They’ll get 90%+ of the black vote just by putting a D next to their candidate, so why do they keep piling on more promises?

It seems that they risk losing more whites & hispanics than there are blacks to gain at this point.

Pandering to the "black vote" is really just pandering to the white guilt of suburban women.

But they need them to actually show up to vote. Black men didn't show up to vote for sHitlary.

Because they have to get a high turn out amongst blacks and all other minorities to make up for being the anti-white party. There's not enough cucked whites out there to win without a high minority turnout.

I dunno man. Black men are more pro Trump than indicated. Trying to squeeze that block anyway they can because a few percentage points going to Trump, Dems are cooked.

They are really pandering to the illegal alien vote and voters who have died, but continue to vote.

It is not about getting 90% of the black vote. Black people vote GOP by NOT voting. IF they actually go vote, their finger will not actually let them press the GOP button....

The way POTUS Trump wins is by getting AA people to choose not vote....a de facto vote for the GOP.

Hilary got pretty much the same percentage of theAA vote compared to prior years, but a TON OF AA VOTERS did not vote.

Primaries. They are a huge part of the Socialist democrat party. Right now Biden has them but Warren knows she must take them or a number of them to have a chance of beating Biden. So she is just going back to her lying roots and letting the BS fly. 99% of which she could never deliver.

The better question is, why are you acting like this is new?

- More division

- Hoping to catch GEOTUS with an awkward comment

- Rallying voters based on pigmentation

I will believe when I see it.

What you suggest has NEVER EVER EVER happened even once in a election. Until it happens the first time, it is simply an unlikely hypothetical

Interesting that involving black Americans in the political process and supporting black candidates is considered by right wingers to be “pandering for black votes.” In my view it’s more accurately described as working with all Americans to make our country better and more representative.

Perhaps you look at it this way because you consider political power to be exclusively “white,” and that Democrats are “white people pandering” to black Americans, who are inherently placed outside of political power. You would be mistaken.

Two things:

1. None of their candidates are enough of a draw by themselves to bring out black votes like Obama did. Without that level of black voter turnout they have no chance at all.

2. Every time there's a poll of black voters it seems Trump is doing a little better than in the previous poll. People willing to cross the aisle FOR a candidate are far more likely to vote than someone staying on their side of the aisle AGAINST a candidate.

These two aspects are scaring the shite out of the Democrat machine so they're upping the identity politics rhetoric and the prospect of largess from government coffers as an attempt to keep those from happening.

Democrats are just plain dumb. Repeating the same old crap is all they know. Period.

There is a wide gulf between what I hope will happen and what I think will happen. It is likely unassailable
