Politico actually reports this, and apparently thinks it's a pretty good plan.
A new Democratic-aligned initiative -- dubbed the White Stripe Project -- has a novel idea for winning white working class voters back to the Democratic Party: lean more into talk of equity and race.
Organizers say traditional methods in wooing white voters are ineffective, often relying on knee-jerk recommendations from an elite group of Democrats that pushes a race-neutral economic message.
Are you kidding? The Democrat Party is pushing a "race-neutral" message?
In what alternative plane of existence?
White Stripe organizers say this approach is misguided. They are calling for a more targeted and data-driven approach that they argue will be a better return on investment.
The project has plans to build a robust infrastructure to attract white voters who are open to Democratic messaging but who are less likely to vote. Once identified, organizers are betting with targeted messaging and pinpoint engagement that enough of these voters will show up for the party at the ballot box.
They're dying to vote for policies that actively discriminate against them and their children?
That last part is pretty important. It's one thing to tell someone you're going to enact policies that will keep them from getting into competitive colleges or promotions in their careers. Some might say, "Ah, I missed my shot anyway, who cares?"
But telling them you also intend to make their children a lower, disreputable caste blocked from the pathways to the upper middle class is a deal-breaker for anyone who doesn't actively despise his own children.
Then again, Democrats are routinely bringing their children to drag shows and sex-change clinics, so this plan is just so crazy it just might work!
Meanwhile, Democrats are also seeing lower levels of support from... black voters.
Democrats are concerned that black voters won't turn out for President Joe Biden in 2024 like they did during the 2020 election, according to The Washington Post.
Democrats are increasingly worried after the 2022 midterms saw a 10% voting drop among the crucial electorate, despite the party's victories in the Senate, according to the Post. Party activists are now making it a priority to bolster turnout for black voters, particularly in key battleground states Biden narrowly secured in 2020 -- Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
"The Democratic Party has been failing epically at reaching this demographic of black men -- and that's sad to say," W. Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project, told the Post. "Black men are your second-most stable base overwhelmingly, and yet you can't reach them in a way that makes your work easier."
Robinson argued that Democrats should focus on black men, who are "sporadic or non-voters," rather than suburban "conservative-leaning white women," he told the Post. Many Democrats told the Post their concerns are largely over black men and not women, who they expect to continue to show out for Biden so long as Vice President Kamala Harris is on the ballot.
Black voters are significantly less enthused about a Biden reelection campaign than they were in 2020, with only 55% saying they're likely to support him in 2024, according to an early May AP/NORC poll. The same poll suggests that 81% of Democratic voters say they'd definitely or probably would support the president if he's the nominee.
"We have to meet them where they are and we have to show them why the political process matters and what we have accomplished that benefits them," Cedric L. Richmond, senior adviser at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and former Biden adviser, told the Post. "We will not make the mistake that others made of not drawing all the connections."
Huh. They lost white voters. They're losing Asian voters. They're losing Hispanic voters. And now they're losing black voters.
You'd almost think they were doing something wrong, eh?
In some better news for the Democrats: They have a lock-tight grip on transgender furries who now claim that household objects are pronouns (and vice versa). That's a solid foundation you can build a future on.
