This is what you were told the Democrats ran on, not what they ran on. You got all your information from partisans who lied about the other party.

>This is what you were told the Democrats ran on

It's straight from the horses mouth mate. Plenty of dems were on social media vocal how the issue is many white men.

Here:

  Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)  "I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men."

  Krysten Matthews (D-SC, U.S. Senate candidate)  "Treat [white people] like sht... I mean, that's the only way we're gonna get concessions out of them... It's like that white woman in that movie 'The Help,' you know, she nice as hell to them white people, but she a btch to that girl."

  Adina Weaver (Housing official appointed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, D)  Described homeownership as "a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as 'wealth building public policy'" and called for political action to "impoverish the white middle class."

Good thing the internet never forgets.

None of those people were running for president, and none of that is part of the Democrat party platform.

Point to where she blamed straight white men for all social economic issues in the country (OP's words), or where a similar phrase exists in the Democrat party platform, and I'll take back my comment. There are a small handful of wacky politicians who are indeed on this "straight white man" kick, but it's not even remotely a position accepted by the broader party.

I don't think we conceptually live in the same universe if you think those things about the democratic 2024 messaging. I just don't understand how you and your opposing commenters can have any meaningful discussion if you're so wildly differing in interpretation of such a public topic.

It is simple, what "opposing commenters" are talking about, is what REPUBLICANS said that democrats are saying. You know, what Trump, Vance and the rest of Fox news were accusing democrats of. I would note that these are not exactly notorious truth tellers.

The person I responded to likely never listened to or cared about what democratic politicians are saying.

But you could say the same thing the other way, that's the point. I.e. you're not listening to what Republicans are actually saying but rather what "Democrats" are saying the republicans are saying.

Even your response is oblivious to the point, and you're doubling-down on "only the other side (Republicans) is liars, my side aren't liars" as a way to address the fundamentally different realities you and them seem to occupy.

I am saying what republicans are saying and were saying. You are either not listening to them or just lying about what they said.

> I.e. you're not listening to what Republicans are actually saying but rather what "Democrats" are saying the republicans are saying.

You can do that, but you would be lying.

> you're doubling-down on "only the other side (Republicans) is liars, my side aren't liars"

Yes, republicans lie more. That includes situation around the two murders in Minnesota. That includes claims that European NATO members never helped USA.

> as a way to address the fundamentally different realities you and them seem to occupy.

There is one reality and one "side" is lying about it a lot. Starting to lie the same way as they do wont solve the problem, it will make it worst.
