White people. This starts & ends with white people. Every GOP president is worse than the one who came before & they continue to vote for them. 70% of men, 50-55% of women every four years. This is what they want. - ThreadSky

I have pointed out the anti-Biden left shot itself in the foot. They did. However, it's worth noting data isn't definitive on this front but 40-60% of Arab voters went for Harris. She lost support there and it hurt a lot, but the Biden administration policies were also clearly part of that impact.

Almost like democrats should run a better candidate not drowning in the blood of Palestinian children.

We have the most explicitly pro-segregation federal government in generations and Trump's approval remains sticky at 47-49%. You can't fight facts.

Are Arab people not white?

boxdp.bsky.social•25 days ago

Agreed. To the point that they contorted their religion and supposed social causes like protecting children into a framework that gives them cover to vote like they do. Source: am white guy who talks to white people frequently. It's fucking infuriating.

White people making the wrong choices and white people assuming all non-white (non-men) are a unified line of defense who can be taken for granted, allowing the white men to do nothing of importance

And I for one believe they should get it! 😌

Things always come down to "why didn't group X save white people from themselves"

chrispmueller.bsky.social•25 days ago

We have to admit it, the problem is white men.

michfisher.bsky.social•25 days ago

Exactly. If white people weren’t completely mired in racism, sexism, and greedy bigoted ignorance, we wouldn’t have to sweat Democrats not pulling massive majorities from everyone else every election.

It’s telling that the people who play the “Blame Biden and his Gaza policy for all of *this*” seem to be universally white.

davekornfield.bsky.social•25 days ago

You’re Canadian. What on earth would you know about it?

I don’t think Dems get how *attractive* caste systems are to the upper-caste. As LBJ said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

domo151.bsky.social•25 days ago

Dem leadership steadfastly refuses to counteract racist signaling aside from finger-wagging. Call it what it is. And you have got to use both the carrot and the stick, not just schoolhouse shaming.

domo151.bsky.social•25 days ago

The thing you are fighting against is a message that lots of people want to believe: that they are special, and that the frustrating things in their lives are the fault of someone else. It’s BS, but it’s an easy sell.

Yes! Exactly

Then the name of the game is getting enough white people to vote D and maintain the margins amongst non-White voters. There are white voters who passionately *do not* want this, and all of us belong to other slices of the demographic pie (college, urban, etc.) that don't reliably vote Republican.

trixienorton.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes, union votes and college educated women. Dems have a base of White voters. But it's not large enough to counter what's coming out of churches - White nationalism.

elmcitytree.bsky.social•25 days ago

For 40 years every time GOP has a majority they make things harder on unions and cut from education. Every time Dems have a majority they pretend the evangelical church is not a huge blight and ignore it. Refusing to confront your enemies is how we got here

elmcitytree.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes! But every cycle we focus on other groups instead!!

fattom23.bsky.social•25 days ago

I think it's reasonable to be frustrated about that. I think we're entering a season where ethnic/racial groupings are going to become a lot less predictive of voting behaviors than educational/locational ones. I don't know that there's a way to reach "white people" as a group.
