15. Not quite. Liberals of all colors are our largest voting bloc by FAR.

Should be pointed out because ideological breakdown is huge. Both of the house's two large main ideological caucuses are liberal. Only 25 of 235 members are conservative blue dogs. And members so far left that they're antipathetic to liberal Democratic ideals and dominance can probably be counted on one hand.

But even by racial/ethnic breakdown rather than ideological, @75% of all Democrats are white. But most AA, 13.3% of all Americans, unite in the liberal party of equality to maximize their power, which means most black conservatives who vote, not just black liberals, vote Democrat. And thanks be given -- to them all -- for that!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
