Hillary Clinton, Bill and Chelsea Clinton, POTUS and FLOTUS will all appear at a rally together in Philly Monday night—@albamonica confirms.
Finally! FLOTUS appears. We need more from her |
That's the political Holy Grail for the Democratic Party right there. Lucky Pennsylvania.

Tragic. The Bureau has is in utter ruins right now and needs to be reigned back in. Where is the leadership?

I swear I'm seeing Obama out campaigning more than Hillary. Is he really that shook about this? 
So is it still a "guaranteed" win for Hill or where are we now with the polls? |
You're being entirely too dramatic. No, he has not done more campaign events than the nominee herself in the past month. See, stuff like this is over the top talk. POTUS is stumping the trail with maybe 2 events a week until recently, the last official week of the campaign and has been doing one event a day or every other day. Hillary has been doing 2 or 3 events a day with also operating intimate community outreach on top of the regular speech events. Yes, POTUS is bad ass and will be missed dearly, but let's not over do it.

If Hillary wanted more black voter turnout, she should have been doing more to address our concerns rather than whipping on Ellen and bringing hot sauce in her bag to The Breakfast Club. 
I'm already calling it, if Hillary loses, Blacks will be blamed despite the fact that voter enthusiasm is down in white voters too. |
That was problems we had with some (not all) liberals during the primaries. Some were too dismissive or talked down to some minorities who preferred HRC to Bern. In the end things played out and Hillary is the nominee. Hillary has done more to express our concerns. Who do you think is responsible for "Mothers of the Movement?" She got these mothers together, LISTENING and empathizing, while they poured out their hearts of the pain they've endured. She encouraged them to take their message on the road and band together. So that's what they did, they took their pain and made it a mission to educate and encourage change. Change for the criminal justice system and change in gun reform.
Those mothers stumped for their sons, Hillary, and the black community at large. She put the crisis of Flint, MI to mainstream on a national televised primary debate when most of the national media ignored them. Because of it, more resources, funds, and empathy were sent to Flint, Michigan. They also got to host a primary debate as well. She's spoken to ENDLESS black churches, almost every Sunday this year, laying out her agenda. She has had intimate round table discussions with BLM activists, NAACP leaders, Congressional Black Caucus members, regular black families in America struggling economically or over social injustice. She's done interviews with BET and the Breakfast Club, as you already mentioned. Listening, taking questions, answering questions, and joking with them. Hot sauce IS something she carry in her bag and has a well documented history of her endless lover for hot sauce and chili peppers (Google and Youtube are your friends). Hillary on what is now said to be the most televised national debate ever with 80+ million watching, preached about systemic racism and how white people need to be more understanding of the struggles within the African American community. So how is she not doing any outreach to the black voters? She's done PLENTY.
No, Hillary isn't going to lose the election. If black voter turnout is low, it's just gonna fall on us for not participating in our civic duty that so many of our ancestors died fighting for the right to do. If people try to blame us for something, we could clearly just turn to the white community who voted at a half rate or or sided more with the other side. It doesn't always fall on the black vote for being at fault for a loss. Now, if we complain about the justice system but don't vote to impact change and hold people accountable for their words, then we have no right to complain. When presented with the opportunity, we must cease it when we have a chance to select a candidate who has engaged in dialogue continuously with us over one who doesn't at all, so the answer should be obvious.
Let me clear my schedule.
