Some Democrats’ inability to properly imagine the party as a coalition of diverse interests drives me UP THE WALL. I just read a quote from Tim Ryan that Conor Lamb is what the next iteration of the Democratic Party should look like and the sheer tone deafness of these white ppl.
Y’all know when you’re a minority or queer or a woman or etc., a big part of survival is sniffing out how much ppl hate you (or are indifferent to you, or will actually help you) from context clues and indirect statements, right? It’s second nature bc you can’t survive w/o it.
