Why the fuck would you establish yourself as the racism party and then run a candidate racists will hate

[–] RedSturgeon@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Because lots of people are liberals and don't like racism, even when they are racist.

They don't just hate people based on how they look like, they hate dangerous criminals, homeless people, people from poor countries etc. Which why there's a fight between them and people who hate someone based on their appearance.

because a surprising number of the members believe the bullshit that they aren't actually racist and are just preserving the culture or whatever wank they claim this month

You've got to have a few PoC in the party to point at so you can claim to not be racist. Most people do see racism as bad even if they support racist policies. They just only see racism in the most cartoonish obvious way. So having a few tokens around alleviates their guilt of being racist.

Nigel Farage isn’t the most competent politician out there.
