I just want us to live in reality.
Are all white voters opposed to Black leadership? No.
Do many white voters want a certain type of Black leader? Absolutely. And that type is usually watered down, white-washed, and made palatable for comfort.
That strategy consistently turns off a large portion of the Democratic base.
Elections aren’t about feelings. They’re about numbers.
So spare me the opinions about @jasmineforus and @jamestalarico.
If the record shows that heavily funding and running “less polarizing” candidates keeps producing losses, then maybe — just maybe — it’s time to try something different.
I’ve run for the U.S. Senate. I’m not guessing when I say this: putting real resources behind candidates who actually engage Black and Brown voters is the path. A new version of the same old strategy keeps losing.
They tried Beto. They tried Collin. Neither was considered “polarizing.” Both lost.
So don’t tell me what can’t win.
The most polarizing man on the planet is president right now. America elects polarizing candidates all the time. Audacity wins when it’s funded.
What I’m asking is simple: stop ignoring Black voters in the South.
If you have one million Black voters on the table and you’re 200,000 votes short, your odds of winning increase by engaging those Black voters — not chasing white ones who have already shown you who they are.
That’s not ideology. That’s math.
I’m glad people are debating this openly, because we need to clean it up if we actually want to pick up Senate seats. The South is the pathway — and Black voters are the Democratic base in the South.

Whatever the best of America once was, appears over. The fall began when a criminal pig was "elected" with Putin's help the first time. Fascism is now fully institutionalized. The guardrails are now fully compromised; corrupted courts and congress let an insurrection go unpunished. Our taxes now go to the federal government to pay and feed the secret police brazenly killing innocents in the streets day after day. And the assholes in charge do nothing. They literally go on vacation and remain on the take from the sick billionaires who keep them fat. The bad guys just might have won
