In reply to the discussion: Since we no longer care about doing the right thing, let's talk about math and black women [View all]theboss
(10,491 posts)I don't mean to take the humanity out of this, but I operate under a theory that the three most important Democratic voting blocs are:
1. Black women
2. Black men
3. Single white women
This gets really cold, but with the first two blocs, I'm not yet worried with "losing their vote," which would be a disaster. I'm far more worried with turnout. When black voters turn out, Democrats win in the places they need to win.
In order to turn out that vote, we need to not only excite our voters but pay back our voters.
If there is anything to learn from Trump, it's that voters will make cynical deals. He is giving Evangelicals their entire wish list, which is something that an actual Evangelical like W never did. Voters want their needs met ultimately.
Single white women could turn, particularly as they become married white women.
By the way, this is nationally. I'm in Texas where you literally have to break down voters in 15 categories in order to figure out a path for Democratic victory.
