damned, it's not about YOU with her. Somebody even pointed out that in her past speeches, she would only talk about what she would do by using "I" instead of "we" and she has been one of the most inconsistent politicians in recent years flip flopping from one point and then change it to another. I don't even think Hillary knows who she is. She just says whatever will get her liked. I don't like candidates like that.

Anyways, I don't think Baby Boomers need to vote in their best interest because their days are long gone, they need to think in the best interest of their children and grandchildren otherwise this country is socially and politically f_cked beyond repair (it already is like that actually, this country will never go back to the days where Baby Boomers in their 20's got to experience what a middle class was really like).

Great post. People don't think it can happen but if we get 8 years of hiliry there will be violence based on income inequality

Another thing that really pisses me off is that how so many ignorant Americans believe that when people get something that is paid from taxes i.e. Education, it is somehow free

Whites supporting Bernie because hes offering free everything is a problem



Most people are low information voters, especially young people

Bernie hasn't offered free anything

Also at thinking younger voters are less informed. Our parents and grandparents get their news from Fox and Cnn

We are definitely less interested though

their depressed faces are hilarious

It's the establishment vs the new breed. Old black people vs young black people. The older generation just doesn't get it, the younger generation does. The older blacks believe Hilary Clinton is the only one who can win, the younger blacks know she will be eaten alive by Donald Trump. I'm still hoping Bernie can pull off a comeback but if he doesn't I'm prepared for anything and I do mean ANYTHING that goes down in this country.

TYT is even saying the bytch could get indited. If it does happen after Bernie is out

YEah, that would give Trump the presidency.

But it doesn't mean anything if he's to p*ssy to call out Hillary on her BS. Nevada was his for the taking. SC is a wrap. Dude just killed his own campaign for being to nice. Politics just don't work in the Fantasyland he lives in

"buh-buh-buhhhtt we gotta maintain party unity to stop the Republicans in November! "

Democrats are so spineless. Their whole rationale for existing is to stop the Republicans Everything boils down to fear of their political opponent

Except that Millennials and under are the most educated, high information generation of all time thus far. Especially with the easy access to the Internet.

Bernie supporters, who will pay for all these free goodies he is promising? Everyone needs to work and contribute to the society. Black Bernie supporters want reoaration through the back door.

Well, that's actually what happened.

Nothing else explains the differences between how Afrikan support flocked to Obama and away from Clinton, and not to Sanders and away from Clinton. Hillary lead Obama early on until Iowa showed that Obama could win the cac vote.

Idiots want to make Sanders/Clinton a racial thing and act like only cacs support Sanders, and Afrikans should shy away from doing so. Yet they didn't and wouldn't apply that logic to Obama in 2008, when Afrikans started rallying behind Obama only after cacs gave their approval in the form of the Iowa victory. Sanders has a better platform than Obama did and has a better one than Hillary now.

So it's not strictly about the issues. Clearly.

It is about elect-ability though.

Most black are just practical period. Once Obama proved a practical reality after winning Iowa yes black people jumped on board.

This time around, Bernie speaks real talk, thing is given all the obstruction President Obama faced in the house and senate. And with Scalia dead the stakes are even higher.

Black voters should be more concerned with their local elections at this point. With the Midterms. Black southerns need to vote out those old guard black politicians. It's time for them to go. They control way too much of the vote in their areas. . .more grassroot effort needs to be put into changing things in the midterm.

Morgan Freeman doing ads for Hillary

Hillary was against civil rights originally, Bernie marched with MLK... why does she keep getting the black vote?
