As a resident of the suburbs, it's funny when Democrats say "we need to appeal to the less-racist suburban voters"

You know what's more funny? That Democratic candidates who appealed to these voters won their races, even when nobody believed they would (Virginia, Alabama).

Worked great in Georgia- 06 too, especially the 2nd time with $30 million tossed aside.

You got me. If only Democrats ran a socialist in that district, he would have won in a landslide.
Amirite bro?

Which group had massive swings against the racist pedophile? White educated suburbanites or the "white working class?"

Which group had massive swings against Ed Gillespie's race baiting campaign? White educated suburbanites or the "white working class?"

It's pretty clear why Bernie bros are so hostile to college educated suburbanites. They are not exactly a Sanders-friendly group and if they become part of the Democratic base then far-lefties like him become more or less as irrelevant as the Blue Dogs and the DLCers.
Of course to appeal to WWC the Democratic party must throw under the bus blacks, Hispanics, gays and women, but I have a hunch that this is a sacrifice Bernie cultists are very much willing to make.

I like how people on this thread are saying the democrats need to appeal to minorites instead of the WWC, implying that minorites are a monolith group who apparently are hyper focused on social issues and on those social issues they all possess extremely liberal beliefs.

Minorities are voting as a monolith for a simple reason: because one of the two major parties wants to return to the era of Jim Crow and the Chinese Exclusion Act.

No, but they could've saved that money and thrown Rob Quist over the top (who btw, won the Election Day vote and would've held on with the Early Vote with a little more funding), or hell maybe even Thompson in Kansas.  That's two districts that could've been saved by all that money.

Who are they? Ossoff got his money from direct donations to his campaign.
Are you going to chastise his small donors?

Oh no, don't worry. The Blue Dogs and DLCers will be happy to throw minorities under the bus whenever it's convenient.

At least those "Berniebros" support policies that actually benefit POC instead of deadend centrists who say they want a "national conversation on race" and then do nothing for POC politically.

1)Blue Dogs and DLCers are no more.

2)If Saint Bernie really cares then he and his cultists should stop insulting them, trying to disenfranchise them, and criticizing the party he ostensibly supports for practicing "identity politics" (which is an evergreen Republican talking point).

I said they played off "mad black woman" tropes, I've seen her attacked because of her "attitude and temperament", similar attacks were made against Erica Garner. Seems centrist Dems only care about black women when they're taking their vote for granted.

Nina Turner is an idiot and an ingrate. In 2014 she had no problem asking for Bill and Hillary's endorsement and bringing them to Ohio to campaign for her, but two years later she trashes them and calls them "corporate sellouts".
She had no problem cozying up to the Democratic establishment as long as it helped her political advancement, but now she suddenly thinks that the party is corrupt and ineffective.
It's because of craven opportunists like her that people become so cynical about politics.
