I know the ideas of bernie sanders may sound great to you people but if you dig a little deeper you would see that they are based on fantasy and not cold hard reality
I'd say the only thing truly harmful about us being stout democrats is that the dems have come to expect our vote more or less.
We'd be in a much better place if we were largely independent, that way the dems and gop would put more effort into catering to us knowing that if they don't our vote could go the other way.
The heart of the problem is not about being stout democrats or being in any political party it's about the ideological perspective many black people adhere to without being properly educated on the real world political,social economic effects it has on their lives. independent just means you are no loyal to any party but that's irrelevant if you are leftist because you will always lean leftist.
A lot of blacks hear conservatives say something mean or too harsh and then base their opinions of conservatism just on that this is how simplistic black political thought is.
