I was the
first one on the forum to bring up the country balkanizing along racial/ethnic lines. At the time, I was viciously mocked and attacked for it. Sanchez even said I was more racist than Bannon [!] Now it seems like the conventional wisdom, everyone says it.
I will maintain until the end, that the Democratic party choosing to nominate Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in 2008 was a grave mistake. Having the face of the Democrats be a minority, especially from a group that already voted 85%+ Democratic, for eight years deepened and entrenched the ethnic polarization of the country along partisan lines.
