17. Actually, if the math WAS reversed(and I've said this on DU a number of times)
I would be calling for Obama to get out(with HRC making some major conciliatory moves at the same time).

Her supporters bashing of Obama people for being idealistic and young is antiactivist, and you know it.

And "antiblack" is not necessarily the same as "racist". She may in some form believe in racial equality in the future, but you HAVE to be antiblack to say that you have to be nominated because the country won't elect a black president(as she's repeatedly allowed her supporters to say directly and as she alluded to with what even YOU would have to accept as her unforgiveable "hardworking white people" remark).

Plus, HRC created a wedge between black and Latino voters that didn't previously exist and had no reason to exist, since Obama was never indifferent to or hostile to Latino issues.

None of HRC's supporters would be left out in the cold in an Obama administration. They'd be regarded as equally important with Obama's core supporters. Obama(despite media lies)has NEVER attacked HRC's voting blocs and was never indifferent to working class concerns. Indeed most of his black constituents(as HRC people refuse to accept for some reason)are ALSO working-class.
