From a NYMag story about a recent Siena/NYT poll - they also think 'most women who run for President just aren't that likable' and media 'looks down on people like them.'

Non-Voting Democrats are more likely to think white discrimination is a problem, oppose immigration, but they do like single payer.

its when you don't get all the privilege you grew up with anymore
No way. Class conscious people on the left (with very very few exceptions) are way plugged into racial justice issues. Sometimes misguidedly, sure.
buy a hillary clinton book and sneak it in his bookcase next time
There are tons of "anti-identity-politics" leftists online.
Yup. Saw a lot of that shit in 2016. Even from Bernie. Hell, immediately after the election media outlets were putting out takes about how the Democratic party may have focused too much on the needs of minorities and not enough on WWC voters.
How so?
Yep. Saw this inforgraphic today shared by an indigenous twitter user, I really like the clarity and succintness of it all.
Black people were tsked tsked to hell and back after 2016 by liberals bemoaning identity politics. It's been a popular refrain of liberals to tell black people it would be a mistake to focus on black issues.
And this was despite the fact that we broke the most for Hillary.
We can't win for losing.
Just because these assholes cease to exist on voting day doesn't mean they cease to exist every single day. Their garbage opinions and scorned white feewings inform their treatment of minorities and marginalized people on a daily basis. They're unfortunately very relevant.
at that point you guys only have a chance because Trump is terrible
I usually hear it in terms of things like "man it is so much easier to get scholarships if you aren't white, all scholarships should be able for white people" and "Affirmative action is BS, it is certainly why I don't have a job. That's white discrimination!"
So I would say it's bullshit by people who have no idea what they're talking about, or worse of course.
Changing a white character to a POC in a fantasy setting
Except people that look like me have to live, work, and exist next to people who invalidate our lived experience every day.
Free college, free healthcare for me, but fuck the brown people essentially.
I suspect these are the sorts of democrats that buy into right wing bullshit but will never admit it. The use of liberal like it is extreme far left wing politics is the most telling. "Want a Democrat who is more liberal than most Democrats", it is like everyone involved is too chicken shit to say spooky terms like Democratic Socialist or WORSE.
White people have the market cornered on being fragile. Snowflake is the perfect descriptor for them.
When Japanese landlords wont rent to you because you are white.
Lol at the idea that 'white discrimination' exists in white majority countries like the US though. Fucking dumb
The US is one of few countries where two parties are pretty much are on one of the both ends in the political spectrum with little to no overlap. It does make sense that many nonvoters understand that a lot of progressive/liberal policies benefit them, but could care less about minority issues. Which is interesting because white democratic voters are actually becoming more liberal on racial issues.
I think in most part of the world and it includes minorities in the US as well, the population is social conservative to moderate, and economically left-leaning. In the sense that they back government-backed policies of spending and social welfare. It makes sense that a huge portion of non-voters fits that bill in the US as well.

these are neolibs and libertarians and those who withhold their vote because the Democrats are too "bleeding heart". They would vote Republican but they aren't too up on religion.
white discrimination is what you get when white race traitors side with minorities to gang up on Real Americans.
lmao. "I too have faced systematic discrimination because of the color of my skin!"
