In reply to the discussion: As a black loyal Democrat, I say SCREW the white working class who insist on voting Republican [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)Instead of making the Democratic Party more comfortable for bigots who pretend to wear a "progressive" label (like the two terms are somehow synonymous) I say we should work on regaining the franchise for the up to seven MILLION Americans who had their voting rights abridged by GOP shenanigans at the state and local level.
We can easily grow our party with those individuals and by motivating the base (who I think, near term, will be well motivated after this soft coup by the Orange Anus).
But I don't want to "accommodate" racists. I don't want to put up with sexists. I don't want to "understand the concerns" of xenophobes. I don't want to tolerate them in any way, shape or form. Fuck them and their hate-filled rhetoric and attitudes.
