You thinking they’re stupid doesn’t make them so. Your attitude has been the general attitude of the Democratic party. That being, “The other party doesn’t like you so vote for us you idiots.” That’s a pretty awful way to keep people wanting to vote for your party.

Like it or not that’s how things work with first-past-the-post general elections. If one does not vote for the most viable opponent they are supporting the greater evil. Staying home or voting third party helps Republicans, who are explicitly racist by word and deed.

There’s also the fact that the Democratic party assumes the only think black people care about is their blackness. Because of this, they ignore the fact that a huge part of the black population has values that more closely align with the Republican party. The Democratic Party has taken this voting bloc for granted for years thinking that calling the Republican party racist will be enough and they can then ignore all the other things they care about.

That’s like suggesting Jews should support Hitler because they like his economic policy. Hogwash. Republicans certainly care about blackness. They are openly promoting white nationalist ideology like the great replacement theory, and they have been the party of racism a very long time. Study after study shows Trump was elected because he exploited racial anxieties, and you think black voters will overlook this because of… values?

Specifically, what issues are you claiming are important to black voters that are not being addressed by Democrats? I’m curious what platforms you think are more important than not having their rights revoked and their history erased.
