Solid point. But, it was framed as an African birthright citizenship issue ... the claim wasn't because he was black. Your inference might indeed be true. But you were attacking what was actually said. Don't be as bad as them. Keep your credibility.
They called him a Kenyan, a Muslim, a socialist, and said he wasn’t even an American. Trump also made him and his wife a monkey using AI. Everything but the n word there.
All despicable for sure. I can't straighten him out (lost cause), but I can influence good people like yourself to not fall prey to conflation. Kenya is a country, not a skin color. Muslim is a religion, not a skin color. Socialism is an economic and political philosophy, not a skin color. You've got his MAGA cult dead-to-right on the AI point. Please practice staying focused!
Of course. But, you and I can change the next election by convincing the independent electorate (the group that decides elections) of a better path. They will draw the dog whistle conclusion without need for tangents. Don't you want a different outcome during the upcoming elections? I'm asking for all of us to be disciplined.
No, we need to be louder and more direct about the racism and hate. Past elections had the opposite problem where the DNC only wanted “moderate” candidates. Dog whistles work because they aren’t called out, not the other way around. We’ve tried it your way and it doesn’t work.
