Why are Dems a one-trick-pony?

Black activists tell Democrats: Put an African American on 2020 ticket
BALTIMORE
African American activists have a message for Democrats: If you want to win back the White House, strongly consider a black person on the ticket.
On their list are a growing roster of black politicians, notably Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J. and Kamala Harris, D-Calif., former Attorney General Eric Holder and Deval Patrick, former governor of Massachusetts.
Turnout among African Americans in the 2016 presidential election was the smallest in 20 years. It’s a big concern as the NAACP holds its annual convention this week in Baltimore, its first major gathering since the election.
Hilary Shelton, head of the NAACP’s Washington bureau, said “It could be difficult” for Democrats in the future without an African American on the ticket.
But he added that the black community is “very sophisticated” politically, and having an African American is not essential if white candidates “are speaking our language, which means that they’re addressing our concerns, they’re going to get our support.”

Black activist too biased? Ok, how about Kamala Harris as the HRC donor annointee
Some key facts from 2016 Prez Election
1. Blacks turnout was the lowest it has been in 20 years...at 59%
2. Black demo is roughly 12% of the US population
3. Hispanic turnout for the 2016 Election was 40% w/out a Hispanic on the ticket
Seeing the growing #'s of Hispanics in our country, year after year, it's surprising the Dems haven't even truly considered putting up a Hispanic man or woman. IMO Barack was a flash in the pan - smooth talker, looked gentile, well spoken, inspiring and educated. He had a newness to him. The new crop Dems are considering fielding do not have that same allure.

Sorry but Hillary didn't lose because blacks decided not to vote. Black activists have been duped into believing that being black is enough to win back the White House. Obama benefited from white guilt, but now that the first black President has been elected (twice), that white guilt has subsided. The D's would have better luck with a Hispanic candidate this time around.
