That's a funny thing to read on a board where "libtard" and "prog filth" and "liberalism is a mental disease" are thrown around every day.

Why in your view do other minorities such as asians also vote primarily for Democrats? Perhaps there is something in the rhetoric from the right that has a tendency to turn off minorities.
Oh for frick's sake. Comparing Asian voting patterns to black voting patterns is embarrassing yourself.

The point is until she lost she was “the most qualified candidate ever”.
The point is how will the democrats lie about their next candidate.
Take you dismissal of her as a bad candidate and shove it up your arse.

Right, and justice to leftists is nothing but pandering to select groups for the vote

Tradition/lack of due diligence. The latter is not a problem solely for minorities, either.

The rhetoric from the right tends to favor individual accountability. The rhetoric from the left tends to gravitate towards self-identifying as a victim via identity politics. Which is more empowering? Which is more patronizing? If we're honest, most blacks and latinos in particular tend to hold more traditionally conservative values, but the tradition of voting at odds with that is so pervasive that even the suggestion is deemed an affront in most minority circles. shite is far more toxic than anything coming from the modern mainstream right, and you know it.

That terminology is silly, which is why I try to refrain from using it.
Leftism tends to be dumb enough on its own without me having to sound dumb to draw attention to it

Blacks haven fallen below the Asian point on THIS election precisely 4 times since 1934.
And then, when a Democrat President.........not even his party........passed the CRA, blacks climbed back on the plantation for good.
And while you're typing about how you can't vote Repub because of our supposedly bad elements. Just contemplate that during the height of fricking the Racist democrat South.......blacks were STILL voting at a 70-75% clip for Democrats.
There's more electoral diversity at a Pro-Life rally.

As Michael Kinsley - one of my favorite liberal commentators - once explained, "a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth – some obvious truth he isn't supposed to say." Hillary says nasty things about great swaths of our populace because she believes those things to be true.

Yup.
Dev is correct that the rhetoric drives it. Just not about what rhetoric.
But, that's beside the point. Every other voting block votes like the people within it possess brains.
One, does not.

quote:Last I checked there isn't a single racial demographic that splits right down the middle. Blacks voting against Republicans is due to the perception that the right has some issues with racism...particularly on the fringes. Given the reality of race relations (no equal rights under the law until the 60s, still unequal treatment for similar crimes) black folks still tend to band together...a particularly useful trait when you make up such a small percentage of the population. If black folks at large were split between conservatives and dems their vote would actually be fairly meaningless statistically. They punch above their weight in terms of influence compared to vote % largely due to their solidarity. It isn't surprising that this irks conservatives.

70+ % of asians voted against Trump. Why are you picking on latinos and blacks and ignoring asians? It is easier to twist the rationale when you leave asians out is why...

You resent black folks for voting against Republicans. I get it.
Ignoring 70% of asians voting together against Trump pretty much says that you can't make a real argument.

LOL. As you dodge the graph.
By the way. I did answer it in another post.
You are correct. It's driven by the rhetoric of the parties. Alas, just not the rhetoric you think.
I mean. Unless you think that the blacks in the 30s were soooooo pro-Dem because of the Republican racism problem.

OMG you have the gall to call out liberal posters when your friend Capt.Bengal and many others call us 'prog filth' every day. loll

I will say that 60-70 years ago, it made a hell of a lot more sense for the black demographic in particular to vote in virtual lockstep. That is no longer the case.
In the grand scheme of things, 60-70 years isn't that long (which, by the way, is a golden freaking testament to the 180 the USA has done on race relations in a short period of time), so perhaps the sociopolitical landscape changed/improved more rapidly than tradition could be uprooted. Still, however, the vigor with which minorities (blacks in particular) self-police our own with regard to suffrage at the behest of one political party is alarming. It'd be alarming if we all voted GOP, too. The fact that our votes do not vary by socioeconomic status or personal values shows an acute disingenuousness.
