Do you seriously believe there aren't racist Democrats? Have you been to Boston?

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that!

Cant believe the idea of a racist democrat sounds any more improbable then a gay republican...

Exactly, there are a few of every type in every party. People are complicated.

There are some, for sure. That’s why I asked “a lot” in my post.

Enough is the answer. There are enough to make a difference unfortunately. All you need is about 50k votes in key swing states to win.

There’s got to be a Venn diagram of people who are racist in their heart but also recognize Trump is very bad news. It’s a small ass sliver but in 395m people there’s bound to be a few that fit.

There certainly is. I vividly remember one such person who proudly voted for Trump, but her husband got deported and she mentioned she didnt realize the ramifications were real so she’d never vote for him again.

You clearly don't know the Midwest. Plenty of people that are blue collar, union folks are not going to show up for a black woman from the Bay.

Right? Because anyone who is that racist and misogynistic doesn't vote Dem.
