, asserting that he alone can recoup votes lost to Trump — by which he means the white working class.
Newsflash: We Democrats haven’t had a majority of those voters in 55 years. When Johnson pushed through the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act in the mid-1960s, white Democrats who opposed integration — especially in the South — ran to the GOP and never looked back. The last three Democratic presidents — Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama — won because they inspired and motivated black people to vote in huge numbers.found that black voters — while generally voting Democratic — feel ignored and marginalized by their own party. They feel, in many cases, like candidates are so busy pandering to white people that they are ignoring the people who actually can return a Democrat to the White House: black voters.
Candidates don’t need to convince masses of Trump voters to change their minds; they need black voters coming out in big numbers. And black voters will turn out in big numbers because a candidate addresses our issues — not just spouting policies on health care and employment and climate change and gun violence, but policies that address how people of color are disproportionately affected by these of society’s ills.
