[Marxism] The Democrats fear "fear the poor and minority voters" MUCH MORE than the Republicans



Hello Everyone. This is a question for Mark Lause

In reply to my last post, in which I said the
Democrats fear mobilizing poor and minority voters
almost as much as the Republicans do, you wrote,

?NO!

?The Democrats don't "fear the poor and minority
voters ALMOST AS MUCH as the
Republicans." The Democrats fear "fear the poor and
minority voters" MUCH
MORE than the Republicans. This isn't a choice they
face in the upcoming
election, but one they've faced again...and
again...and again. And every
time they side with the enemies of progress and the
people.

?Why do we ask this question every election as though
it's the first time?
Haven't we gotten the point yet??

Could you explain that a little bit to me? I have
always thought that since FDR, and especially since
JFK and LBJ, the Democrats have relied on trade union
and black voters to get their candidates elected.

If this is not true please educate me. If it is true,
please explain what you mean.

I think the Democrats fear the working class, but they
need their votes.

This incidentally is why I was asking about Ignacio de
la Fuente and Ron Dellums in Oakland.

Thanks,

Anthony
