“The Democratic Party Is Trash”
Powerline ^ | December 7,2017 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 12/07/2017 11:52:35 AM PST by Hojczyk

If you thought the Alabama special Senate election couldn’t get any stranger, you were wrong. The race has been upended by a remarkably boneheaded move on the part of Democrat Doug Jones’s campaign. The Jones campaign is being accused of racism:

[Jones is] now embroiled an upsetting controversy of his own: Black voters across Alabama are calling out a campaign flyer with extremely racist underpinnings.

The Doug Jones for Senate Committee ad, which has gone viral on Twitter and was previously reported on by the Root, shows a picture of a Black man staring at the reader. Above reads, “Think if a black man went after high school girls. Anyone would try to make him a senator?”

This obviously was an attempt by the Jones campaign to play the race card, but it seems to have backfired.

As Michael Harriot explains for the Root, the committee’s flyer relies on an “oversimplifciation of the black mind as only caring about black issues.”

“Part of the reason the Democratic Party has been marginalized as a party that only exists on the coasts and in urban areas is whitemannery like this,” he explains. “The Democratic Party is trash. It is the reason Hillary Clinton lost. It is the reason Donald Trump is president.”

As Steve likes to say, get out the popcorn. The best thing about the Alabama Senate race is that it will be over in five days.

As to the "oversimplification of the black mind," Nancy Pelosi took care of that. ..

Sitting next to perverted John Conyers, she called him a "black icon."

It is now cemented in America's mind that "black icons:"

<><>walk around Congress in their underwear,

<><>grope staffers in church, and,

<><> have the news media fearful for sexual assaults if they get in an elevaor with a black icon.

When Jones loses, his campaign will blame it on ignoring Wisconsin and Michigan.

Yes, but it is going to be replaced by something a half-tick to the right of the Communist Party.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.

Now Alabama voters can say their choice for Senator was between

a republican who pursued woman of a certain LEGAL age and

a democrat RACIST.

That’s a lie on it’s face! If it isn’t, then why are there so many pregnant Black high school girls today? They aren’t being impregnated by nine year-olds, or White guys!

"The Democratic Party as we know is DEAD."

The Democrat Party has been reduced to a sad collection of corrupt urban political machines and insane radical grievance groups.

No the Democrat party is not dead. No matter how much more corruption is revealed the Democrat party is strong.

The reason it will continue to thrive and dominate national politics in the next decade is Socialism is on the rise and growing rapidly.

The most popular politician in America is Bernie Sanders (74% view him favorably) the most prominent Socialist in the nation, and he trounces Trump by 20% in most 2020 polls.

In my state of California, everyone knows how corrupt the Democrat party is here. But yet they hold every statewide office and super majorities in both houses of the legislature simply because they arent Republicans.

There are over 65 million people who voted for Hillary Clinton regardless of known corruption.

The American people dont care about the corruption of the Democrat party. The American people want Socialism and the Democrats carry that mantel.

By 2024, with millions of new young voters and 1 million legalize Dreamers, the Democrats wont be able to lose, even if they tried

Doug Jones racist ad is a “low tech lynching” of a black man.
