62. Clyburn is a target too now?

Why am I not shocked. Not that most white voters outside of S Carolina even know who he is. I must have missed all the GOP ads featuring Clyburn.

And of course Kamala Harris is a target too. What's the excuse there? It can't be because she hurts the party. It's pretty clear to me that she is targeted because they fear she will be too popular.

And why not Sanders? Why is he not a liability, despite the fact the GOP tether to him every Democrat running for office? It makes zero sense to target Clyburn and Harris but give Bernie a pass if the concern is the party's image.

My view is that the voters and critics so anxious to appeal to the affluent white male vote and and drive away the base by targeting the handful of women and people of color who have achieved leadership positions stick with the the GOP rather than trying to remake the Democratic Party in its image.

There is no evidence to support any of these claims about winning. For one, those claiming absolute knowledge about how to win have never gotten a single one of their candidates elected, even in the bluest district. Clearly they don't know the first thing about winning. Additionally, If the critics cared about Democrats' winning, they won't vote for them. Yet they have publicly said they have not and will not. Despite that, you uphold their demands for power over a party and its voter they despise.

Yet again, we see voter suppression ignored in lieu of the quest for the affluent, white male reactionary voter who is troubled by seeing women and black faces in leadership position. That argument isn't based on data or fact. It shows flagrant disregard for evidence in order to advance an agenda that cannot be justified through evidence, reason, or appeals to what is just. It reveals a value system in which a few thousand white men of means are more valuable than millions of voters of color and women. There can be little more unjust.

If you dont realize what you're enabling, you better wake up fast.
