Yea your right it's jut a liberal Rachel Maddow putting the country in this point, with her germ spreading and race rioting.
FUCK how could we miss that, because it clearly can't be the fault of the guy in charge, or the reaction of his policies or lack of.
your insight is staggering.

@JoeBiden
: “Unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community"

uh wat

ummm

Joe biden doubled down and repeated his line:



Now, taking a step back from the craziness of Biden doubling down on his statement already being panned by the PC crowd as racist-
what if this is part of a deliberate strategy?

I've been mullling whether Trump's reelection might hinge on his ability to put blacks against latinos in a culture war, what with BLM running rampant after George Floyd. Its a win-win culture war for Trump's election odds- black identity animus will only depress turnout given the anti-establishment attitudes, yet casting black vs brown with black aligned with the democrats leads more hispanics to defect to Trump, who has been going out of his way to court them and pander to them. And the hispanic vote is disproportionately focused in swing states or vulnerable red states, whereas black turnout is more an issue of depressing overall votes across the board.

What if Biden is reacting to this strategy and trying to counter by embracing the race war angle and trying to align himself with hispanics, even if it draws black ire?

I mean, why choose this hill to die on? I can accept Biden being gaffe prone and making a mistake. He goes and licks his wounds and his campaign strategies come up with a damage control plan, and he avoids saying anything risky about that subject again. Normal political stuff. But instead Joe Biden very deliberately came back and doubled down on a line of rhetoric which is basically "I love latinos, unlike blacks, LOL!"

one or two of these things:

(D)s think they have the black American vote for Joe locked up (pun intended) so it doesn’t matter if he goes and says racist things, the goal is to court more latino voters

(D)s don’t care and think it’s a net net gain to tick off some black voters to gain more latino voterz

or it’s just “Joe being Joe”

Here let me take the R response You should understand what he was implying

Why do people point to 2016 polls as if they were not taken before hillary was indicted and the dnc leaks came out turning bernie bros into never hillary voters?

Or the fact that the polls seriously shifted over several months to the point where Trump was within margin of error on election night?

The answer is that conservatives are just generally poor critical thinkers. They don't take it upon themselves to ask "what if I'm wrong" until somebody forces them to.

These numbers mean nothing. :Y

These specific polls they were pointing to were also taken before the Access Hollywood tape broke, which almost killed Trump's campaign.





I think you're looking too hard to find a super deep, complex plan behind plain incompetence.

First, I dont feel as if Trump is going out of his way to pander to latinos - he's talking less about immigration than during his 2016 campaign because he has the white voters who react positively to this message firmly locked up anyway, while stressing this topic would risk alienating college-educated whites/the suburbs even more (as evidenced by how the 2018 campaign went).


Second, Biden does need high black turnout in Pennsylvania, Florida and North Carolina, and might also rely on it in Michigan if the race tightens some more. Look at the map: if Biden lets FL, PA and NC slip, the following is his ONLY realistic path to a majority in the electoral college: https://www.270towin.com/maps/P7k48

If Biden's support with blacks slips, he's in a super precarious position in the electoral college where all of WI, MI, MN (not a given imho if the national race tightens) and Arizona and Nebraska's 2nd district are must wins. The latter two still leaning significantly to the right of the national as a whole. Furthermore, to win back the Senate, Democrats need to knock off Tillis in North Carolina, which is another race where they rely on blacks a lot.

Simply put, your premise is flawed. Biden does in fact depend on black voters in a range of crucial swing states. Things might shift over the coming decade, but for now, it is latinos who are inefficiently distributed in the EC, not blacks.

yeah which is what i said above. either the (D) handlers behind the scenes think the black vote is locked up no matter what or they think the net-gain of adding latino voters at the cost of losing some black voters is beneficial.
