Why have black folks always voted Democrat?

[row_33]

i don't for a second doubt that demographics play out that way

 

but it's not a constituency that is seen as worthwhile to pursue, at the end of the day

 

exit polls showed that senior citizens in 2000 attacked by pollsters with an agenda got scared and couldn't remember who they actually voted for, maybe they DID vote for Ralph?  can i have a nap now?

 

polls are as reliable as McNamara and Westmoreland's stats showing Nam would be out of North fighters by Christmas 1966 at this rate.... even less credibility

The 'nam war would've been won very early if the US had a patriotic President who wanted to win it.  We did not have such a President.  We had a traitor in the WH who wanted the 'nam war to go on forever... while he took the new weapons out of our factories and shipped them off to Israel free of charge, leaving our troops in 'nam with outdated weapons that failed frequently....

McNamara had a spread sheet, he was a genius!!

 

oh ho ho ho ho what a fun time by all.

 

 

 

now we have people convinced that a spreadsheet and their little stats will help win the World Series, and act like the worst a-holes on the planet if you even question them

how can they quantify that in a clinical scientific way?

 

they were behind the curtain and counted every vote?

 

it's all based on fools who tell them how they voted, and it's biased against the GOP in question asked and the people chosen to be asked

I thought you meant current polls.  Not exit polls.  You're correct.  Maybe black people have secretly been voting conservative this whole time.

[LaDexter]

Exit polls do tend to be biased against the GOP simply because Dem voters are much more likely to loudly tell someone they don't know who they voted for after they voted.

 

In 2004, the exit polls were cited for early claims of a Kerry win....

[row_33]

You weren't a traitor to your people by voting for the Republican Party, right??????????????????????

 

COuld you say "yes" louder, the gun-toting mob couldn't hear you.....

What I learned from liberals this week:

The definition of racism is Laura Ingraham discussing demographic changes in this country.

It is NOT a mob of white people assembling outside of a diner to kick a black woman out while shouting "race traitors" to an all-black police force.

 

 

 

 

 

.?

[LaDexter]

NO NO NO

 

I voted for the Party of Slavery and Segregation, so I've proven my "blackness."

what kind of person would tell a pollster how they voted?

 

 

 

if I ever get questioned for an exit poll i will say the opposite of everything I voted for.

[LaDexter]

It is true that the only time a Democrat tells the truth is.... right after they voted for the Democrats....

[row_33]

One of the polls contacted me for regular info in the 1990s, I told them I would 100% be voting in each election and probably always for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario or Canada

 

they told me I wasn't quite what they had in mind

 

yeah, i thought it would be that way.... 

polls and interviewers are constantly hammered for faking info, nothing new there.

 

they are selling their info to the government and businesses, which makes it really bad to be making it up on the spot.

We did lose Vietnam due to weapons shortages, though the early M16’s were infamous for failure — I myself enjoy the platform and have never had trouble with it. We lost Vietnam for getting sucked into a defensive war, and the NVA used a mixture of Fabian / guerrilla warfare. That and we had a lot of liberals and cowards, like Donald Trump, who didn’t want to pull their weight. 

 

The war could have ended with an invasion of the North. Or we could have used Eisenhower’s strategy of creating a nuclear dead zone to cut off the NVA. There were numerous options. 

 

The American fighting man did NOT lose that war. The American fighting man killed over a half million of ‘em to less than 60,000 US killed. The Romans lost more at Cannae in one afternoon and won the war it was in. They wanted it. They had the martial spirit.

 

The American fighting man had the drive and the spirit to win ‘Nam. The nation however greatly failed the American fighting man.

The M-16 was not ideally suited for the conditions in Vietnam. Not only were the moist conditions bad for it but the very ammunition used was designed to tumble when it hit a target. That ammunition could not discern a person's elbow from a twig on a tree.

The M16 was the first gun I ever shot. I never had an issue. An iraq, my M4 never had an issue. In the snow in Kentucky — no issue. In Louisiana — no issue. 

 

But yeah, I’ve heard the Nam ones were awful. It’s a theme of Nam books. I guess the early models had some serious kinks.

Not chroming the barrels/chambers and using substandard ammo were big problems.

 

My dad refused to carry one in Viet Nam. He carried a sawed off shotgun as his primary weapon. Apparently the VC did not like buck shot.

I’ve always attributed Blacks’ traditionally democratic affiliation as a rejection of Goldwater who was one of the few mainstream national politicians opposed to the Civil Rights Act. He took a shitton of southern democrats along with him. Democrats who, through an electoral and philosophical shift, are now all Republicans. 

 

A lot of that shift and history accounts for the oft repeated, but patently untrue, notion that Republicans are racist. 

 

So over time things like Republicans not courting minority votes, and some of the **** Reagan did or didn’t do (opposition to Civil Rights and Voting Rights act and support of apartheid South Africa), and of course Hw and the Willie Horton infamy, and little **** like that, blacks have just grown incrementally and generationally distrustful of Republicans. 

 

It also helps that Jimmy Carter was considered a champion to black folks especially. And he was a political caretaker between Nixon, Ford, and then Reagan. 

 

I interviewed jc watt more than a decade ago for something I was writing for a program that I didn’t finish. He talked openly with me about how his party was way too exclusionary and that blacks had to somehow be able to fight through that political “cold shoulder” to somehow be able to see the natural policy alignment between conservativism and the black community. He said “we both know that ain’t happenin.” 

 

True story.
