That's just sad, since one party would literally cut the thing keeping you alive and one expanded it, and you can't see the difference.

So as for some of the most reliable Democrat votes, black women, do you feel they're stupid, or suckers?

You say your idea makes sense. Why does a major voting block of the party, that presumably the Dems do not care about, keep voting for them?

What sick own? It's not even clever. The is the most basic poo poo ever.

The point was that you got people claiming to not judge people. People claiming the only smart move is their way, and that blaming voters is bad.

So I asked you guys to explain why a core voting block of the party votes for Dems and to answer that you either need to blame voters, or imply they're confused, ignorant, or stupid.

It doesn't matter if you avoid any response because you end up saying stupid poo poo like "I don't judge people" when you've spent pages doing exactly that or "I don't proselytize" after doing exactly that.

Obviously, people think the dem base is stupid or gullible. It feels good to feel smarter. That doesn't mean it's true.

I think some people in this thread are idiots, but not because they disagree with me. Rather, HOW they disagree with me.

People said dont blame the voters, and then you asked them to explain why a core voting bloc votes that way, and the only logical options are to blame voters or to... blame... voters.......?

That's because this:

My job is to vote for the least work option in close elections, because one of those 2 is going to win, because that's how politics works right now in the US. I don't like it, but that doesn't change that.

Is demonstrably false.

Jaxyon posted:

It means you've checked out and they don't have to pursue your vote.

They care about getting Dems out to vote, not winning La Rivans.

The argument that third party voters have "checked out" is just absurd on its face, they are voting for a reason. The fact that Dems don't want to co-op leftist third parties is their problem, not mine. FWIW the reason is because you'll keep voting for them no matter how rightward they go.

and just lol at anyone who voted for hillary clinton in 2016 and calls themselves a socialist

“We got to figure this out,” said Cedric Fleming, one of the barbers. “We got a gangster in the chair now,” he said, referring to President-elect Donald J. Trump.

They admitted that they could not complain too much: Only two of them had voted. But there were no regrets.

“I don’t feel bad,” Mr. Fleming said, trimming a mustache. “Milwaukee is tired. Both of them were terrible. They never do anything for us anyway.”

Milwaukee’s lowest-income neighborhoods offer one explanation for the turnout figures. Of the city’s 15 council districts, the decline in turnout from 2012 to 2016 in the five poorest was consistently much greater than the drop seen in more prosperous areas — accounting for half of the overall decline in turnout citywide.

The biggest drop was here in District 15, a stretch of fading wooden homes, sandwich shops and fast-food restaurants that is 84 percent black. In this district, voter turnout declined by 19.5 percent from 2012 figures, according to Neil Albrecht, executive director of the City of Milwaukee Election Commission. It is home to some of Milwaukee’s poorest residents and, according to a 2016 documentary, “Milwaukee 53206,” has one of the nation’s highest per-capita incarceration rates.
