Hellworld nightmare fuel: the GOP continues to do outreach like this, maybe they even offer some real gains in the form of either minor criminal justice reform (during which they talk about undoing the "Democrat Crime Bill") and/or economic programs a la Kamala's "small business in an undeserved community blah blah" shit but more substantial. They see gains in the black vote, especially among upwardly mobile white collar types. This has the secondary effect of alienating the few remaining hardcore, old school white supremacists, who are comfortable going back to voting for Democrats. The GOP conducts some very detailed polling to illustrate this transition and publicizes it very well, painting the Dems as, once again, the party of white supremacy, versus a GOP that is now a resurgent Party of Lincoln.
The Democrats stand there with a smoking gun in their hand and a bullet hole in their foot, scratching their ass in an effort to find their head.
The day the Republicans start addressing wealth inequality and talking about the class war, is the day the Democratic party dies forever.
The Dems nominating Joe Biden shows how much they care about the poor people. The next 4 years are going to be them waging naked class war on us while offering the usual empty platitudes and identity politics. We're fast approaching the point where neither of those things work anymore for liberalism.
The Dems wanted to be the Republican party of the old days and they achieved it by nominating Biden. He is basically George W Bush 2.0 and they love that. Biden's message to all of us? Fuck you if you're poor. The austerity his admin wants to push during the hardest economic conditions since the great depression will lead to a massive backlash from the right wing.
Refusing to meet with a music celebrity who scribbled down a few cool ideas in his Trapper Keeper isn't "taking black people for granted".
O'Shea Jackson doesn't appear to have any kind of base of support. He's not leading a movement. He's not organizing people municipally or advocating on behalf of this plan to any community of interest. He literally just went straight to Trump and offered to do a photo-op in front of a stack of blank pages.
Neoliberals melting down over Brie's interview with Chomsky is a great example of Democrats not giving a shit about black people organizing in their class interest.
Jackson asking Donald Trump to send the National Guard into the streets against Antifa is not.
Besides, it would take a half-hour Zoom meeting to avoid the whole issue and at least look like you’re trying.
If the Democrats had stood up Jackson as a prop and pretended to care, this sub would be ripping on them for that, too.
Understanding that Biden doesn't give a shit doesn't mean you need to indulge the GOP kabuki theater.
Conservative "Get off the Democrat PLANTATION" is the cringiest shit ever but the Dems very much do take black people for granted

It's almost like bourgeois parties are a dead-end.
I don't really care whether the "lesser of two evils" has an R or a D next to their name.

You're safe in that regard
They'll do the "out of touch coastal elites" line, but they won't touch their backers' money or say anything about redistribution

Nobody should take this shit seriously.
Sure, but a lot of other stuff Democrats do is.
