Will Democrats ever actually listen to black people in terms of strategy and vote targeting? Can a political party toss over a billion dollars into the trash two election cycles in a row? Does it really take a genius to figure out that if a group votes for you 90 percent of the time you should do what it takes to make sure that group is at the polling place on election day?
Both Hillary Clinton and Jon Ossoff, a democrat who ran for Congress and lost out of Georgia’s 6th district, taught us that no amount of money can eclipse the power of votes. Clinton’s campaign spent over $1.2 billion to lose. A harder look at the numbers reveals blacks stayed home in Michigan and Pennsylvania. And in Georgia, Ossoff spent over $20 million and lost.
The hard fact is that the Democratic party has no history of taking the strategic advice of African-American elected officials, leaders or consultants and applying substantial financial backing to black voter outreach. Will new DNC Deputy Chair Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) be listened to? Who knows.
If past is prologue, everyone knows what happens next: Senior black officials asking the party for field help will be ignored and, instead, Democrats will stage a few visits to black churches two Sundays before Election Day, followed by that crash panic of activity days before Election Day.....

When the Dems Black support erodes, they are finished as a party.
Please, Dems, PLEASE, keep going deeper down that rabbit hole of identity politics. It’s done wonders for Republicans.
Like the old Colt 45 commercials: it works every time!
It’s too late. White voters have wised up.
The last stats I saw showed that blacks voted (or “were voted”) at a higher rate than whites.
“If past is prologue, everyone knows what happens next: Senior black officials asking the party for field help”
They didn’t do it in the 1850s, why ask again?
When a group votes 90%+ for the same party election after election, the most likely outcome is that they will be taken for granted while the party panders to some less predictable group.
Well the guy is both right and wrong...Right in the democrats take blacks for granted and really don’t listen to them ...but wrong that when the democrats do listen to black ...they listen to the wrong black... the race hustlers
You wanna know What the majority of blacks are really like just like the majority of whites ... they just want a freaking job they feed their family
The left black race hustlers are like the left white union leader ... both are more in it to keep Their power by keeping their group agitated vs really improving people lives
and just like white union worker, black get Jettisoned by the Dem as soon as they’re no longer useful for votes

Ding ding ding - we have a thread winnah!
Blacks have been voting for Democrats ever since they got the right to vote even though a Republican freed them. Since the Democrats know they have Black votes they can concentrate on Muslims, illegals and queers
Yes, more pandering to blacks! Definitely the way to go!
Blacks just want good jobs and to feed their families? I thought they mostly wanted an Escalade, their own record label, a mansion and to be famous?
Anytime you throw your political weight behind a political Party that controls two-thirds of the government and that Party can’t keep the promises it made to you during election time, and you are dumb enough to identify yourself with that Party, you are not only a chump but you are a traitor to your race. —Malcom X
The Democrat Party has lost blue collar workers forever...and, they have already lost massive numbers of African-American voters who are disgusted and turned off by Barack Hussein Obama, The Congressional Black Caucus & the NAACP....all of whom lifted not one pinky finger to better the life and lot of all African-Americans, during the eight failed, reign of POTUS, Obama.
The Democrat Party continues the unabated, self-destruction of the Democrat Party as an effective political party. Can’t wait for the political death knell!!!
