Liberals call Jennifer Holliday an Uncle Tom

But that makes sense only if Trump supporters are a insignificant minority and they are anything but. The popular vote was nearly a 50/50 split. She is going to alienate as many people as she attracts. Taking into account she backed out on a commitment and it may even backfire.

It doesn't work that way. First, no business/performer can afford to lose half of their income/following.

Second, the number of people who refused to vote was app. 42%. So trump supporters are hardly half of the nation.
Long after everyone forgets who chose not to perform for the Orange Buffoon, they would have remembered who did.

No, money is.

No one cares what celebrities think. Obviously. People may like a song or movie, but entertainers don't put food on your table. Takes no real brain power to do what they do. They need us much more than we need them.

Exactly! Which is why nobody will touch the Orange Buffoon with a ten foot pole.

This is political warfare. Until Trump, democrats and liberals have fought like pansies and wimps .. too controlled by corporate democrats and the Clinton wing. The Left doesn't fight like that. It's why the DLC always hated the Left .. until they needed them.

So refreshing to see democrats and anti-Trump Americans giving the right a taste of their own medicine. A sign the Left has a stronger voice in the Democratic Party.

The Left can get nasty .. and will be. There is no better foil for them to be nasty with than Donald Trump. :0)

This is history in the making.

That remains to be seen. Sure...right now, Dems are suddenly defending ACA, after running from it in every mid term. People are up in arms now, after not bothering to vote.
Truth is, all they can do is bitch and moan. Republicans can do whatever they want for at least 2 years, and all the screaming in the world will not stop it.

Something DNC should have thought about when the thought they had Obama's voting block in the bag, and chose to force feed Clinton to 'their' side.

So Holliday has to kiss ass and not do what she wants to do because of gay people? Ok, got it.

Performers rarely do 'what they want to do'.

They do what earns them money. Do you honestly think she 'want's to perform in front of White Supremecists?

I get it. But if someone who is a not a Democrat and is a socialist could vote for Hillary how could more not do the same vis a vis how bad Trump is?

Because that demographic does not decide elections. You have to inspire people to bother to vote. That's why mid terms always have low turnout unless there is a 'movement' in the air.

I watched a feature by the Young Turks about how Colin Kaepernick is following through with his activism, donating his salary and money made from his jerseys into Detroit and other areas. Funny, I haven't seen any of this reported on msm after they maligned him for taking a knee. He is actually doing something!

I saw that too. Unfortunately, he would have accomplished more if he simply inspired those who followed him to vote. Instead, he chose not to vote (which I don't have a problem with) which will account for more damage to the community he wants to help.

Exactly. Unfortunately, for the multi-generational millions who have been made slaves by the Dems, the damage continues. They've been bought and paid for the Dems to keep them in an infantile, emotional state demanding they be spoon-fed for life with shelter, meds and food. Their only "responsibility" is to keep voting these masters in office. Millions of beautiful human beings have been robbed of their right to individuality, critical thinking, freedom, drive and ambition to excel to their fullest potential.

You're talking about Southern Whites, right?
 
My God, are you vying with Twatsky aka Nostradumbarse for the JPP soothsayer award? He predicted that the Electoral College would kick Trump out and we all know what happened there!

I don't disagree with any of that. The Left is sick of weak-kneed DNC and corporatist Clinton and OBAMA policies. Obama is every bit the corporatist the Clintons are.

The history is in the change in the direction of the Democratic Party. The Left is more in control, thus up to 50 democrats in Congress may boycott Trump's inauguration. More willing to fight, and fight nasty.

The ACA and how it was achieved was problematic from the beginning. It's better than nothing, far less than what could have been achieved. They only fight for it now because its better than nothing, but a better system is still on the minds of many.

From my perspective, the problem isn't the Democratic base, the problem is the Democratic Party.

If we're being realistic, the problems run deep. If Clinton/Sanders won the election, we'd continue to see overt obstructionism from Republicans. Our govt is broken. It has reached a point where a supermajority is necessary to accomplish anything.

True bi partisan legislation is a thing of the past.

This country has gone through 16 years of that. From both sides. They all have to be replaced. Everyone of them. Start anew otherwise this whole bunch of bullshit is going to continue and the only people, the only people, that are going to continue suffering are the American people.

Yea...that's a common sentiment. Not sure how it plays out. I disagree about 16 years. Democrats worked with Bush on legislation that was for the common good. Republicans flatly refused to do anything for 8 years, thinking it would give them the WH after 4. There has never been a case of such overt obstructionism in recent history.
