Democrats Haven't Tricked Black Voters

This doesn't mean the Democratic Party is good or not racist. On the contrary, it’s quite racist, and has shown little real inclination to deal with the issue of police violence or mass incarceration. But, nonetheless, when black people vote for the Democrats, they're making a rational choice between a party that occasionally tries to address their concerns, and a party that demonizes and stereotypes them, and is ideologically organized around treating them as subhuman outsiders.

Sartwell suggests that the problem is the two-party system. But there's no reason a third party wouldn't also be racist—or even more racist, given fringe parties in Europe. And if black voters decided as one to vote Green, all they'd do is ensure Democratic losses and install a permanent Republican majority. That's how a winner-take-all system works. Black voters who realize that haven't been tricked. They're simply using their votes as wisely as they can, given bad options.

"The fact that black voters have voted over 90 percent Democratic for decades leaves them almost wholly without power," Sartwell insists. That's completely backwards. Black voters have limited power because they live in a racist country. Faced with two racist parties, black voters make the best of a bad deal, and vote for the person who is not screaming fascist gibberish and flirting with the KKK. For white people, whether progressive or conservative, that can be an uncomfortable thought.

It's surprising how easy this is to understand and how many miss it.

I think even the average Trump supporter knows his "What do you have to lose?" campaign is BS. The real problem is these Terraformers - Hoteps in disguise, thinking that because Democrats don't do enough, both of these parties are the same and that throwing away our votes is the only option
