Democrats tend to use the fact that they aren't racist as a selling point and Libertarians are more focused on children than minorities.

I think saying you aren't racist isn't much of a selling point, compared to material benefits.

A community center doesn't sound like much to a NEET internet denizen, easily dismissed as "lol pizza parties", but it at least shows an interest in the well being of the community. If you're in a poor neighborhood and you have some political group establish a quality commons area to bring everyone together, that'll build a sense of camaraderie with that group. It gives families and friends a place to go and stuff to do that doesn't involve getting into trouble. People tend to appreciate that kind of thing.

Democrats can try to use "we aren't racist" as their selling point, but at a certain point it starts to ring hollow if the other party is actually offering something for the community. You'd think the Democrats would've been all over this kind of political outreach.
