That's the problem with you fake lefties. You do NOT TAKE CRITICISM. No reflection. No change in policy. Only excuses and calling anyone who disagrees with you a shill. You may not be controlled oppo but dammit you sure act like it. This attitude of ignoring people whenever critics say "hey this thing you're doing is alienating people and making them turn their backs on you" is probably the worst aspect of left politics and actively makes change harder. You care more about the rush of being "dissidents" than for getting things done, hell, the act of getting things done is "selling out" because you have to accept stuff you don't like or stuff that is objectively bad to do it (meanwhile extolling FDR, LBJ and JFK who made the same compromises)
West should not have said all that shit about Obama, but he did and now nobody in the AA community cares what he has to say.
