    STOP GOING AFTER WHITE VOTERS.

    Jesus Christ when are they going to learn. The last couple Democrat wins came from black and youth voters. White Americans (especially older) do not vote Democrat. You’d have an easier time teaching a dog Mandarin then flipping the Republican or nothing voter. Even with moderates Republicans they fall in line and independent conservatives are a tiny minority

        Considering this

        As in previous elections, White voters continued to favor GOP candidates. In the 2022 midterms, 57% of White voters cast ballots for GOP candidates compared with 41% who supported Democrats.

        White voters are more likely to swing conservative. You can get pissed all you want to that’s just how it is. White ppl who vote Democrat are going to vote Democrat regardless of whether they’re catered to.

        Research shows that the last Democrat win was due to youth voters and black women. Over 50% of that “71%” ISN’T VOTING DEMOCRAT. Obama won due to the youth vote and the black vote. Biden won to youth and black women.

        Also white ppl make up 57.8 percent of the population

        So going after 28% of the population that statically NEVER votes for you instead of going after the 42.2% that statically don’t get out and vote and the more than 50% of voters under the age of 40 makes more sense?

          Wow, you’re right, campaigns can only target one group to the exclusion of all others. I understand much better now.

            Or you do what the last black president did who won 2 elections in a row and focus on groups who will ACTUALLY VOTE FOR YOU

              It sounds like you feel very strongly about this. Instead of shouting online in a way that accomplishes nothing (which, again, you feel very strongly about) why not volunteer your time to reach out to the group you think should be focused on? You’ll help what you think is important and maybe get some coaching on how to effectively persuade people.

      Guess I’m not white. Does being gay just fully cancel out my skin color? Or is it my neurodivergence?

      Live in Texas and have never voted for and never will vote for a Republican. My first political rally was a Sanders event.

        I’m a straight white man, by definition I should be a Trump supporter, but I am also college educated so I guess that’s what cancels out my white maleness.

        Welcome to the club. People keep insisting Jews aren’t white, so why not queer and neurodivergent people as well? My daughter would be like triple non-white.

      WE CAN LITERALLY GO AFTER WHITE VOTERS IN ADDITION TO ALL THE OTHER VOTERS. THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT CONCEPT, I’M SORRY YOU ARE HAVING A HARD TIME.

      If you hadn’t realized, EVERY GODDAMN VOTE MATTERS.

      There are segments of the traditional GOP voter that are incredibly sick of Trump and have become persuadable. With outreach tailored to that segment, she may be able to get some of them to vote for her - and even larger segments to at least not vote for him.

        I would agree but based off the last mid terms white voters were more likely to vote conservative. I ask you which makes more sense. Changing conservative voters minds who often go party over country? Or convincing groups who overwhelmingly vote Democrat who often don’t make it to the polls to actually go vote?

          What makes the most sense is ignoring your fallacious false choice.
