If the Montana elections demonstrate anything, it's that white people will not save the Dems [View all]

no matter how much some on the left seems to think they will. Rob Quist was a solid candidate, and Montana ended up electing a sociopath. He got backing from people we were assured were extremely popular with the WWC. Yet, he lost.

The majority of white people will pick the sociopathic policies of the GOP. The faster we get over our obsessions with the WWC and focus on engaging in communities of color and trying to get POC to vote, the faster we can start winning elections again.

Yes, there are conditions under which things might change (like, a recession that really hurts people), but overall if we can focus our efforts on making it possible for POC to vote, to be in communities of color articulating the importance of voting, we would not only win, we would do the moral thing.

PS: before someone says it, I said 'Majority" of whites, not all white people. Fully aware that a minority of whites are committed Democrats. FULLY AWARE.
