The "principles" of the leftists are quite malleable.
Here, they support a candidate, whose roots are the black equivalent of the "White Identity Movement," the same racial focus and racial preference, the epitome of racial identity governing political choices.
There is not a word of condemnation for the "black identity movement" as exemplified by Rev. Wright's cult of which Obama was a member for some 20 years, and whose leader was Obama's mentor so that he learned those precepts and they became part of his thought processes and values.
The leftists here seem to find no fault with the black voting bloc, voting on the basis of racial identity. If the black bloc had voted thus in the general election it would have been understandable since they are identified with the leftist Democrat Party political program.
But the blacks engaged in bloc voting, voting based on racial identity, when they repudiated Hillary Clinton, a person with a long history of support for their ideological program, and instead supported a parvenu "because he was black," because of "black identity." Now that somehow from the leftist perspective, embodies "virtuous" support. But if whites identify with a white candidate, that is distinguished, and "bad," because of reasons not articulated by posters here or elsewhere.
If the left is steadfastly opposed to racial identity politics, why doesn't it condemn that choice, whenever it occurs, and flog the blacks for abandoning a tried and proven white person, Hillary Clinton, in favor of an untried black with racist hate-group roots. Hmm.
The absence of blacks at the convention may be due to the universal draw that programs providing for black preference have for blacks. This is coupled with such a large component of the black population constituting a welfare constituency, whose votes are bought and paid for by welfare program fund distribution, supported by Democrats.
Blacks have been welcomed by the Republicans, the party of Lincoln, the party that led the Union cause, the abolitionist cause, in the War Between the States, that resulted in so many hundreds of thousands of deaths (mostly deaths of whites - many of whom were ideologically motivated abolitionists). But blacks identify their current interests with black preference and welfare programs, bones which the Democrats have thrown to them. And are in thrall to black opportunists such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who have worked the programs for their own enrichment under the aegis of democratic political philanthropy, which has delivered huge sums of taxpayers' money to support such charlatans, so as to secure support for turnout for voters for Democrats.
But again, why is it that blacks identifying with a party, and voting on the basis of racial identity politics, is "good," while whites identifying with a party and voting on the basis of racial identity politics, is "bad."
And "the eye of the beholder" seems to distort the picture viewed. The Republicans certainly looked as hale and hearty and healthy as the Democrats at their convention, indeed more so. But it is so necessary for some of you leftist zealots to denigrate Republicans that your powers of observation are impaired.
Keep whistling on your way to the graveyard. A throwaway election has become a race because of the candidate that "racial identity politics" with "racial bloc voting" has foisted on the Democrat Party. Que tal.
