Black voters continue to be loyal to Democrats, but there are signs that support continues to erode.
A good chunk of Black Americans are conservative Christian and would absolutely be Republican if it wasn’t for the overt racism. Same with Latinos.
Some of the people all of the time.
A Fox News poll earlier this month found Biden leading Trump in a hypothetical rematch among Black voters by a roughly three-to-one margin, 74 percent to 26 percent. That may seem high, but it’s down sharply from 2020, when Biden won 90 percent of Black voters, according to Democratic data firm Catalist.
Pretty stupid of that 16% to flip and support the greater evil. Republicans are trying to outlaw teaching that racism still exists, they are putting in their textbooks that slavery, “taught slaves many valuable skills,” and are constantly implementing racist policies and campaigning with racist dog whistles. Democrats are the only viable way to defeat them, at least until we can implement RCV.
Well depending on how they count was there a flip or are the ratios different since certain amount of people have moved to the “not likely voter” category. So instead of flip, there is apathy among democratic voters.
Since they say among black voters, not among black population. Those are two different things and it matters which is it. All voting eligible persons, regardless of likelihood to vote, or just likely voters.
Since voter/not voter is not a fixed grouping, there is constant movement over that line.

You thinking they’re stupid doesn’t make them so. Your attitude has been the general attitude of the Democratic party. That being, “The other party doesn’t like you so vote for us you idiots.” That’s a pretty awful way to keep people wanting to vote for your party.
Like it or not that’s how things work with first-past-the-post general elections. If one does not vote for the most viable opponent they are supporting the greater evil. Staying home or voting third party helps Republicans, who are explicitly racist by word and deed.
There’s also the fact that the Democratic party assumes the only think black people care about is their blackness. Because of this, they ignore the fact that a huge part of the black population has values that more closely align with the Republican party. The Democratic Party has taken this voting bloc for granted for years thinking that calling the Republican party racist will be enough and they can then ignore all the other things they care about.
That’s like suggesting Jews should support Hitler because they like his economic policy. Hogwash. Republicans certainly care about blackness. They are openly promoting white nationalist ideology like the great replacement theory, and they have been the party of racism a very long time. Study after study shows Trump was elected because he exploited racial anxieties, and you think black voters will overlook this because of… values?
Specifically, what issues are you claiming are important to black voters that are not being addressed by Democrats? I’m curious what platforms you think are more important than not having their rights revoked and their history erased.
God I hate that we have this two party system

It’s created by first-past-the-post, I believe most of our national problems would be immediately solved by RCV. It encourages politicians to work together, makes third parties viable, and would provide much needed competition on both the right and left.
There is very clearly a party that wants your children to be ground up in a meat processing plant. The both sidesing on lemmy is goofy.
What? Is this a joke?
