Young voters and african americans or white women?
Which does the democratic party value the most? It seems to be white women, from all the talk of Barack HAVING to put billary on the ticket in order to win. Which is crazy!

What has happen to valuing all of our constituencies and joining together instead of pitting us against one another to gain talking points and position.

At the end of the day there hasn't been a democratic President elected who has not received a substantial amount of black votes. The black vote is going to be HISTORICAL this fall. With the youth vote galvanized and the passion of white women we have a chance to win it!

As Rodney King said, "Can't we all get along!"

That's really amazing someone could be so narrowly-focused.

4. My bad
The latino vote is going to be EXTRemely important. I definitely did not mean to marginalize them at all.

If the youth, blacks, white women, and latinos can come together this fall we wouldn't have to seek the votes of racists who are just to ornery to change their party affiliation, but always vote repub. These are people who will only vote for hillary when she is running against a black man.

I am empathic toward someone who will vote for someone because she is a woman, but I have a serious problem with someone who not vote for that because she isn't a man.

3. We never hear Repukes breaking their people up like this
Why should we? This is why they win the majority of Presidential elections. Because this is a stupid party full of egos

5. I think we should select a candidate based on
which supporters threaten the loudest and most obnoxiously to disrupt the selection process and the convention if their candidate is not chosen.

9. No disrespect, but to put things in perspective.
Blacks make up 12% of the Population. Women make up 51 % of the
population.

11. You forgot Independents for Obama. I believe that although
Hillary's campaign of destruction hurt him there......she didn't hurt him as much as she would have liked to.
