There is a lot of racists, bigoted, and misogynistic shit going down right now – the termites of America have come out in droves. This post is not about that.
Since 1976, a Democratic presidential nominee has never won the white vote. The 2016 Election continues that trend. Of course, some votes for Trump were from the termites, but many of the of those who voted for Trump are not racist at all. But most importantly we have to stop labelling all Trump supporters as vile termites.
The Democratic Party needs to figure out how to connect with white voters. The lessons the party has learned in accepting and fighting for minorities and disenfranchised people, must be taken and adapted into an outreach program for American whites, both uneducated and college-educated who feel extremely left out of the process.
If you keep on labelling all Trump supporters as disgusting, you are just being elitist and judgmental. More importantly, we will continue to lose elections and isolating a large portion of the American population. We need to find someway to bring them in to the fold.
