we already divided. there is no "we" anymore. thanks to mr. obama and his 91% of black vote. thanks, but no thanks.
Ok, I understand your disappointment. Now I ask you to understand the pride that those 91% must feel to finally have a candidate they can identify with, and feel pride towards. Many of them probably thought they would never, in their lifetimes, see a black candidate, who could actually become the democratic nominee, and may even become the President of the United States. Think what that must mean to black children now growing up, and how it can positively effect their lives.
Maybe in 25 years or 50 years, it will be so matter of fact to have black candiates running for President, that it won't have to be such a big deal anymore, but until then I am not surprised at all that Barack Obama pulls 91% of the black vote even up against a candidate who has been held in very high regard in the black community.
can you also understand those women who supported Hillary? That they finally had a candidate they can identify with and feel pride towards?
because I've seen a lot of slamming about the women who vote for Hillary because of that.
Of course I can understand that, I am a Hillary supporter. Feel free to check my diary and comment history to verify it. There is a lot of pride on both sides, and a lot of good people on both sides; that's why this is taking so long. However in the end there can only be one winner, it's like that in any competitive contest. Well, at least, those that can't end in ties. Nevertheless in the the end we are all one family, so in reality, to some extent, we all have won, and we all have lost. But let's never take our eyes off of why we were in this thing to begin with, and that was to win the White House.
the AA vote or was it by that proportion? If just by receiving votes from one community in that high proportion is being divisive, then hasn't every Democrat been divisive since the 1960's?
Engels I don't think you are part of our we, but we (as in the Democratic party with Clinton and Obama supporters) still very much exist. And will destroy your candidate McCain. See you in November and enjoy banned soon (How many of your comments have been hidden in the past day? It looked like 10-15).
I'm confused. Just a few comments up you were agreeing with the diarist, and feeling the need to give him/her "10-2 ratings". Now here you are actually doing divisiveness by saying a poster is a troll, a republican, and that his candidate is McCain. so, which is it? United or divided?
I hesitated rating your comments because I was unsure, based on your comments, whether you really mean what you say. Please think a little more before you accuse someone of being a troll, republican and supporting McCain.
Oh, and sometimes comments are HR for no reason but spite and disagreement. Some of this posters comments have been hidden for that. So before you jeer at that, again, you might want to think first.
Just b/c I want unity within the party does not mean I'm going to lie down and let people like engels abuse people in our effort to unify the party. He/she disparaged the idea of our party uniting and pushing for progressive policies and insulted the diarist. I'm going to ignore that. I am entirely sure based on his/her comments and history that engels has no desire, but to divide the Democratic Party and hurt whichever of our candidates faces John McCain in the Fall. If you have a TU status read his/her hidden comments, they are vicious anc cruel.
Please. This poster engages in blatant ratings abuse - look at his history. He has never, ever given a rating other than "one". He is a regular contributer to the hidden comment for good reason. He is a verifiable, certifiable troll. And yet, he still has the ability to rec and rate on this site, despite his constant personal attacks, racist statements and ratings abuse. Why?
