(34,648 posts)Monitor those. Not the posts over at the Hillary site. It is futile to care about those posts cause there are always worse here. You have seen them, I have seen them, everybody see's them. They are ALL OVER THE INTERNET. Go to dailykos and monitor those. Many of a similary type to that link. Go around and read them, site to site. Then... Pretend you are black and new to politics or just a GE voter not a political analyst, read them again, allow yourself to feel offended, feel all of the emotions. Then think about how many folks vote based on emotional response to stimuli. Abortion voters who vote to close planned parenthood. The religious right. Blacks who have an emotional response to racism in republicanism but are conservative christians (we talked about the predominance of conservative religion in the black community before). Hispanics emotionally responding to anti immigrant rhetoric. Keep thinking about who votes based on what.
Once you finish yiu will be left with a small smal, minority that votes based on pure policy.
Then you can stop being black and assess what the problems are and find solutions. I have solutions. I once said 'stfu'. People were angry. They did not stfu. Now here we are.
