Black Democrats are really just Republicans that don't hate themselves. The Democrats have been moving more and more to the right economically. Hopefully this year they finally replace the Republicans and a new left-wing party forms.

How is the party moving more and more to the right economically?

Also, please don't insinuate that black democrats (like myself) are just Republicans...

Popular vote is now 8,606,352 Hillary, 6,078,210 Bernie.

About a +2.5m lead for Hillary.

Welp. So much for trying to break that firewall. Anyways I think Sanders is now gonna try to just...win as many delegates as possible to use them as bargaining chips

What?

The Republicans are generally racist or ignorant, so Blacks pretty much default to the Democrats even if they're conservative. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the majority of Blacks are conservative. The Republican party would probably be a better fit for them economically but they won't vote for any Republicans because of all of the issues they have with them.

How far north does the Southern firewall go? Ohio? Illinois? North Dakota? Alaska?

I'm not American but maybe you're right... Here in Canada most blacks are left by a huge margin

As much as I wish we could just lock this up for Hillary, Bernie NEEDS to still stay in this race. The Republicans are going to July and will have constant coverage. We need Democrats in the media and for Bernie's message to be pushed. However, he can't be doing what he has in debates if his goal is to prevent someone as irresponsible as Donald Trump from becoming President.

IMO it's definitely over for Sanders. Even ignoring that winning the nomination would be a miracle to begin with, the media will be crowning her as the nominee tomorrow. There's no chance of recovery.

I'll still vote for Bernie in the primary even though Hillary's winning literally every state from this point on (assuming I don't vote in the Republican primary, which may be more worth it since there's actually contested races on that side in my area), but I'm cautiously supporting Hillary now. I'll probably vote for Stein before Trump.

Call me ignorant.

But I don't understand the value of voting third party. What's the point?

Sure you could you can say you don't like either of the candidates but I wouldn't resort to voting third party. To me personally it's a waste.

I would judge both candidates from the major parties critically. And choose the one that mostly shares my views.

Would having more than two parties to choose from on general elections be nice?, Sure. More options can be a good thing.

But until we as country push that as serious avenue collectively its just a wasted vote imo.

None of the black I know personally would ever jump to Republicans even if they improved on social issues. Many voted on economic issues more.

Democrats without blacks would cease to be a viable party, but keep dreaming.

Obama is the most economically left president since the 70s, arguably 60s. Hillary (as she has campaigned) is definitely more left than her husband was.
