#Blackwomen

Is trending right now on twitter. Finally people are thanking them for trying to save our democracy. This is awesome! I hope the DNC realizes their value and never take them for granted again, by bypassing them trying to reach out to the Trumpbots.

since they were brainwashed and indoctrinated over many decades.

Since the '60s, we were able to get about 10 - 15% more white voters to agree with what is the "inclusive" Democratic platform enough to actually vote for and allow candidates who were POC (like Patrick & Obama and Booker, etc) or women to reach higher offices. I.e., POC candidates were generally able to get about 25% of the white vote (at least in urban areas where they were running). Now that % is running about 30% - 40% (for dynamic candidates).

But it still means that 60 - 70% of whites have lost their way and lost their minds.
