Obviously, the Black vote will go heavily Democrat. This is not the reason for this post, despite what replies will say.

What will be most interesting is turnout. Black Democrats, especially in the South, tend to be moderate to conservative on social issues. (Some of the Black people I work with make MAGA look progressive.) You see report after report on how the Black voters are not sold on these far Left progressive candidates.

How fired up will they be to vote for DSA-style candidates, especially white candidates? I think turnout in Black precincts with a white progressive candidate, especially in a mid-term election, will be quite low.

You have to remember that that hypothetical race isn't the only one on the ballot. Lots of local/state elections are on the ballot as well, along with federal races without that hypothetical progressive. So I don't think it will affect turnout.

The question is how many will vote DEM for every candidate except that hypothetical

The democrats abandoned them in favor of foreigners and gays like 20 years ago and now they’re running the foreigners and gays for office



You can tell Louisiana is 20 years behind because they’re running a black guy here

They’ll vote 90% Democrat like they do every election
