I wonder if any of the "liberal elites" can tell us why Trump did better with Blacks, Latinos, & Asians than Mitt Romney did in 2012 AND won 53% of the White woman vote, if Trump's victory was JUST about how racist and sexist Amerikkkan voters areOh yeah, he only got 1% more of the White vote than Romney did in 2012 as well.

She'll be Obama part 2. Third Way bullshyt with condescending incrementalism towards poor blacks.How do you know Kamala might not have a great plan for this nation? What Black female candidate has run on that platform of "playing the race/gender card"? Why premptively down a Kamala run towards the White House? I don't know her policies, but isn't that partly what the article complains about? Lack of new blood in the dem party, and cronyism within the party? Kamala doesn't come from the Clinton tree( I don't think).

What candidate/candidates do you think would make large-scale policy changes that would benefit Black folks, as opposed to the usual symbolic pats on the head? Who do you see on the horizon?

This idea that "liberal elites" are the greatest push for "neoliberalism" is nonsense.
Neoliberalism is the US' ideology, pushed by both sides of "the aisle."
And the idea that the NYTimes, CNN, and MSNBC are Left-of-center is a joke

You don't need to be a liberal elitist to explain it its painfully obvious for those no matter how ridiculously obtuse you pretend to be. Plus stating Trump doing slightly better with minorities and slightly worse with whites oversimplifies the issue about racial and misogynist undertones which propelled Trumps victory.
Trump used dog whistle rhetoric to appeal to white voters that some minorities overlooked simply because Trump cloth his message with talk of defeating "globalist" and "bringing back jobs from foreigners" and "helping inner cities", etc. etc. But it was smoke and mirrors.
He made it an attempt to blame the ills of the white working class on immigrants and foreigners. Play on their fears of terrorism and crime by attacking Muslims and immigrants, used derogatory language about women who interviewed him (Megyn Kelly) and accused him of sexual assault/harassment without apologizing for it (anti-PC). Portray blacks as a monolith of people who were the only cause of issues within the justice system/police that only lived within the inner cities of America. And always using rhetoric and talking points from white supremacist/white nationalist while never directly criticizing the white establishment racial undertones for pushing him to support white resentment and racial divisiveness.
The slight uptick in minorities came from those willing to paint these issues whites strongly resonated with as "their" issues as well.
The slight drop in white voters for Trumps is likely an outlier. More-so a trade-off. While the A-typical white neoconseratives, Independent conservatives, walked away from voting for Trump he gained support in A-Typical White Supremacist/White Nationalist that GENERALLY did not/would not vote for the likes of McCain/Romney.
I think the issue they have with you isn't that you're relatively successful, it's that your policies advantage those who are relatively successful.
"Liberal elitist" would've been a better term for this.
because Romney was running against a biracial black man with a white mother who was born in Hawaii.
Oh yeah, he only got 1% more of the White vote than Romney did in 2012 as well.
