This is the answer, Big Tex!! I've been hearing every kind of theory about what happened to the Democratic Party since November 6, and this is the answer!!!! Since 1968, the Democratic Party has been trying to be "Republican-Lite," trying to appeal to a group of people who left them in 1968 for Richard Nixon and George fucking Wallace, and that includes Obama, Harris, and especially Clinton. They constantly speak to "unions" and "the Middle Class," yet they literally will not utter the words poor or poverty in any of their messaging. Ever! Yet, that's the reality millions of their potential black and brown voters are living in all over Chicago, in Houston, in Newark, in Cleveland, in Gary, and in rural areas all over the country. While they are constantly going after "soccer moms" and union members, they won't even speak to the people who should be at the very heart of their voting base. Consequently, these folks stay at home, election after election after election. Dr. William Barber has been trying, without much success, to get the Democratic Party to spend more of their time and money targeting these folks, and they simply won't do it. Yet, these are the same areas Republicans relentlessly target for voter suppression year after year. They know these areas, if they are ever politically energized, would bring on their destruction. The problem is, the Democratic Party doesn't realize it.

Bro, Dr. Barber is that dude. He's been speaking directly to poor people of all races for a minute. The Moral Monday sit-ins at the state capitol were huge in NC. I think the top Democrats don't fuck with him because he doesn't take corporate money like they do. It's hard to control that type of person and yes he has a winning message to follow if people would listen.

Haters gonna hate.

And that's the real problem. They'll never be happy, because their discontent defines them. Even if they get everything they think they want, they will just be mad that they didn't get it faster, or continue to complain about what kept them from it for so long.

They will always be miserable, because misery is all that they can hold onto.

And what’s that saying about misery?

Family, if just one-third of the potential Black and brown voters in our communities could be encouraged to get back into the game, these national elections would be over by 9:00, and the Republican Party would be in danger of going into permanent extinction. Steve Kornacki over at MSNBC could sit down and rest his right arm, cause it would be over, out, and goodnight with a quickness. But, the Democratic Party won't talk to them. Kamala Harris visited Charlotte and the Research Triangle at least four times, at least. Yet, Bishop Barber was over in rural Carolina working with at least 350,000 Black farmers and rural voters from North and South Carolina, but the Democratic Party leadership didn't see fit to go to them just once. In the end, she wound up losing North Carolina by less than 185 000 votes. You think some targeted attention to those folks wouldn't have made a difference? Combine what happened in Carolina to other inner-city and black rural areas that were ignored and you see why we are where we are right now.
