Hillary pulling in 80% of the African American vote in South Carolina...Bernie gets 8%.

[Cali_Democrat]

Looks like Bernie's embrace of Cornel West in South Carolina turned out to be a total bust.

I can't imagine why. It's not like Cornel West has said anything controversial about Obama who's very popular with African Americans.

Here's the latest poll:

[JustAnotherGen]

1. Good for her! n/t

[JaneyVee]

2. K AND R!

[RobertEarl]

3. Am glad for yall

It's a good thing yall have something to be happy about, because the news everywhere else is bad for Hillary supporters.

Was just reading some posts from H> voters who were saying that ALL Bernie supporters are making them haz a sad.

Allow me to apologize for ALL Bernie supporters, because we know that we are ALL the same. Same that is in the eyes of prejudiced people. Bwahahaha

[BlueCaliDem]

6. I'm happy you're "glad for us all" (I'm assuming you mean Democrats) but as it has been said

again and again all over Democratic Underground, Hillary Clinton supporters would vote for Bernie Sanders should he become the nominee, even though he's not a Democrat and never has been. I don't see an equal amount of Sanders supporters making that same claim should Hillary Clinton win the nomination. How about you, Robert? Will you vote for Hillary Clinton should Sanders lose the primary?

[RobertEarl]

7. Hillary is not going to win, imo.

So, no, I doubt I'll be voting for her.

I always vote for Dems.

Yall H> folks need a lift. This is all I have for ya. Sorry.

[BlueCaliDem]

8. That's not what I asked you, Robert.

I asked, will you vote for Hillary Clinton should Sanders lose the primary?

A simple yes or no is sufficient.

[zappaman]

13. "the news everywhere else is bad for Hillary supporters."

Really?
Maybe if you get your news from Fox.
Everywhere else it seems to be good news for Clinton.

[BlueCaliDem]

4. Also interesting to note: ZERO African Americans say they "would not vote".

According to the results of this poll, African Americans really are the true base of the Democratic Party.

[OilemFirchen]

22. As they're continuing, to this day, to fight for the RIGHT to vote...

not voting would be unthinkable.

What a pity that some of our self-involved, privileged Puritopians are assisting in this group's disenfranchisement by promising not to exercise their own un-threatened right.

[1StrongBlackMan]

27. +1. n/t

[Cha]

24. I love them to bits! They're are the Democratic Base.. Us too!

[NuclearDem]

5. Obviously Stockholm syndrome.

Or something.

[Cha]

25. Yeah, the things they come up with to excuse the polls.

[zappaman]

9. I think must be a typo.

Do they not know Sanders marched with MLK?

[whatchamacallit]

11. I forget, who are you supporting again?

[zappaman]

12. No one yet.

Although I like O'Malley best out of the three.
You?

[whatchamacallit]

14. ...

*cough* bullshit *cough*
Who do you think you're fooling?

[zappaman]

15. Awwww.

If you think I support Clinton, you'd be wrong...again.
But the delusions of the Bernites is always ripe for laughter, so on that we agree.
Sanders supporters certainly supply more laughs!

[whatchamacallit]

17. You

[zappaman]

21. Not sure how you got into my house...

[whatchamacallit]

10. I know, isn't it wonderful!!1!

[NurseJackie]

16. Excellent! (nt)

[Doctor_J]

18. Their loss, in the long haul

As an side, do Hillary supporters ever post anything but polls?

[wildeyed]

19. The Clintons have deep and long standing support in the black community.

Bill Clinton was called the first black president by Toni Morrison for a reason. Blacks are a primary constituency of the Democratic party. I don't know if a very white guy from a very white part of the country is going to be able to overcome that in such a short period of time. This is not partisan, this is just math.

Also, the way many Sanders supporters talk about black Democrats is disrespectful and condescending in a way that is not going to help win that support. Some of the stuff I read, I just roll my eyes and think, good luck with that.....

20. After the 08 Primary in SC with McClurkin attacking LGBT to pander to the haters and Clinton

campaign dog whistling to the others I have to say I could not care less what a bigoted lot of people like that think about anyone. I assume they would hold Bernie being Jewish against him, this is the State where Obama said he 'had to hire' hate preachers to win the hearts of hateful voters. Let's not play dumb here. Those who 'need to hear hate preaching' to vote for a candidate are not very likely to be open to a Jewish candidate. It's just fact.
They cheered for Donnie's attacks on LGBT down there. So fuck them.

[dsc]

29. yeah those anti semetic bastards

voted for a Jewish governor in 1872.

[Chitown Kev]

31. Apparently, blatant and broad attacks

on whole groups of people (esp. if they are African American) is just fine with some DU'ers.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=766193

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

Unfounded accusations of anti-Semitism on the part of black voters in SC...among other things.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Nov 4, 2015, 08:27 PM, and voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: We don't attack other democrats here
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Ordinary I would think something from this poster not worthy of a hide because most of his/her posts are rude and obnoxious. On the other hand, I am sick of reading her/his posts that denigrate everyone from every state and every Democrat from every state that doesn't agree with him/her.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Wow! Holding an entire group of people accountable for the actions of a few. I think there's a word for that?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I support Hillary. This is not a personal attack on a DU'er, and therefore it isn't actionable. We don't have to like what others say, but unless they are personal attacks, we shouldn't stop them from speaking. Argue in the thread, if you disagree.

Thank you.

[Cha]

23. Cornel West.. LOL. We tried to tell them. The question is .. Why did BS think that was a good idea?

[bravenak]

26. Perhaps building a relationship with a community over time is a prudent way to gain support.

[1StrongBlackMan]

28. You think? ...

You mean browbeating, reference psychological conditions and, suffering your base's attacks on communities that you are failing to connect with, in silence, isn't the oath?

[bravenak]

30. That doesn't seem to work, no. I would not suggest spamming them or pretending to be black either.

Some take offense.

[Gothmog]

32. These are strong polling numbers for Clinton

Without a significant increase in support from non-white voters, the Super Tuesday primaries may be hard on Sanders. Texas has almost three times the number of delegates as Iowa and New Hampshire combined

[Recursion]

33. I still don't think it's rocket science

Sanders is the most liberal candidate in the field; African Americans are the most conservative bloc in the party now that the white southern males have exodused. It really shouldn't surprise anybody.
