Distribution of white voters in presidential elections, 1964-2020. Chart: Jordan Engel

Democrats haven’t won the white vote in a presidential election since 1964. Election after election, it’s up to Black, Indigenous, and people of color to “save” the United States, while the majority of white people, this time without plausible deniability, cast their votes for white supremacy.

The Democrats can thank them by not taking their votes for granted, and blaming them for not being thrilled with their options. The Democrats can thank them by not turning around after the election and defunding their communities, sending the cops to brutalize protesters, and silencing their calls for justice.
