Great essay written by a billionaire Dem

114. But again, you want to make race front and center without relaying to these white

voters why it is their issue. That's the problem. You are leading with the very thing that gets these people to tune out because they already feel triggered and attacked by the accusation that they are racist, and they already think that its these marginalized groups that are the ones imposing upon them and getting unfair support. They're off by miles, but that is what you are contending with, and you can't undercut that message by just telling them that racism is bad. You can't effectively fight against gerrymandering or voter suppression either, since we're talking about voters who are going to continue to sanction and facilitate that disenfranchizement so long as their misconceptions are allowed to stay in place.

What you can do is to attempt to dismantle the purse-strings that stoke that racism. There is a way to push against racism that makes holding onto it an albatross around these voters necks that prevents them from getting what they want and need. And again, that involves tying the propaganda and its purpose to the racism they are ingesting. Why do you want to try to have this fight without addressing that? Why do you think it will be successful? Why do you think big money can't just find other ways to scapegoat us and divide us? It was really fucking easy with Muslims after 9/11. It was really fucking easy with family values in California. They will find an "other" and they will use it because as we continue to have this proxy war with their voters, they continue to rake in the dough and to be the invisible puppeteering hand...untouched.
