Highlight:

Survey: Fewer black women say that the Democratic Party 'best represents' their interests [View all] ehrnst Sep 2017 OP

I could have told ya that! JustAnotherGen Sep 2017 #1

Yeah, no kidding!! It doesn't help, all this talk by Sen. Schumer and others... InAbLuEsTaTe Sep 2017 #81

The white male left is driving that push to the right. ehrnst Sep 2017 #89

Another bogus survey. Why even post such crap. brush Sep 2017 #2

Why do you say it's "bogus?" (nt) ehrnst Sep 2017 #3

It says right in the Op that the results are not representative of Black women across the country. brush Sep 2017 #4

That statement is precisely what gives it credibility. ehrnst Sep 2017 #6

You think that statement makes it credible? brush Sep 2017 #7

Apparently you didn't bother to read the article at the link before refuting what's not even in it. ehrnst Sep 2017 #8

A higher percentage? What percentage is it? .00000000001%? Come on. It's not worthy of DU. brush Sep 2017 #9

So you're not going to own that you didn't even read it before firing off a rant. ehrnst Sep 2017 #10

I own I read what you posted. There's a paywall. brush Sep 2017 #13

This is the part you should highlight. brush Sep 2017 #15

Can be divisive and used as a repug talking point (Black women unhappy with Dems). brush Sep 2017 #21

How would you even know if you didn't read it? ehrnst Sep 2017 #25

What's the higher percentage then? I ask again, is it even measurable? brush Sep 2017 #27

You have no idea what you are talking about ehrnst Sep 2017 #29

Do you really think the premise of the survey is accurate? brush Sep 2017 #30

Do you even know that the premise of the survey is? ehrnst Sep 2017 #31

If the higher percentage, as claimed, is not measurable, what's the point? brush Sep 2017 #32

Your question makes no sense in relation to the article that you have not read. ehrnst Sep 2017 #33

You keep avoiding answering that question. brush Sep 2017 #34

Tell me who said that they were. ehrnst Sep 2017 #36

Didn't your excerpt say that a higher percentage of AA women were not happy? brush Sep 2017 #39

Nice try. Tell me where it said they were leaving the party. ehrnst Sep 2017 #42

Still waiting for the answer to where I said "AA women are going to leave the party." ehrnst Sep 2017 #79

I said "AA women are not about to leave the Democratic Party." brush Sep 2017 #83

Nice try, honey. You need to get it straight. ehrnst Sep 2017 #84

Is there a comprehension problem? I said AA women aren't leaving the party. brush Sep 2017 #111

Self-selected survey participants equals bad results that are not meaningful elehhhhna Sep 2017 #62

I agree that the survey is not meaningful and that the small sample size makes the results... brush Sep 2017 #64

You insisted it said that AA women were "leaving the Party." ehrnst Sep 2017 #68

Give it a rest. You see I'm not the only one who thinks it's not meaningful. brush Sep 2017 #70

I'm not the one on this thread buying Strawmen by the dozen, and didn't even read the article. ehrnst Sep 2017 #71

Embarrassed? By a meaningless survey, hardly. brush Sep 2017 #75

Gonna stonewall that you had no clue what was in that survey when you fired off rants about it. ehrnst Sep 2017 #76

Don't have to. Your excerpt was enough to show that the survey claimed an unmeasurable percentage. brush Sep 2017 #77

Nope. You claimed it said that AA women were leaving the party. ehrnst Sep 2017 #82

They are claiming that this shift is "leftward." ehrnst Sep 2017 #69

The article addresses that. ehrnst Sep 2017 #72

While this isn't a scientific poll, the point it makes is one the party can't afford to ignore. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2017 #5

Non scientific poll means it's pointless. n/t kcr Sep 2017 #96
