(2,068 posts)Why do people assign meaning to something that isn't there? I cannot fathom a white progressive pining for the good old days of FDR "AND" meaning that it be just as exclusive for POC/LGBT, etc as it was in so many respects. When I pine for the Democrats to be more like FDR Dems....never in my wildest imagination do I intend that to be how you and others are taking it. That is just so f'ing insulting at the very get go. I voted for PBO twice, and would gladly do so again if it were allowed. What isn't ever acknowledged by anyone....PBO would never have been elected without his ENTIRE coalition...meaning also including his rather sizable percentage of the white vote. Take away any demographic of said coalition and you have no PBO. These threads are infuriating because they assign wrongful intent to other people's words.
