Blexit Campaign - Black Exit from the US Democratic Party

[TaraJo]

Yes, absolutely, there are problems with the democratic party.  I'll be the first to argue that.  But let's look at our alternatives:  Republicans are literally courting klansmen and neo nazis.  A "unite the right" rally involved some of the most racist pieces of trash calling themselves republican.  I have a very hard time seeing black people being able to overlook that a political party is literally welcoming klansmen.

After that, there's the green party and libertarians.  I mean, I'd like to see more third party participation in American politics, but we would have to make some serious, fundamental changes to the American political system for that to happen.  Right now, third parties are just spoilers, frequently funded by parties that are hostile to their ideology simply to weaken their opponent.  

And as much as there are problems with the democratic party, I'm going to assume that a lot of black people feel the same way I do: I'm not crazy about the democratic party and I absolutely loathe Joe Biden, but at least his political party doesn't want me dead.  When your very existence is a partisan political issue, I don't feel like I really get to choose what party to support.  I have to be a democrat because hating me is part of the republican platform.
