Quote:Because the people who voted for Obama in 2012 and didn't vote for Clinton in 2016 are the ones Democrats should be trying to get back.I wonder how large that set is, lol?
Quote: And not only will calling them racists not do that, it's patently untrue.If you vote for a racist ideologue who makes racist campaign promises, I don't care how you rationalize it away to yourself....youre a racist.
Quote:Call the deplorables racists all you want, they're not who the people you're disagreeing with are talking about, that's just the strawman you're erecting so you can feel good about being intolerant of the intolerant, that's harder to do if you acknowledge that you're actually being intolerant of what used to be the Democrat base.What strawman? Did a person vote for a racist ideologue with racist campaign promises or didn't they? They might not be the same class of racist as their more well practiced bigoted brethren...the deplorables, nevertheless.....a vote for trump was an affirmation of racism.
"Im not a racist, I just voted one into the office of the presidency"
-nah, doesn't work for me. Could've voted third party, not voted, or wrote someone in.
