Adrienne Shropshire of Black PAC outlines the Democratic formula for winning the South by concentrating on the African American and youth vote. The segment critiques the lack of a specific "black agenda" despite high voter turnout. The reliance on non-black funders is characterized as a legal and cynical form of voter suppression that ignores the ADOS movement.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez has labeled black women the "backbone" of the Democratic Party, a move seen by some as a strategy to divide black men and women. This focus on black women followed the special election of Doug Jones in Alabama and is viewed as a modern iteration of the "No Man in the House" rule. Critics argue the elite use these gender-based strategies to destabilize the community and maintain a permanent "bottom rung" in the social hierarchy.
