Minorities and the oppressed flock to the party of the southern slave owners, Democrats, because they happened to have been in office when the times were changing. The Democrats were racist (FDRs redlining for example) until the 1950s or 60s imho. LBJs actual quote when passing the civil rights act was "they'll never say the Democrats are racist ever again". It was opportunistic and they were smart enough to see the writing on the wall. Kennedy, otoh, was genuine. Do you really think that black people, who are generally more religious, fit in with the mostly anti christian elite Democrats? Are transgendered people and Muslims really getting along well? Make no mistake, both sides use their voters for their own gain. Republicans are not helping small business owners. Democrats such as Hillary helped Mexican people to register to /vote/, rather than learning useful skills. All are pawns to the two party system. I'm interested in hearing reasonable replies from good people, not name calling and negativity.
How in the world are democrats anti Christian elite? If anything they are just pro religious equality across the board. Not super pro Christian != anti Christian. Dude the parties have flipped did you miss the whole war on drugs thing being waged by republicans to keep minorities in jail. Nixon himself admitted the war on drugs was to keep hippies and minorities in jail. Happened to be in office when the times changed? Democrats have been responsible for every push for equality over the last 50 years. Who is currently trying to suppress the minority vote by forcing a voter id law, stopping early voting and closing voting booths in black neighborhoods? Once research showed poor blacks people voted this way every republican was out to shut them down. I’m sorry but the registering of illegal immigrants is just absurd did you miss the whole audit trumps admin did on voter fraud and found nothing? Edit: How are dems elite when they want to increase taxes to provide services for poor and middle class people and raise wages? Lowering taxes only benefits the most wealthy, republicans serve the interest of the elite.
Not every group within a party has to get along. But a party has to have a set of defining principles. Like them or not, the Democratic Party has been the party of equality and fighting for the little guy since the 60s. This current effort to turn black people against the dems is pretty laughable. It’s not dems who are trying to suppress the black vote with voter ID, who are trying to re-inflame the anthem protest controversy over and over again, who are downplaying and defending abuses of police power against black people. If the Republican Party actually had a platform that showed they gave a shit about the black community they would probably have more success with courting them. As it is, they are trying to fire people up by demonizing them and other minorities. We’ll see how that works out for them in the long term.
The “flip” is a myth. The Dems finally, at least in words, have caught up with the Republicans in equal rights (the amendment pushed and signed by Nixon, I might add). Republicans have been for equal rights since Lincoln. Emphasis on “equal”. Many modern day Dems are trying to out-do themselves in the name of “compassion” by trying to erase past injustices with reverse discrimination against “evil whitey”. Republicans standing against these practices do not make them “against” minorities. Government welfare programs, in the name of compassion, have destroyed the once strong black family (72% of black American births out of wedlock today). But the dependency cycle is in place. Yes, modern day Dems are still keeping blacks on the “plantation”, just a different kind today. I could go on about how abortion (sacred to the left) has been nothing short of a black genocide. But hey, why squabble over life itself when their vote is being supposedly repressed?
“Republicans have been for equal rights since Lincoln.” Please be trolling. If you believe this, that’s embarrassing for you. What a shit post
Hilarious you want to force all of these women to have babies but are against welfare to take care of them. Welfare is responsible for the decline of the black family? No how about the fact that black men are disproportionally in jail due to the war on drugs waged by republicans for the purpose of putting them in jail. Ever look at the minimum sentencing for crack vs more rich folk drugs? What is your point about the abortions anyway, let’s ignore their right to vote because some black people get abortions? I’m sorry but there are several logical problems with your argument, I’m not finding what you are saying to be well thought out or intelligent. Edit: I also find your point about reverse racism to be projecting, fear mongering bs not based in reality. Yes there are some random people way out there on some issues but it’s not from mainstream democrats who by the way are moderate and even lean conservative.
Also are you implying black people aren’t smart enough/capable enough/ informed enough to make their own decision about which candidate is best for them? Pretty racist implications in this post.
DAE else leftists are the real nazi fascists?

High performers, how often do you have slack off days?
That's exactly what I was trying to say.
Couldn’t understand you because you had a mouth full of p*say.
