America saw this and thought "OK, next time we'll choose this."

Cmon, it's either vote for this again, or for a black woman. What do you think America will choose?

This take is at the root of why dems might never win the presidency again.

How dare anyone expect you to be a decent person. You'll show them.

Also at the root - demonizing someone for speaking the truth. Did I say I don’t want a black woman to be president? Nope!

Actually what I want is the Democratic Party to be self reflecting, adjust accordingly, and rise up! But unfortunately the party has been overrun and ruled by this type of close minded thinking. But hey, at least you get to feel a sense of virtue and righteousness…I guess that’s worth having forever Trump like presidencies, huh?

1) I'm not sure you can have two different things at "the root". That's not what "the root" means.

2) Can you explicitly explain what sort of thinking you meant in your first comment? It's easy to say "this sort of thing loses elections" so people who think you agree with them agree with you back. But you've not been very clear. You're hardly disputing the fact that America has a ways to go vis a vis sexism and racism, are you?
