(9,538 posts)And I am not buying the proposition that all working class white voters hate you, black and brown people. The fact is, a great deal of credit for winning the 2020 election goes to the white people who don't hate black and brown people. Should we assume that the number of white voters who hate black and brown people, as well as those who don't, is written in stone, and give up on any attempt to change their ratio? What is there for black and brown voters to gain with this strategy?
On the other hand, I would give black and brown voters enough credit to not assume, even for the sake of a flawed argument, that they always vote the way they are told. If black and brown people consistently vote with white Democrats, there must be something that tells them of the alternative being far worse. Can we at least not insult their collective intelligence with suggestions they can't tell where their interests lie?
