Democrats continuing to insist they need to get more racist instead of appealing to their base.

Is that your takeaway, genius? Was that how Biden won over Trump FOUR SHORT YEARS AGO, by appealing to the democratic base?

Funny, I don't remember the base being pleased with Biden's record AT ALL. But.. he was a white male, wasn't he, hm?

You seem to have a very foggy memory of Biden's campaign because he did make numerous concessions to the Bernie wing. His failure to deliver on those promises didn't mean he didn't make them.

On the other hand Harris openly flaunted her conservative endorsements and campaigned with Liz Cheney. Her strategy was explicitly to court moderate republicans who voted Trump anyways. Perhaps she would've peeled off more moderate republicans if she was a white man but that was my point. You want the democrats to appeal to more racists and you're insisting that they do that by being more racist.

They had a damn cop run for president and then took the black vote as a given. Fucking dumb.
