    Hopefully next time Democrats can give a better strategy than pretending that immigrants stand together.

    Ex: Kamala is Indian and Black. Guess who is coming from a deeply segregated country where they believe certain castes to be racially superior to other castes?

    You ain’t gonna get kumbaya togetherness as a message and get the Indian vote. You’ll be seen as naive.

    Democrats are shit at understanding politics or how groups think. Republicans have outplayed you on this political point and it’s why the racial politics are more 50/50 than you expect.

      Had an aunt point it out to me but while Kamala is half Indian half black she always says she’s black. Which makes sense when you question whether the Indian community supported her or her mom.
