Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

30% seems high (maybe that's just me considering I know exactly zero Black men who are planning on voting for Trump but I also talk to zero Black men who live in rural areas so that could be part of it). The 22% figure quoted later in the article seems more in line with what I've read elsewhere.

The problem for democrats isn’t people switching to Trump, it is people who choose not to vote at all.

It's not just black voters. Youth voters, hispanics, Asians, he's down in all the demographics and needs to gain ground fast.

I know one way he could do that.

Cut bibi's water off, financially speaking, and save some Palestinian kids.

And then he loses the "moderate" vote.

And AIPAC money. You know that's the primary reason.

Which makes all the centrists bleating "Not voting for Biden shows your privilege" sound even more like idiots

They must have seen that AI photo with Trump and that group of black people and thought, “well that changes things!”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need more AI photos of Biden and black people right away!!!!!!!!

Is the record not correct?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

In that case black voters might be in for a nasty case of "fuck around and find out".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

'You’ve got more questions?' Biden replied. 'Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.'

Wonder why this strategy isn't working

This is the best summary I could come up with:


President Biden’s support amount Black voters in seven swing states has dipped when compared to the last election cycle, a recent survey found.

The outlet noted that while there was no swing state polling it conducted in 2020, the AP VoteCast poll found 87 percent of Black men nationwide backed Biden in 2020 and 12 percent of Black men nationwide supported Trump in the last election.

The Wall Street Journal poll was conducted among 218 to 354 registered voters in each state from March 17-24 with margins of error ranging from 5.2 to 6.6 percentage points.

Biden’s campaign has stepped up its efforts to reach voters of color in recent weeks.

Black voters had overwhelmingly supported Biden in 2020 with 92 percent casting ballots for him, according to an analysis from Pew Research Center.

His campaign launched ads speaking directly to Black voters in battleground states last month to argue another Trump term would be a “disaster” for the demographic.
