And look where it got them. Like Trump said: what do you have to lose by backing the GOP?
Agree. But is that a problem?
That didn't work at all. The GOP continues to get its usual ~10% of the black vote.
Which part, the Dems' relationship with black voters or the GOP's soft pedaling black idpol to its voters?
It didn't. I think the focus on blacks was a mistake, esp. as the GOP got +10% of the Latino vote by simply not being retarded. Imagine if they had focused on that more (and I know you probably wouldn't like that).
I just don't see how pointing out Dems' harmful policies to the people they use as their mascots is "black IDPol".
Imagine if they kept the country whiter. That would have been their best option electorally, but they care less about winning elections than serving their donors.
You wouldn't like it either if you were actually opposed to idpol and not just when white people do it.
I already explained this. They are selling soft BLM mentality to their mostly white voter base. They aren't moving the needle with blacks, as you just acknowledged. Whites need to have our own (precarious) future as the basis of our politics, not worrying about saving blacks from themselves.
Correct.
More people voting GOP is not "IDPol". You just like to brand anything as that in order to justify IDPol for white people.
That's a separate issue. If the mentality sells, it's because it is appealing at this moment. If you view things differently, then sell that mentality to people so this is no longer appealing.
People won't stop caring about black people simply because the GOP stops using these appeals. That's not how things work, and it's surprising that a normally crafty strategic realist like you would not see that.
