You heard that right.
They are anti old white men, which two of their best candidates are. The youth votes doesn't embrace old white men. No Democratic candidate over the age of 50 has won the white house as a challanger for a long, long time. They vote for young dymanic speakers, and this crowd is has none.
They are anti Jewish, which will matter in close battle ground states states like Michigan who have a large enough Arab and Muslim population. This hurts their two best candiates.
And their third best candidates an openly gay man with a bad political record. They have to be kidding themselves if they think a certain percentage of their base won't for for a gay man for President.
While it might only be 3-5% of their base ( I say its much higher ) with these bigotry issues, some of the swing states were close. That 3-5% might vote Trump or stay home, and that it huge.
In the past, the race card was reserved for Republicans by Democrats. No more Biden, Mayor Pete, and Bloomberg are being called out for racists policy or statements. Whether or not they were racists doesn't matter much, the fact that canidates were called out on it does. Trump might pick up more of the African American vote based on his record, and the top Democrats calling each other racists.
