'Democrats have good reasons to sound anxious about their message and what it ought to be,' writes cptime.
President Joe Biden speaks at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro on April 14, 2022.
“Let me say it slowly for my Democratic friends in Washington, D.C.,” Scarborough declared. “Black voters are more conservative than you are. … Hispanic voters are more conservative than you are. … Asian American voters are more conservative than you are. … They’re more conservative on crime, they’re more conservative on education, they’re more conservative on these woke issues.”
Rev. Al, a fellow MSNBC host, picked up the ball, blaming out-of-touch elites and “limousine liberals” in Washington for losing touch with bread-and-butter issues that voters of color, particularly African Americans, really care about like crime and inflation. But, as President Joe Biden’s approval ratings slumped into record lows and Democrats expected to suffer the losses of Congressional seats that the office occupying the White House usually suffers, Democrats have good reasons to sound anxious about their message and what it ought to be.
As made clear by local polls and debates in New York, Chicago and other cities that have been wrestling with a nationwide surge in crime during the pandemic, many Black Americans say they are more worried about police brutality against minorities than about local crime. Politically, November elections showed support for police defunding to be on the wane. As Republicans pushed a “law and order” midterm message, President Biden firmly declared in his State of the Union address: “The answer is not to defund the police. It’s to fund the police. Fund them. Fund them.”
