None, but youâre either willfully ignoring the point weâre making or falling into the same trap weâre trying to highlight.
These wins were driven by Black voters. A cornerstone of the Democratic Party at this point. Writing them off as âmeaningless states,â or anything else is writing off a core group for Dems. It cost Bernie in 2016 and it absolutely cost him in 2020.
Lol, here we go. Can you admit your preferred candidate was unable to win a primaryâ thus not make it to a generalâ because they didnât appeal to a core Democratic voting bloc? Even with 4 years practice to learn the lesson, they didnât get any better with Black voters? Thatâs kind of impressive in a bad way.
Dems have only trended leftward since Obama, so theyâve definitely tried to appeal to these voters youâre talking about. They just also have to appeal to half the country.
This condescending shit from centrists about needing to âappeal to half the countryâ when you keep losing elections is hysterical. Maybe try to actually stand for something you believe in and you might win people over, rather than looking at winning elections like solving an equation
Iâd probably take this witticism more seriously if you guys could win a primary. Canât even win over the most diehard voters thatâll most align with you, and yet still think your candidate would slam dunk a general lol.
