Of course the Dem platform is more inclusive and Diamond and Silk exist to comfort white Trump supporters into believing that they’re not racists. That’s entirely my point. Trump has made the bar very low, which is how someone with no business in the race got >40 million votes

But I thought you were saying democrats were not inclusive in their messaging and republicans were. As in they would “take” anyone who didn’t disagree and we somehow wouldn’t?

You specifically said Clinton was exclusionary. Exclusionary to whom? In my view she was far more inclusive.

To all the people who didn’t vote for her, specifically the ones in the swing states. And my whole point is that your view isn’t what matters in a national election. As a NYer, mine doesn’t either

The voting happens on Election Day, are you talking about during the campaign? How was she not inclusive? She said half of trump supporters were good people! Please read this form her “deplorables” remarks.pic.twitter.com/unmIOb4xlc

How is that dismissive? To me it seems the exact opposite.

You keep saying “to me,” without acknowledging that maybe you were the target demographic. And my whole point is that to win a national election, you’ve got to convince folks who are disinclined to support you in the first place

The only opinions I know how to express are my own. I don’t pretend to share the same views as people who didn’t vote for Clinton. I cannot speak for them. I don’t trust their intentions and I’d likely misrepresent them if I tired.

Did you read the speech section? Do you believe she isn’t inclusive of them when she says we have to empathize with them and understand them?

Maybe I was not the target demographic because I didn’t have to be persuaded to vote for the sane and normal candidate instead of the racist sexist asshole? It doesn’t seem like a heavy lift to start there, but

I think the problem here may be that you are trying to have a normative conversation and I’m having a purely descriptive one. I’m talking about what happened and why it did. Not whether it should have

But you said Clinton was exclusionary when she was not. I see no evidence she was dismissive of any voter other than the racists: The “basket of deplorables” for whom there was no redemption or persuasion to be had.
