Maybe democrats should have been talking about black jobs like Trump did. What is a black job anyhow? Is that what all those text messages that went out to black people when Trump was announced the winner of the election we’re about? Head hunters looking for new recruits to work in the exciting new field of… checks notes, uh, picking cotton.

Fuck people are ignorant.

There’s still time for them to hop in the strawberry fields after the deportations, then unionize and strike and demand better wages before Musk gets rid of OSHA and collective bargaining

Most Latinos do not work in the fields. Many of us have been here for several generations. There are many types of Latinos. (Disclaimer: I voted, phonebanked, and canvassed for Kamala.)

I was more trying to say that most of the jobs Trump will create are the absolute shit-ass cash jobs no one wanted to do in the first place, after he does his undocumented mass deportation stuff, and boiled the sentiment down to a colloquialism

To be honest, they were going to be disappointed either way.

Life is disappointment. I still think a sane person on average would rather have a rainy day than someone piss in their Corn Flakes.

What about a bunch of rainy days followed by someone pissing in your Corn Flakes anyway?

Maybe if so many people weren’t content with, and excusing away, constant choices between different types of disappointment, we wouldn’t have ended up where we are now. It is possible for something other than disappointment to exist…

Black voters went from

9 Biden - 1 Trump

to

8 Harris - 2 Trump.

What got Trump elected was white people. This article tries to paint a narrative which does not exist.

If it were up to black and latinos Harris would be president.

Still twice the amount of votes compared to the last election, which leaves me with my mouth open.

It’s like voting for the wolf when you are part of a flock of sheep because the other sheep you could elect instead is not exactly the way you picture the perfect sheep.

So what got Trump elected was the Dems not listening to voters and losing them?

Yep. On the other hand, it seems like people aren’t worried enough about Trump to vote against him. No one loved Biden, but he was better than Trump. People just don’t seem to mind anymore.

What got Trump elected was Democrats kicking out their base to make room for Liz Cheney and refusing to stop a genocide.

I’m not blaming white men for Trump winning. I’m blaming the DNC.

Interesting! I don’t think you’re making it up, but do you have a source for that? I’d like to learn more.

Hi, not comment-op, but… Here’s one of the first set of exit polls to look over: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/exit-polls

Though it’s a little too early for real analysis, since ballots are still being counted. Really the most interesting questions are things like: in tipping-point states (like PA, MI, WI, maybe GA or NC) how did the vote/turnout shift? That sort of analysis takes a bit longer, though, so we’re stuck with clickbait articles like the one posted above.

Thank you for saying this. I noticed in 2008 when Prop 8 was voted on in California that Black people (men in particular) are really the preferred scapegoat when things go wrong. All this despite their negligible numbers. 12 million white women (from 20 million) could vote for something detrimental to society and it’ll be crickets but let 10,000 (from 100,00) Black men vote for the same bad policy and somehow the story will be about the Black men.

This is an example of the so-called subtle bigotry that really isn’t so subtle.

Why is the focus on Black men when fewer than 25% voted for Trump. Meanwhile more than double that percentage of white women voted for Trump. Where is the analysis of their bizarre voting behavior?

Exactly like 2016.

White women gave Trump the Presidency because deep down, they know structural racism benefits them more than any other group besides white men.

They’re trying to group them all together, and that’s not fair for this one. Around 78% of black men voted for Harris, as opposed to the around 44% of Latino men. They’re trying to distract us from the fact that a good portion of this was from white voters by mentioning Latinos anyway. Like, “How did we vote facisim. We didn’t vote for him.” That’s all I see articles for. Where are the articles breaking down why over 50% of white women voted for their own subjugation? They’re so used to black people being the scape goat, they throw us in there even when we had little impact on it.

its a fair point, but 90% of black men voted for Biden. The slide did contribute to loss.

78% of black men who voted. Now, just for funsies, what is the percentage of Black men who chose not to vote, and by acclimation, and I use that word charitably, didn’t vote for Harris thereby giving their missing Harris vote to Trump?

More Latinos voted for Donald Trump than have ever voted for any Republican candidate ever before.

You can spin all you like. Democrats lost every swing state and control of the Senate.

Hint, I bet you a hundred bucks that answer would dwarf whatever bullshit your trying to push.

How exactly do you give a missing vote to Trump? If they didn’t vote then neither candidate got that vote.

A non-vote is exactly the same as voting for the winner.

If you would have voted for the winner, then not voting didn’t matter because your candidate won anyway.

If you would have voted for the loser, then your non-vote reduced the chance for your candidate to win; which mathematically in a FPTP system means it increased the chance for your opponent to win.

Though, it is one way to always be on the winning team. /s
