re: DNC Chair candidate from Idaho hating on whitey

“My job is to listen and be a voice, and my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say ‘Oh no I’m not prejudiced, I’m a Democrat, I’m accepting,'”

This is just doubling down on stupid. They lost an election because they got too engaged in identity politics. The DNC believes that they can win every election for ever and ever by nailing down minority voters in a country where whites will soon be in the minority. This is why they are focusing so much on them, and part of that strategy is to convince minorities/women that the Republican party is trying to oppress them.

What this has resulted in is us abandoning the idea of a color blind melting pot and creating a multicultural society where color is THE major component of what defines us.
