    You are still approaching this from an electoral mindset.

    At present, the Democrats still have to pretend to care about minorities. But we know this is not going to stay forever, as evident by them abandoning the Palestinians. The question is, how soon do you want the Democrats to give up on progressive and minority votes?

    If they realize that they have already lost the progressives and minorities, it will only accelerate their fascist turn.

    Remember, we are talking about delaying the inevitable. How much time can we buy? 1 year, 2 years? 4 years? Every little bit of time counts if the left wants to build up its strength.

      You're the one thinking electorally, saying Democrats "have to" pretend to care about minorities.

      They don't, and now that genocide Joe is talking about shutting down the border it's clear the mask is coming off. Old Jim Crow Joe is already signalling that he's done pretending about minorities. If he wins despite everything then not only will his mask slip, but the rest of the Party will see pretending to care doesn't matter in the first place.

      At least if Democrats lose the Whitehouse they'll reflexively oppose Trump in their derangement. If they win, why wouldn't Biden put me in a bipartisan concentration camp?
