In reply to the discussion: Poll: A fifth of Black voters want 'someone else' instead of Trump or Biden [View all]JohnSJ
(94,956 posts)33. Well that isn't going to happen, so what are you going to do? As for that 1 in 5 African Americans
going to vote for trump, I don't give a damn how "respected" GenForward is, 20% of African Americans are NOT going to vote for trump.
That makes this pollster in my book suspect.
They may not vote for Biden, but they sure as hell are not going to vote for a racist, sexist, and bigot.
Why in the f**k would they do that?

If they don't want Trump or Biden but both are on the ballot what will they do?

1) A poll like this means little at this time. 2) The article has a clickbait headline

Exactly. Typical Politico spin. Mountains out of molehills for clickbait purposes.

Agreed. If Trump wins 17% of the Black vote in 2024, he'll easily win the election.

We need ranked choice voting, then the 3rd party challengers wouldn't be so devastating
