...who might sometimes vote Dem locally but consistently get fucked by both parties to varying degrees. The sort of people whose choice in local elections is often either the shitty right-of-center Democrat (the Joe Manchin type) or staying home. People effectively if not literally disenfranchised.

And also the people who live in "blue" pockets of GOP or swing states (e.g. Houston) who have a similar experience with local Dem rule to people living in Boston or Seattle, who know firsthand that the Dems are two-faced liars who will funnel as much money into the police as any Republican

People for whom "lesser evil" and "harm reduction" are empty phrases, who would vote for viable Labor or Green Party candidates in a heartbeat if they existed. This isn't just about racism, even if that does play a role in giving the Democrats permission to be their worst selves
