13403999, The white vote hasn't gone for the Democratic Party since the Civil Rights
Posted by MEAT, Fri Sep-18-20 07:41 AM
Act passed. During that time the vote percentage of non whites has gone overwhelmingly to the Democratic Party.

While there are few representatives of those demographics at the heads of the power (US Senators, Governors, House or Senate leaders) that's just as much a symptom of "pay your dues" entrenchment than it is of racial bias.

All to say is that the voting base of the Democratic party is not the same as the party leadership. On a fundamental level the Democratic party is more diverse out of pure necessity, you either elevate subversive or explicit white supremacist policies or you don't. The Republican party has not allowed for that wiggle room.

So you'll see a large number of centrist, moderate, or even conservative non whites firmly in the Democratic party as a result. So when some white liberal keeps banging the drum of people being swindled (ala you're too stupid to know what's good for you) or that there's some cabal to keep from knowing their power and that person is a smooth talking Black man who time and time again told us what he was and everyone projected their ideals on him, rather than acknowledging him as flawed, moderate compared to the youth, but radical compared to the party ... then what do you call that.

What do you call a person that can not, on any level, humanize the people that he wishes to use to see his world view enacted?
