Black voters continue to be loyal to Democrats, but there are signs that support continues to erode.

    A Fox News poll earlier this month found Biden leading Trump in a hypothetical rematch among Black voters by a roughly three-to-one margin, 74 percent to 26 percent. That may seem high, but it’s down sharply from 2020, when Biden won 90 percent of Black voters, according to Democratic data firm Catalist.

    Pretty stupid of that 16% to flip and support the greater evil. Republicans are trying to outlaw teaching that racism still exists, they are putting in their textbooks that slavery, “taught slaves many valuable skills,” and are constantly implementing racist policies and campaigning with racist dog whistles. Democrats are the only viable way to defeat them, at least until we can implement RCV.

      Well depending on how they count was there a flip or are the ratios different since certain amount of people have moved to the “not likely voter” category. So instead of flip, there is apathy among democratic voters.

      Since they say among black voters, not among black population. Those are two different things and it matters which is it. All voting eligible persons, regardless of likelihood to vote, or just likely voters.

      Since voter/not voter is not a fixed grouping, there is constant movement over that line.

    A good chunk of Black Americans are conservative Christian and would absolutely be Republican if it wasn’t for the overt racism. Same with Latinos.

      There is very clearly a party that wants your children to be ground up in a meat processing plant. The both sidesing on lemmy is goofy.

      God I hate that we have this two party system

      It’s created by first-past-the-post, I believe most of our national problems would be immediately solved by RCV. It encourages politicians to work together, makes third parties viable, and would provide much needed competition on both the right and left.
