Frankly, it wouldn't be a bad thing if both parties became more racially diverse. Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/07/2024 06:41:46 PM

View original postYou’re right there are many who will no longer vote Blue mostly due to crime and immigration issues. But I do wonder if the Black support for Trump will hold up. Sure Kamala is Indian, Jamaican, or Black depending on her audience. But I wonder if some will vote for her anyway on that basis.

From an outsider perspective - no doubt American Democratic voters and certainly elected politicians see it differently - I've long thought that it's really unhealthy to have such extreme racial disparities in the Democratic and Republican voter base.

It would, of course, be rather sad if it took an execrable leader like Trump to attract more Hispanic and Black voters to the Republican party, but still, the change in itself would be a good thing.

View original postWe will see. I will not say what else could possibly go wrong because this cycle has been insane enough without me adding the mal occhio.

It certainly has been.

For my part, I have no issues with Harris' failure on the border, because I don't care about it. Ghavrel - 24/07/2024 07:28:55 AM 204 Views

We hear remarkably little about Kennedy, given how high he scores in some polls. Legolas - 25/07/2024 05:24:09 PM 194 Views
I think Kennedy's polling is an indicator of polls being broken, honestly. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2024 08:37:25 PM 109 Views
Polls are kind of broken / more prone to error, and we do not know how much error and in what direct Roland00 - 25/07/2024 10:47:41 PM 206 Views
