we could reach them, but they don't. They respond to make America white . . . er, ah . . . great again talking points as they're afraid of losing their white privilege. To them, talk of evening the playing field for POCs seems like oppression to them. They want the 50s all over again where they didn't have to have even a high school diploma to get a good job, and of course where the black people knew their place.

Not a surprise, I mean with a black president for 8 years continuously attacked and opposed by the repugs, it was easy to vilify him and turn the race into a referendum to get a white guy, not a white woman, back into the white house.

Repugs are dirty. They know how to reach low info voters — gutter politics, they use race first, make them feel entitled to think they're special and better than "those people".

And talk about "talking points zones" you're wallowing in Sanders' campaign talking points zone with the WWC appeals. It didn't work for him because most WWC were more interested in getting rid of the black guy and keeping women down than whether some socialist is talking about free health care that's going to double their taxes.

As a matter of fact it backfired as he alienated a huge part of the base of the party by neglecting outreach to them in the early primaries. . . African Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans and other POCs.

And then after using the party's brand for name recognition and fund raising, he runs back to being an independent but still wants to control the Dem party agenda. Stay a Democrat for God's sake for credibility and a show of gratitude for now being more than a little-known independent from a small state with no influence.

Being a Democrat was good enough when running for president but not now? WTF is that about?
