As usual, I agree in general with what you've said, but I have to add two qualifiers (not arguments):

1. The non-elected leaders in the Democratic are not the same as the overall pool of Democratic voters, and they're not the same as the diverse group of elected Democrats we're familiar with. These functionaries tend to be idiots, from the local to the national levels (I've dealt with them). Anyone in the pool of Democratic voters (every ethnicity, every gender, every age) will at some time have to grit their teeth and ignore the advice and statements of these fools, because the non-elected leaders and funders of the Republican Party are greedy, rapacious plutocrats who would stomp their own mother to death if it meant getting a few votes to benefit their economic agenda.

2. During the 2016 election, the Republican strategists (probably with input from Trump's son-in-law) created two fake Black men on social media to post online remarks that Hillary Clinton wouldn't help Black people. (There's plenty of evidence that Clinton's support for Blacks was at best mixed, but these impersonators just made stuff up without regard to facts.) We're going to encounter a hurricane of disinformation in the next few months. It would be in everyone's interest for us all to stand tall against lies and manipulation.
