Out-of-touch progressives are driving nonwhite voters out of the Dem Party

By Ruy Teixeira
August 7, 2023

The latest New York Times/Siena College poll has made an impact and underscored the Democrats’ vulnerabilities on many fronts.

The poll found former President Donald Trump and President Biden tied in a 2024 trial heat 43%-43%, with 16% saying they are undecided, would vote for another candidate or would not vote at all.

There are many striking demographic patterns in this result but one of the most striking has been little talked about: Biden’s weakness among nonwhite working-class (noncollege-educated) voters.

Biden leads Trump by a mere 16 points among this demographic. This compares to his lead over Trump of 48 points in 2020. And even that lead was a big drop-off from former President Barack Obama’s 67-point advantage in 2012.

This evolving weakness among nonwhite working-class voters is a direct threat to the massive margins Democrats need to maintain among nonwhite voters to achieve victory.

Forget the urban black vote. That’s 90 some percentile Democrat. And they keep voting for their own destruction.

Hispanics and Americans of Asian dissent are were Republican candidates can make inroads to

Dems have contempt for non-college educated whites.

It's more difficult to win elections when your party has contempt for voters.

Republicans really need to allow for reasonable exceptions to abortion bans, otherwise, people will continue to be afraid that the GOP Plan is to make the Handmaid's Tale into reality.

You're absolutely right.
And... it's NOT gonna happen.

We see articles like this again and again and again and again and again (getting tired yet?) each election cycle.

And then... it never happens.

Yet there are still fools -- including some in this forum -- who eat it up.
