71. The black community is one large segment of the democratic coallition
Edited on Thu Dec-31-09 08:03 AM by AllentownJake
and any primary challenger would have to go to that community and explain why their challenge is to that communities benefit. Just like any challenger has to go the Hispanic community, Organized Labor, Environmental Groups, LGBT community, Women's rights activist etc.

If a community/interest group feels that the party is no longer interested in advancing their agenda, than the community is free to leave.

I have experience on dealing with this from 2008.

We need each other. That being said, a lot of these groups overlap. There are African American environmentalist, LGBT community members, organized laborers, and over 50% of the community last time I checked were women.

Threatning to walk over a personality, not policy, is as foolish as what some Hillary supporters did back than and I hope cooler heads would prevail in the leadership of those communities should the situation arise.
