(6,342 posts)I am surprised that people keep forgetting how many people are not voting. It isn't about the republican white voter, it's about the non-voter, the voter suppression, etc..Those are the votes we are hoping to include. The constant comments about most white women in X voted for x ignores how many did not vote. I am not interested in chasing repub votes. Each state is different. Alabama would have been lost, given all the factors, had 22,000+ people (1.7%), not written in a candidate, in spite of the AA vote turnout. Had the AA vote not been high, or the @3 % of people who voted repub, not voted for DJ, we would have lost. If of the WW who voted, that percentage had not voted for DJ, we would have lost. Then there is the @3 -4% of Asians, Latinos, Muslims etc..who also voted for DJ, without whom we would have lost. And who knows if voter fraud was not an issue. To say the heart of the Democratic party is one race is untrue. Unless we want to keep polarizing Dems. It also negates on a national level, all the work that many groups have done for the Democratic party.
