So here’s my current question: as folks like @sethdmichaels have noted, the conceit that telling folks that something Trump (or anyone else) said was racist would “turn off” voters doesn’t seem to apply voters who also endure racism and racist attacks. Why?

I will never accept that Hillary was an equally bad choice and for evidence I would point to every single day since the day Trump announced until 10 seconds ago. But I take issue with the premise of Jane's question.

As I wrote a while back, what works for Trump does not work outside of Trump world. There's Trump and his base, and then there are normal people who are disgusted by racism. But if you label *all* of them racists indifferently, then you needlessly tank a coalition.

This tweet reveals a lot of contempt for people of color. The choice in 2016 was between a standard lousy politician and a white supremacist and to say that these are equally bad options is to disregard POC.

How in the world could you have watched the last two years and still think Hillary was "equally bad"

Equally bad how? Mitch wasn’t gonna let her do anything. Judges, healthcare, nothing was getting through him and y’all still act like HRC was gonna somehow destroy America. It’s not even close man, come on.
