I'm not in the party.

You've already come to the conclusion that the Democratic party won't "champion your causes", so why are you and your factionmates still in the party?

There are MORE parties than two. And some of aren't in either major party. I am not interested in either. For instance, I'm not part of the GOP's anti-woman agenda or the dems sneaky anti-woman agenda. When they owned both houses and the pres, they didn't codify abortion rights.

You actually mean they need to become more herrenvolk populist to get your vote. How do Black and other "identity politics" people "win" under those circumstances? If you've given up on the party, then why do you keep talking about what they have to do to get your vote?

You've concluded that they never will do enough of what you want to get your vote. Know what? You're right. Thank goodness.

I never said that.

I've listed the dealbreaker policies that are required to get my vote, and they number three.

Try to keep up.

You all could be focused on winning over the racists among the white working class who you all say are alienated because of us. You all could make a "pure economics" (ahem) appeal to them, unfettered by the pretense that you all care about "identity politics people".

I don't want to win over racists, kiddo. I was never talking about racists. You're the one trying to drag that into this.

I'm talking about health care, the environment, and paying the bills.

"You actually mean..."

...what I said.

I mean what I SAID.

But it seems I don't need to be in this conversation; you're doing just fine debating yourself, since you're only going to respond to your strawman arguments.
