America has degenerated into sectarian politics, and in such a system you can’t have a civil discourse about anything without “resorting to racial attacks.” I went to go see the candidates in Iowa for the 2020 Dem primary I was amazed by their talent (Elizabeth Warren particularly) for injecting race into literally every issue.

Wedge politics. As old as time. Find an emotional issue to carve out a group of people. Then craft a statement that appeals to that group. It makes your campaign feel more personal to them. When you get elected, fail to implement anything you promised, and blame it on the other party.
