There are tons of disenfranchised POC across the country who don't vote, are they libs? Most of them are poor and it fits the statistic of lower income households not voting at all. Over 40% of the country don't vote. The left will never accomplish jack shit in this country as long as we keep dividing ourselves with ID-POL, instead of uniting under the banner of working class and acknowledging that the class war is real.
Most POC are also working-class. OhWell has a point, even if the phrasing might read as erring too close to class-reductionist: successful organization of the US working class has to emphasize workers' common material interests and avoid the opportunist pressures from liberal identity politics (emphasis on liberal, not identity politics!) while remaining firmly anti-racist and anti-imperialist, organizing and arguing for workers' liberation as a necessary component of organizing for liberation from racism.
Some workers new to socialism start off having still internalized awful and reactionary ideas but through common struggle with POC and other specially-oppressed groups will necessarily learn to expunge any vestigial racist or otherwise bigoted notions or attitudes from their thinking and from their organizing. For example, a white socialist still recovering from reactionary baggage marching with his comrades for the BLM cause will necessarily be forced to confront their unconscious or semi-conscious racism (e.g. thinking they can ask their Black friend for the N-word pass) in order to become a better comrade, if they give a shit about seeing the workers' movement and eventual revolution succeed and aren't just in it for the healthcare. A US-American socialist organizing with foreign or Indigenous comrades will have to set aside and expunge their unconscious imperialist/settler biases to effectively organize internationally, correctly answering the national question in each context and refusing to buckle to opportunist pressure to endorse social-imperialists like Bernie Sanders.
Most POC get it but don't know theory, and so give up on poltitics entirely. Most don't even bother watching the news because it's so depressing when you don't think there is any way to change anything. That's been my experience with everyone I've talked to, at least.
Yeah I mean I get that for sure I just meant like most people who opine on politics at all are ostensibly liberal because it's the hegemonic alternative to overt racism.
