If a large group of blacks voted en masse for a black nationalist who preached hatred of whites
and, in so doing, helped to swing the election for a different candidate one way or another (since never in a million years would a black nationalist who preached hatred of whites garner enough votes to win anything), would white Democrats (or white Republicans for that matter) spend any serious time and effort "reaching out" to those black voters and tell their supporters they should be more sympathetic to their concerns and try harder to understand and embrace them?
Or would they say, "those people are crazy" and then do their damndest to generate enough votes from within their ranks and elsewhere to ensure that they could outvote the "crazies" the next time around?
Both Clinton and Sanders bent the knee to the Jew-hating black supremacists of Black Lives Matter. Trump disavowed the alt-right and the Klan.

7. I might not like their choice but I would not stereotype all of those who voted for them
And yes, I would still talk to those people and even ask them why they voted that way because I would want to know. I would never make assumptions about entire groups of people having identical motivations for how they vote. Doing that would be bigoted and close minded.

16. For some people it was
And for the rust belt it was about what Democrats failed to do to help desperate families who needed help.

20. I've never seen so many people be so racially divisive as I am seeing here
It's disgusting. And yes, we all know Trump is racially divisive...I'm talking about people NOT candidates.
This bullshit is turning me off so bad that I think I'm done voting for Democrats now. I'm a white working class voter so I don't belong here. I'm not welcome under this ever shrinking tent. The economy and surviving is the most important issue to me as well and apparently economic justice is no longer part of social justice so maybe I haven't been voting for the right side.
Ruh roh, one of them is ruining the narrative!!11!
The race-baiters, however, will not be silenced, because something something white something something people of color

22. You're probably right. There isn't much sympathy for Trump voters or those who defend them here.
Bye bye.

28. If black people talking about our experience with race makes you so angry you won't vote Democratic
good riddance . . .
But first, let me tell you something.
People of color don't have the luxury of picking and choosing when to talk about race and when to ignore it. It's in our face every damned day. And the only thing nearly as annoying as having to deal with this constantly, whether we like it or not, is having white people like you lecture us about whether and when we can and should talk about race.
Please take your whitesplaining somewhere else. I'm not interested in it. And since, after all that you should have seen, you're still not clear on whether you're on the right side, you have already chosen your side. Please go over there with the Trumpians and leave those of us who get it and care to do what we have to do.
Bye.

I'm so mad I could spit/shit
They're telling me that the election is a "done deal" and basically "too bad".
This is seditious treasonous action and if a Democrat had been the recipient of such largesse they'd have strung him up on the Capitol Grounds.
I am pissed and sick over this. We knew it was going on and were dismissed. The whole system is corrupt and collapsing as we watch passively , "terrified of retaliation" by the Trumpistas. It's a disgrace to the human race.
Reduced to confusing which end is which.
