The figure comes as part of a new set of polls that show former President Donald Trump narrowly leading Biden in 5 out of 6 crucial battleground states.
Unfortunately you're right about racism... It seemed like it might have been getting better at least (although obviously it was still there under the surface), but then mister pussy-grabber made it seem like it was perfectly ok to hang out with the Proud Boys and openly hate anyone who was different. We're not going to fix racism in a generation or two, but at least we had gotten to the point where it was mostly frowned upon in mixed company to talk that way, which meant the kids weren't hearing it as often and understood there was a reason for it. Now a generation that could have sparked a real change has just been face-slammed with open hatred from a standing president and we've probably been set back a full generation on the subject. A similar argument can be made for LGBT+ where people who thought it was finally safe to be themselves are once again being attacked in public.
I'm not surprised about the DNC pushing Trump as a candidate in 2016, hell nobody believed he could win. As for pushing denialists and others... I'll have to look into that, it's not something I have heard about before. I still find that a lot easier to swallow than the GOPs constant tactics of direct voter suppression though
We’re not going to fix racism ever as long as the US exists as a settler-colonial state that keeps the majority of black people in worse conditions and imprisons them en masse. It’s not about rhetoric.

Don’t you get it? The Democrats are elevating Republicans so that they can do and campaign for these exact things which then motivates you to vote for the “lesser evil.”

For pushing denialists, here’s one source.
