I think it is dead wrong on almost all accounts. I don't think people are widely racists and the accusation wasn't even underhanded, it was very well perceived.

I think it is dead wrong on almost all accounts. I don't think people are widely racists and the accusation wasn't even underhanded, it was very well perceived. That did cost a lot of votes. Especially since the democrats even wanted to penalize people for allegedly being racist. Like a monarch that went crazy. This is really bad overall advice in my opinion. > that “moderate” voters don’t have moderate views, just ideologically inconsistent ones. Anyone advocating ideologically consistent views should be eyed with suspicion. Perhaps people are interested in how their situation can be improved instead of how their alleged opinions can be bettered. Some of those people hoped for a little less hubris, which was in vain if you read stuff like this. Sorry, but it is really that bad and I wonder how these people became sociologists in the first place. To suggest that you can only win an election while appealing to racist white people is so far removed from reality...
