Democrats’ dilemma, post-Pelosi: A younger leader or a black one?
Post and Courier ^ | 8/18/18 | EUGENE SCOTT

**SNIP**

Since Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 presidential election, much conversation has taken place about black Americans’ loyalty to the Democratic Party.

Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the party has regularly received the overwhelming majority of black votes. But some have questioned how committed the Democratic Party is to its most loyal constituency.

While Clinton went on to win nearly 90 percent of black votes, questions about her commitment to the black community — based on some of her past comments about black youth — were a consistent thorn in her side during her campaign.

“The truth behind the article is that the their self-administered divisiveness has created a problem; they can’t possibly elect a leader to pacify all of the different groups they’ve encouraged to become angry victims.”

And in that process they are aliening their two largest voting blocks, the blue collar worker and Black citizens.

Perhaps identity politics will at last be the end of them.

“I’m not aware of any Trump attacks on African-Americans, or indications of his “caustic racial politics.”

Nor am I aware of anything Obama did to create a “more inclusive America.”

Did I miss these things?”

No, those things are fake news. The made-up talking points that people just get tired or refuting every time they are mentioned. It’s like when Hillary says “Everybody knows Republicans are racists.”

Their obsession with identity politics has gone too far.

I suppose whoever could do the best job is out of the question.

I cannot believe that such a hate-filled comment is allowed on FR. How are you not banned yet? You are a monster and should be in jail for your Hate Speech.

Gotta love the Dems' ad hominem attacks.

You would really have me banned and thrown in jail for inferring that (or alluding to) the Dems engage in identity politics to select their candidates? Seriously? That's no secret.

Go away, troll. If you believe my comment is inappropriate, may I suggest that you discuss it with the mods.

Why not both younger AND black? I nominate Maxine Walters as the next Democratic leader in the House of Representatives!

I have argued that a charismatic person will emerge. The charisma will carry the day.

Gavin is coming. If they could get over their "Obama Was Our Savior" fetish it would be in 2020, but by 2024 they will leave behind the Booker/Harris disaster and pull the biggest background whitewash in history...and we will have our very own John Fitzgerald Trudeau to worship. :)

Both of you might want to consider using the /s label when posting sarcasm.
Or think a minute and see it when it appears.

If you are going to use sarcasm, expect it to come back to you and enjoy it.

Did I miss these things? Maybe I'm using the wrong news sources. But it's obvious that this author takes them for granted.

Many of us "missed those things;" it's kind of like the "Russian influence" thing...the media just asserts it, and expects everyone to go along with it. If you peel back the layers, there's no substance to the claim, only sketchy allegations.

In the United States, a person must be aged 35 or over to be President or Vice President, 30 or over to be a Senator, and 25 or over to be a Representative, as specified in the U.S. Constitution.
