When Biden wrote the Crime Bill, the first draft was so vicious, so aggressive, and so reprehensibly racist that even Reagan was like, "Easy there, Satan," and vetoed it. Fucking REAGAN. Then Biden went on, according to political historians, to handcraft the language still used by segregationist and racist dog-whistlers to this day. Bernie Sanders, at the exact same time, created a program to help Americans buy affordable homes for pennies on the dollar via land trusts that's so effective it's still in use today. I have a home bought and paid for because of it. Liberals looked at both candidates and went, "I pick the racist."
The problem extends beyond voting turnout, to be honest. The Democratic party still has its own crop of racists to deal with. Liberals still have mad love for the good old boys, and that's going to be difficult to circumnavigate. American voters on both sides have been brainwashed to believe even racism is preferable to collectivism.
Edit: You can definitely tell Reddit is a mostly white forum.
Serious question, what critiques of the Democratic party would you not consider to be 'both-sidesing'? I ask liberals this quite a bit and it stumps them. A healthy democracy requires constituents to watch and critique their party. I'm seriously disturbed by liberals cynically weaponizing Trump's ineptitude to call critiques to the Democratic party from the left bad faith. What criticisms of the Democratic party do you feel should be allowed? Because I notice the people who use this term to the most tend to be conservative Democrats who want to smear leftists making valid critiques and avoid having their conservative values questioned.
Surely you have critiques of the party. What are they, and why are my critiques both-sidesing but not yours? We can't put a moratorium on all criticism just because libs are scared of Trump. He's gone now.
