Telling someone to “get to the back of the bus” while in the same comment trying to say Race didn’t play a factor is some major yikes.
You are right on the origins of that phrase. And maybe its time for white, neoliberal, corporate mediocrity to take a back seat to black, brown, and other approaches to politics within the party, considering that was the white Democrat neoliberal politics that have been continuously losing ground for almost a decade.
I’m not even a supporter of her. I called her losing the second they announced she was the new candidate.
And called her losing as soon as she was announced? Bruh you didn’t even give her a chance? I was one of the strongest voices here asking Biden to step down and as soon as I heard she was the candidate I hopped into that coconut tree. Donated, dialed, organized. She went from being at 36% in the polls to over 50% practically overnight. She had real momentum. And when she stepped away from the politics people though she had, the ones she ran on in 2020, and stepped towards conservative white voters, she began to slip, and slip continuously till election day.
You can’t keep blaming structural issues or the electorate. They are what they are, and you know what they are before you ever slip on your walking shoes to campaign. The Harris campaign made bad choices when it came to how to campaign, and what to focus on. Blaming sexism or racism is an excuse that gives Democrats more space to continue to become a whiter, less inclusive, less representative party.
