Comment on I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement?

    Bah, I lost my nerve and deleted it. I also wasn’t sure if this was the right place to post it. Should I repost it?

      I’m just saying that you did a good job of summarizing that:

      • young people in general feel disenfranchised, young white people as well, but the Dem party only focuses on culture war issues, so they are explicitly not fighting for you or even trying to represent you if you are poor and white
      • that does not mean All Lives Matter wasn’t just a cynical attempt to muddy the waters around the police regularly murdering black people
