The African American Voters have been carrying so much Water for Democratic Candidates, Gen!

And, I appreciate and love them for it! The candidate who doesn't get this should definitely not be the nominee for POTUS.. Jim Webb is actively making an ass out of himself over it..

Yeah, Webb .. wouldn't want to be the person that the Black community would vote for, too.

A post from MADem.. in that same thread..

‘I think they could do better with white, working people and I think this last election showed that,’ Webb said, referencing the 2014 midterms where Republicans took control of the Senate and added more power in the House. ‘The Democratic Party could do very well to return to its Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Andrew Jackson roots where the focus of the party was making sure that all people who lack a voice in the corridors of power could have one through the elected represented.'”

Webb went on to say, “You are not going to have a situation again where you have 96% of the African American vote turning out for one presidential candidate
.”

As MADem said.. "Yep...there's a dogwhistle element going on there, it does seem...."

The Dem Nominee will want President Obama campaigning with them and for them.. ie the Obama Coalition and it's going to be a beautiful thing.

Thank you for your crucial OP, Gen~

".. it's pretty obvious that his ginormous personality is way too powerful for her to stand up to."

Bernie would be so proud of you!

Or not.. more than a couple of Bernie's supporters have called you to self-delete your ignorant, sexist post."

The OP is a perfect illustration of what's been happening on DU! I love it!



Deny all you want.. doesn't make it any less true!

The New Hampshire Republican Party denounced "the use of a rope line to protect the arrogant

Democrat frontrunner on a public street."

the NH Republicon party aren't the only ones "denouncing" this..

Ha! SunSeeker! Happy Fourth of July~

Oh, thanks for the history on that and what BrewmanJax is doing now, 23! Yeah, it's too bad about

DU and the wonderful people who leave because of the hostility and mean spiritedness of certain members.

I know of one in particular who left in 2009 and started her very own successful website.. she isn't Black but she was treated badly for posting pics of our Democratic President on DU!



Oh this is from her website now! http://theobamadiary.com/2015/07/04/fourth-of-july-at-the-white-house/

Yeah, Webb .. wouldn't want to be the person that the Black community would vote for, too.

Why not be inclusive?

I think a big part of losing the Senate in 2014 were candidates running away from President Obama. The Dem candidate who wins the nom is going to want the President to campaign for them and with them, imo.. ie.. the Obama Coalition.

Something Webb evidently hasn't thought of since he seems to be so busy running away from him.

“You are not going to have a situation again where you have 96% of the African American vote turning out for one presidential candidate.” What makes him so bloody sure?

The President is more than about just being Black.. I don't care what ugly epithets people like Cornel West have to hurl.

Yeah, big dog whistle.. thanks for more of JW's quote, MADem

I'm liking this from Hillary..

Hillary: We must defend ObamaCare
