Yeah I guess when your message is “Illegal immigrants are streaming across the border and doing crimes” - it gives room for the immigrants who aren’t doing crimes to think you’re not talking about them. Meanwhile some terrified person in Nebraska just hears “all the illegal immigrants are committing crimes”.

I’m sure hating on a group of people who had no choice but to be born in an 18 year age range will cultivate some votes.

Black and Hispanic voters have always been the most religious part of the Democratic coalition and poll far to the right of white democrats on issues like abortion and trans rights. So the takeaway from that tweet would probably ask if running a campaign singularly focused on the issue of abortion could have possibly alienated the minority/religious part of the Democratic base. I have no way to know if it did or not but it would explain why we did better with women this go around and worse with black/hispanic voters.

That’s all possible.
I heard one analyst suggest that abortion laws being on the ballot in states had some element where it backfired. There are women who would have voted against Trump even though they supported him on most things because of abortion, but they didn’t because they didn’t have to now that there is or is going to be a state law protecting abortion rights.

Jefferies needs to resign and we need a new Democratic leader that will just troll the fucking shit out of Republicans. They should start by demanding a balanced budget since Republicans have shut down the government twenty times crying about it and now have full control over all three branches again.
Lets see what actual Republican policy looks and feels like for four years.

Basically the opposite of my mom. Hates Trump, voted for him in 2016 I think because of abortion. But once he got SCOTUS locked up, I think she stopped voting for him.

Ah, the good ol’ “fuck you, got mine”. The foundation of conservative politics.
If both protecting abortion rights and deporting a lot of people are important to you, you have to figure out how to balance things.
Yeah, and for conservatives the technique often involves a healthy dose of “fuck you, got mine”
Has there ever been anything even remotely close to the Latino male vote swing from +23 Biden to +12 Trump
It seems like the big issue for them has to be illegal immigration. I guess they feel like new arrivals are making them look bad? I don’t see any other way to explain it. That is the single defining issue in this election compared to others.
What were the latino men numbers for Hillary?
Clinton +31
Biden +23
Trump +12
I voted for Trump.
I’ll keep an eye out for those leopards. 
Please stop polluting this thread with nuance. Thanking you in advance. 
Its a tough choice about what I woult like to see happening going forward. Since about 15 mil dem voters stayed home I want that Trump does all his bad shit short of becoming a dictator so that they learn a lesson otherwise those people think that it wasnt so bad. Something like me making a fold when a call is mathematically correct and being happy once I see that turn and river would have bricked for me because then I will continue to make bad decisions. Now that our chancellor basically opted for early elections I am heading for a perfect storm of inhuman policies that only serve the rich people and the polticians that do their bidding.

Virtually no politician cares about a balanced-budget anymore, in either party.
Fyp.
