    Is the suggestion here that minorities shouldn’t or don’t matter even though they are a solid chunk of the working class?

      Oh, wow this was supposed to have a response last night. I guess Lemmy hiccuped.

      The problem is that minorities are in fact minorities. You can’t win based on them. And even a bunch of them aren’t seeing the election as an existential fight. They didn’t see an increase in their situation under Biden. If Biden only makes concrete improvements for the upper classes then there’s no direct reason for the lower classes to show up for him.

      This is how autocrats have gotten elected time and time again. Democracy requires actually helping the voting class. When it doesn’t, the voters are more than happy to vote themselves out of a democracy.
