    Democrats need to figure out what is likely to hurt them in the fall: the demobilization of working class POC, seen already in recent Wisconsin & California elections.https://twitter.com/hmcghee/status/1261399225809674241 …

    That good news turnout story from Wisconsin? Not so fast: 49% in white majority wards vs 18% in Black and Brown wards. https://www.demos.org/blog/covid-19-silenced-voters-color-wisconsin#.Xr8A7fj-rLE.twitter …

        Joe Biden will hurt them in the fall. They’re not even pretending to try.

        It was a huge story that Milwaukee had tons of polling places closed in Black areas. People were shut out

        Having only 5 polling locations, 3 of which were in white majority areas, might have played a role here.

        You want to make that argument, go ahead. But a primary election in which the winner had already been selected, in the middle of a pandemic, that the governor had called off, and in which only 5 polling places in Milwaukee were open is not the test of this thesis.

        In the CA 25th district, not many working class ($85K median). Longtime GOP stronghold. Perhaps in WI, PoC didn't turn out because of Covid 19. The demo w/highest risk of contracting virus?? I agree tho: Dems gotta get to work

        And when Bidenites sneer at the need to energize young voters and POC, it only makes it worse.
