My two cents:
Joe Biden has presided over the most successful and wide-ranging domestic legislative agenda in 60 years.
Black Protestants have helped make Virginia and Georgia blue leaning states, and black voters keep Pennsylvania and Michigan from being consistently deep red states.
Black voters also tend to be among the most savvy of liberal voters. Affluent 20-something white liberals handed George Dumbya Bush the election by defecting from Gore to Nader, and the argument can be made that white college kids fatally wounded Hillary Clinton by giving the non-Democrat Sanders a seat at the Democratic nomination process.
I've been a registered member of the Democratic Party since 1967, and I've voted, not in primaries but in general elections,
for too many morons that my party has nominated because their only viable opponents were despicable Republicans.
The next ticket that I split, in fact, will be the very first. I vote in a straight blue line, and I've done it for well over a half-century.
That doesn't mean that I have to toe the line with my feelings and in what I say.
Our elections are a binary choice because candidates outside of the two major parties are not themselves viable, even if they can unfortunately help influence which of the major candidates will win.
The very thought of being an independent with my balls being mangled because I'm straddling a fence sickens me, as I've often made known to JPP independents. People with balls chose a side, even if they both suck.
If we had a European style Social Democratic Party, and if it were truly viable, I'd bolt the traditional Democratic Party in an instant, despite my having been saddled with them for my entire adult life.
All I can actually do, though, is internally push my party as far to the left as I can.
This makes the little black church ladies of the south my mortal enemies, in a way, because frankly speaking, they're not liberal on anything but black civil rights issues.
If I were a racist, wouldn't I hate the more progressive black leftists in the north as well?
But my views toward the church ladies,
who except for Georgia the last time, DON'T deliver electoral votes in the general election,
get me accused of racism on the site. Not that I actually care. The people of color with whom I've associated will make their own determination.
It's always other white people who call me racist.
