Steve Phillips of the Center for American Progress, a leading proponent of the latter view, argues that the Democrats doomed themselves in 2016 with “a strategic error: prioritizing the pursuit of wavering whites over investing in and inspiring African American voters.”

indeed. instead, they focused on the 98% of blacks who were supposedly going to vote for them anyway. which is odd on the surface of things. but it’s my belief that the Dems were petrified that the blacks were not going to come out to vote for a rich, corrupt, lying, white, elderly white woman with zero accomplishments like they did for one of their own in the two previous elections, and therefore Hillary was FORCED to pander to the blacks with a large proportion of her time and energy and money, leaving very little left over for pandering to anyone else.
