As recently as last week, former Vice President Joe Biden, "Mayor Pete" Buttigieg, and Sen. Kamala Harris felt the need to remind prospective voters of their multifarious shortcomings.
Biden interrupted him by barking, "You should vote for Trump." This motivated Rodriguez to write in the Nation that this attitude had eroded his faith in the Democratic Party.
The dangers of such behavior toward voters are evidently lost on the former VP. Yet Biden's contempt for inconvenient voters isn't unique among prominent Democrats.
Last Tuesday, Pete Buttigieg channeled Hillary Clinton with the following slur: "Anyone who supported this President is at best looking the other way on racism - at best." In fact, "Mayor Pete" one-upped Clinton, who decanted only half of Trump's supporters into her infamous "Basket of deplorables." Buttigieg wrote off all 63 million of Trump's voters as racist or willing to condone racism.
Last August, when asked on CNN's State of the Union if a vote for Trump in 2020 constituted an act of racism, he replied, "Well, at best, it means looking the other way on racism."
She seems to believe she failed because of what she labeled the donkey in the room, elaborating with this question: "Is America ready for that? Are they ready for a woman of color to be president?" In other words, she was unable to overcome the racism and sexism that remains endemic to a country that twice elected a black man president, and whose 2016 popular vote went to a female presidential candidate.
Everyone has something in their personal and professional pasts they'd take back if they could, a vote they'd reverse or a more progressive outlook they wish they would have embraced sooner.
