I disagree with you
i mean, the messaging works but there's still a huge disparity between actually voting. so it's probably fair to still blame nonwhite voters b/c their participation rates are lower

Thoughts?

that it sucks
I mean, I've been beating the "we have a White voters blame EVERYONE ELSE for their voting habits problem" drum for years now. We still have posters who lambast Bernie Bros without thinking for a second about how that messaging was actually really galvanizing for a lot of voters who don't typically vote (young people, particularly young people of color).
Posters are lambasting "Bernie Bros" and Bernie Bros are lambasting the establishment for not messaging hard enough to earn their white vote. Meanwhile, Black women and plenty of other groups are showing up.
Super glad you brought this up again, but I don't understand what you are saying here. Can you explain more?
The EVERYONE ELSE is voters who aren’t white and “messaging.”
There’s a big difference between complaining and showing up and complaining and not showing up. The tweet calls out white Democrats who blame everyone else but themselves when the problem is not enough white people vote for Democrats. But it’s easier to blame “those people” rather than your shitty uncle.
So it's white people's fault.
you quoted a very small part of a fairly detailed post in response to a fairly detailed post by Ph, which included a research abstract. i'm gonna throw the question back at you: can you explain more? what don't you understand?
I just didn't understand that part of the post -- literally, did not understand the point you were trying to make. I understood the rest of it, and that's why I didn't ask about it.
Moderates should be more like progressives that can't win elections.
