Demokratische Wahlshow in den USA

« Science Fiction triff… | Home | Entscheidungen »

Amerika. Barack Obama hat in den Hauptwahlgebieten 90% der Stimmen der Schwarzen bekommen, Clinton 60% der Stimmen von weißen Wählern. Erste Zweifel kommen auf, ob das Thema "Ethnie" doch zur Demokratie beiträgt und das vielleicht nicht alles im Polit-Showbiz richtig läuft.

Everybody's going to have to be more careful in the next few months, in
the way they talk about race, while also talking about it. A lot. I
don't know how we figure that one out, but we have to. It's a fact that
Barack Obama's getting more than 90 percent of the black vote in recent
primaries. It's a fact that Hillary Clinton's getting at least 60
percent of the white vote in the same time frame. To unite the party
behind the eventual nominee, who is almost certainly Obama, Democrats
will have to talk about the motivations behind those numbers, the
grievances, the affinities, the hopes, the dreams, and the biases.

"A new Democratic coalition is younger. It is more urban, as well as
suburban, and we don't have to just rely on white blue-collar voters and
Hispanics. We need to look at the Democratic Party, expand the party,
expand the base and not throw out the baby with the bath water."

Obama can't win without doing better among white-working class voters in
key swing states; in the increasingly unlikely event Clinton is the
nominee, she can't win unless she repairs her relationship with African
American voters.

Was für ein lächerliches Spektakel. Diese ganze Demokratie ist eine einzige Sandkastenshow, in der es um Publicity und Schmeichelei geht. Ist man ernsthaft erstaunt, dass der durchschnittliche Amerikaner von Oberflächlichkeiten beeinflussen lässt?
