Donald Trump held multiple events to court Black voters, and not one of them paid off.
A survey of 600 likely general election voters in Michigan, released late Thursday by WDIV Local 4/Detroit News, found that zero African American respondents said that they supported Trump, while 82.1 percent said they supported Vice President Kamala Harris.
Kamala ended up being a better choice than I could have imagined. Republicans can't help themselves when you have a black candidate and a woman. They are now being the racist and xenophobic bigots we knew they would and they'll lose the black vote and women votes. The two categories that I think made up the majority of swing voters this election cycle. Let's hope Kamala doesn't mess up her VP pick.
The media couldn't call him anti-Semitic as easily, could they?
Narrator Voice: They could.
Seriously though, it's not like the idiots listening to the nonsense have any logic behind the garbage they parrot, so it wouldn't surprise me.
I think he'd make an excellent pick for VP, though I'd also say so would many of the options on the apparent short list. I guess we will find out soon who the official pick is.
The rollout has been masterful. I was a severe doubter due to her 2020 campaign, but I’m entirely on board now. I’m almost allowing myself the slightest bit of hope, which I haven’t really had since two days before the 2016 election.
Don't get complacent. I've been saying for over a year now that polls are fucking broken due to the difficulty of actually conducting them. It's why Democrats have been over-performing versus polls since 2017. But... We have no way of knowing until after the election whether they're still broken, or still broken in the same way.
Pretend there's a genuine risk that Trump will win if you get complacent, and behave accordingly.
I think there’s a risk even if we are not complacent. Too many states come down to a handful of votes each time and the ones with red state legislatures are stacking the deck.
Trump is still ahead in the polls. It's not just a matter of not getting complacent - this is still a race that will take serious work for Democrats to win. We all need to vote, volunteer if possible, and work to secure a Kamala victory.
What, you mean getting offended at being asked why black voters should vote for him didn't win them over? Did they not hear him when he said he was the best President for black voters since Abraham Lincoln, and then did not elaborate?
yeah, those historically black colleges that he never names and is the only thing he ever points out.
holy shit that's literally his token "i did a good thing for black people" card. that's his black friend that makes him not racist. "you can't call me racist, i gave money to a black person once." he probably pushed that through just to be this card that he plays with they call him racist.
Were these black voters even black though? Or did they turn black? People are saying that can happen... Big, strong men are saying it... motorcycle men, with tears in their eyes even...
Unfortunately if this is the poll from last week there were only 100 black people included, so it is very small for the subgroup. However neither this article nor the link they left have the full breakdown, this is just from memory
