Why Do Democrats Not Just Pound GOP Openly About Being Racist, Bigoted & Misogyny Party.

I do not understand why the Democrats don't just come out and call the GOP "The Racist Party" 24/7. I seems like the Democrats give all the GOP candidates a pass on this. THEY ARE ALL RACISTS TO THE CORE. Shout it in their ugly faces. Democrats need to be able to take the sucker punch openly, publicly and aggressively.

Whites are still the majority of the country. Dems need white votes to win too. Talking about the truth of racism, sexism etc. turns away to many of them and will cost us votes.

Some people like to live with their head in the sand. Some people are ignorant as was to what is really going on around them. Some people still, don't care or like the current system of unfairness. Sadly, those people vote too. And yes, we need at least some of that support to win.

That many have been conditioned by 30 years of right wing horseshit, and it's just ignorance of a wider world. To go full tilt in calling them all racist bigots would only inflame further, an already poisonous political dialogue. If one is to hope for a better climate, I don't think it would help to label them as such. And its just not racism, there's an illness of conscience which has spread like a virus throughout Republican politics.
