many most.
Trump won essentially every white demographic; without voters of colour, he would’ve won in a landslide rather than a squeaker.
OTOH, “white voters” is not the same thing as “white people”. And white people aren’t the only voice that matters, anyway.
This is not news, this is BAD STATISTICS. Please be a good media consumer. While I would like to believe this and it might still be true, this data does not at all say what Reason or BoingBoing says it does. The article compares exit-polling data to a survey of all registered voters and all women. Are these comparable groups? No!
It is a well-documented fact that older people, homeowners and more conservative people of all genders are more likely to vote. That is why get-out-the-vote is so key to progressives and “voter fraud” (vote suppression) is an issue championed by conservative activists.
This is basic media literacy. Get it right.
And along with their vote for white supremacy, they also voted away healthcare, the social safety net, higher education, science, the environment, renewable energy sources, net neutrality, consumer and labor safety, living wages, retirement, etc…
Sometimes the leopard can change its spots. Too bad trump’s much closer to an orangutan with heavy brain damage.
I can agree with Ann Coulter up to a point; scrawny white women named Ann Coulter should not be allowed to vote.
On further consideration, I believe the most viable candidate for the Democrats to put forward would be George Clooney.
You really think Men In Black was a comedy and not a documentary…
That’d be based on just subgroups of existing voters, yes? So it doesn’t include disenfranchised felons and otherwise suppressed non-voters?
The divide would be even more stark if it did.
Also don’t forget the sexism.
Here’s a bit of research someone should do… Ann Coulter claims that her family weren’t immigrants, they were “settlers.” Now, I know that a lot of homesteaders “settled” on land that had been previously cleared of pesky indigenes by the US Army. Does anyone know if AC’s people’s “settling” depended on Federal largesse?
It’s not really that weird. White women’s interests don’t deviate that much from white men. They both want to know that there is a class of people kept socially below them, so that no matter how bad things get, at least they’re above someone else. They both have fears of browns. They both want men to be big and strong and control things. They both want to punish bad girls and coddle bad boys. They both go to the same church. That there is a growing deviation now, if this is the correct interpretation of the data, is remarkable and, in my view, unexpected.
That’s right. Because if you can’t afford a thing, you don’t deserve a thing. The very idea of “citizenship” offends many white voters.
Historically, the Suffragettes were not 100% on board with giving women the right to vote. There was concern that some women might get into the voting booth and suddenly turn into Ann Coulter.
Libertarianism in a nutshell, really.
Me neither. Let’s hope this year’s election results prove us wrong.
Came looking for this!
Obligatory:
Also:
And they picked the least qualified one of the entire lot because his misogyny and white supremacy won over the Republican base.
Yeah, I get it. Sour grapes. Year old, repetitious, sour grapes. yawn.
Anyway, I was addressing the point, which was about diversity. When you
haven’t got a response, begin to criticize a different point. Hopping from
one point to another to keep ahead of having nothing other than taking a
giant brush and labeling everyone whose political views you don’t agree
with as being due to some kind in-vogue liberal “ISM” (which are all the
rage these days), signalling your own virtue and while separating THOSE
people as bad and deplorable. Pat yourself on the back.
