yeah, but black people didn't really turn out to vote for hillary in the general, so instead of making a real effort to appeal to them we're just gonna throw them under the bus and go all-in on white people. it worked in the 90s, after all.

this means that we have to pretend racism doesn't exist and never existed because we don't want to hurt their precious feelings. we also don't want to mention that education is a good thing, or that workplace safety is important, or anything like that, because we think that poor white people are inbred barely-literate hicks and we don't want to scare them away by flaunting our coastal liberal superiority!

you wouldn't have to worry about your candidate refusing to support blm because black people didn't turn out for hillary if you didn't vote for triangulating centrists

Maybe the problem was that people with valid concerns that weren't exclusively race related just weren't called racists hard enough.

How long are you going to keep railing against strawmen instead of talking to real people in this thread and perhaps engaging with the things they've actually said? I mean at least this time you let someone else build the strawman, I guess.

Getting racists to support candidates who will fight against racism is a good thing.

Since resources are usually pretty thin in rebuilding processes maybe wouldn't the better focus be on the people who mainly didn't show up at all rather than dumping efforts into convincing racists that we're actually secretly on their side

Many of the people who didn't show up are still probably racists. Lots of people who already voted Democrat and who we need are probably pretty racist too.

I was more directly responding to the idea that if we let racists vote for us, or if we try to appeal to groups that contain racists (like the specific demoralized voters you mentioned) we are somehow coddling their racism or pretending racism doesn't exist, rather than making any kind of commentary on where resources should be allocated.

on the one hand, it really comes down to cost of living and income margin and also wealth is ultimately the core metric of bourgeois fuckery, on the other hand, unless you live in a major coastal city like SF or NYC then 6figs is more than enough to live comfortably.

well you do get why someone would be wary of that right? Like, historically the best and most effective way to appeal to racists is, ya know, be racist. Like, how do you appeal to the guy who genuinely believes welfare programs are made to funnel money to the scary minorities to live high on the hog without playing into his worldview? It's not like we've never tried to kill stupid myths like that.

Call me naive but I think Trump was pretty good at getting the bigot vote, I'm sure stay at home voters who also happen to have some opinions about 'the blacks' exist but I think he did a good job if appealing to a nice big chunk of them

Exactly. You do that by loudly advocating for things they do value that aren't contrary to your fight against racism at the same time as you loudly advocate for fighting racism.
