    Not a Sister Souljah moment because of asymmetry between parties. Dem pols despise base, GOP fears their base. https://twitter.com/SonnyBunch/status/896457896313192448 …

        You're accusing Dem politicians of despising their own base? Or despising racist GOP base?

        The base are the most reliable voters, not ones who look for any excuse to stay home

        But also, let's not play moral equivalence with the base. I don't think that's what you mean but it's sure what your tweet says.
