America does create numerous problems in the world, that's not what I'm disagreeing about - it's about blaming every horrible decision a country does on America and offering no counters to who fills the gap when America's hegemony is broken. It's intellectually lazy and builds nothing.
The problems in America are bigger then the Democrats simply not trying to make progress. They have been, and have been ground to a halt because the country's problems are hard to fix. Many of which require amendments, which require 2/3 of congress to vote yes on.

She outright lied, and I posted the full video of what happened in 2016. Because she's lying, and hurting herself with Progressives. It's a good thing she's probably gonna lose her homestate and drop out in the next two weeks.
Here are the facts my dude/girl

's stunningly misleading answer about her pitch for superdelegates at the 2/26/20 CNN town hall.
That's a completely dishonest statement and you know it is.
It also gets to the root of the problem -- things won't change as you want them to, so Sanders' supporters will even attack allies to get their own way.
That said no one "expects" you to do anything -- just remember what goes around comes around, so don't complain when people do the same with Sanders and likewise don't complain when people choose not to support or vote for him or his policies just as you won't support other Democrats.
Sanders is the one who has changed nothing so far -- he has a respectable political movement but we have yet to see any meaningful legislation as a result.
That might change in the future but as it stands the Democrats have done far more than Sanders has with regards to progressive legislation.

The first part of your statement answered your question. Dems take those voting blocks for granted because they know in an (only viable) two-party system in which the other party is the GOP there is no other choice, they are the minority default option. The Dems feel they don't have to give minorities anything but kind words (in most cases) because the GOP will give minorities even less.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Many in the DNC are "minorities" just as the last Democratic president was a "minority" and many do address minority issues directly.
Look -- if you want to sit around and bash "both sides" have at it.
Just don't be dishonest about Democratic efforts to pass progressive legislation.
Republicans (like Boehner and McConnell) are the reason said legislation doesn't pass -- not Democrats.

I never said they want nothing to change rather they take minority voters for granted and feel they don't always need to give these voters what they want. This is because they know there is no other option in a two-party system where the GOP is the other party but to vote Democrat.
I frankly don't understand what you find so objectable about my statement?
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
I saw the post about how the Democrats are trying to literally steal the election, but if we call it out, we get called conspiracy theorists. Democrats best shot to win up and down-ballot is Sanders, but they don't want to lose that money.

Democracy hangs on the idea that those who get the most votes wins. Politicians are supposed to compete over how many voters they can persuade, not how many they can disqualify or demoralize. #CAPIdeas

You'll See Rebellion': Sanders Supporters Denounce Open Threats by Superdelegates to Steal Nomination
"The Democrats might be able to stop Sanders, but in doing so they would destroy their party's own electoral prospects."
The other poster claimed they wanted nothing to change so I included it in my statement regarding dishonesty about the Democratic party.
Likewise it's dishonest to claim that the party that passes civil rights legislation, voting rights protections for "minorities", gay marriage laws, equal pay for women laws and guidelines (etc) takes "minority voters for granted".
More could be done but it's dishonest to claim that the party that has minorities in many prominent positions takes their own needs for granted.
Again -- the primary reason most of said legislation doesn't pass or gets rolled back is because of Republicans -- not Democrats.
