It’s not a secret that a lot of the uneducated are Republicans.
Definitely. But that’s not the point of the article.
From what I can tell, this is the point:
In the New York Times/Siena poll released last week, Biden failed to win majority support from non-white voters who hadn’t graduated from college.
– His lead over Trump with this once-heavily Democratic constituency is just 16 points (49%–33%).
– In 2020, Biden dominated Trump with these voters, winning by an overwhelming 48-point margin, according to an analysis by the Democratic data firm Catalist.
– Obama won non-white working-class voters by a whopping 67-point margin in 2012.
People are downvoting this story because they don’t want to hear the reality. And ignoring that reality only makes things worse.
This is how you get Trump 2.0.
So face the truth, or be prepared for Donald to destroy American democracy.
Democrats have been alienating regular white working-class folks for years now. They love to be race baited on issues and almost without fail, have had a pro-Black stance on far too many issues as if Black’s are the only ones hurting these days. Concentrate on economic class, instead of race. Or else you will be dividing the country more than unifing it. A black coal miner in Appalachia is no better or no worse off than his white coal mining neighbor, and yet the left and many centrists are fine with bullshit race-based programs instead of ones that eliminate race from the discussion altogether and simply look at need.
This story is also tied in with other recent news on how young white males are joining right wing groups at alarming rates. This is a very real problem that should scare people enough to reevaluate some of the policies thag are creating this problem. You can’t continue to use white males as all of society’s and constantly oush them away ans think there won’t be a blowback from that.
Non-white, non-college grads, isn’t going to be enough to move the needle.
Look at 2020… Biden rode high in the primaries… on winning South Carolina?
Yeah, how did that work out in the general election?
Trump - 55.11% - 1,385,103
Biden - 43.43% - 1,091,541If these non-white, non-college grads are in red states, or blue states, they won’t matter.
They might matter in a narrow handful of swing states.
