Now you're putting words in my mouth. Where in this thread did I say it was the ONLY way? I didn't.

Gay people only make up like 4-5% of the population. Everyone else just pretends to accept gay lifestyle to appear progressive but in a voting booth in private they wouldn't have to do that. No way one would ever win.
Sure seems to imply it.

You're literally saying a gay will never win an election because there aren't enough of them to put them in office. How is that reaching?

I didn't "literally" say that.
I said that, even though on the surface people will show support for one, I am skeptical that support would carry over to the voting booth on a national scale. However, a larger special interest group or demo would help offset that like over 90% of all blacks voting for Obama for example. IDC about a local lesbian being mayor here or there.
Guess large city simpletons struggle with reading comp.
ETA: I like how I go from "implying it" to "literally saying it" IYO.

Most of Obama's voters were white.
56% of his vote in 2012 was white in a 72% white group of voters, and he lost the white vote by 20 points.

Can you explain that a little further for me? If 56% of the votes Obama received were cast by white voters, wouldn't that mean the majority of Obama voters were white?

Thanks. I know.

That is correct, and I wasn't saying he was wrong. But that is an abysmal performance with respect to the white vote and is indicative of how crucial the minority vote was for Obama. I actually didn't realize how big the gap was to be honest.
Posted on 3/21/15 at 3:09 pm to Lou Pai
I'm afraid I'm still not getting your point. What part is abysmal? If a candidate gets 56% of the vote from every demographic, he or she walks away with the election. Are you saying that 72% of the total vote is low white voter turnout compared to historical averages?
Posted on 3/21/15 at 3:18 pm to Lou Pai
Alright, I've re-read your post about five times. Either you need to work on your sentence structure skills or I need to improve my reading comprehension.

Fair enough, it was pretty unclear.
56% of his vote was white. But he lost the white vote as a whole roughly 60-40, and the white vote is 72% of the population. The minority vote really helped him a lot, particularly in Ohio and Florida.

It wasn't unclear.
1000 voters. 720 are white. I receive 600 votes, 336 are from white voters (or 56% of my total). This means, however, that 384 white votes went to my opponent. Therefore, overall, I lost the white vote.
