Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I don't think you actually read those articles

According to a later analysis that experts consider more reliable, a study published in August by the Pew Research Center, the percentage of white women who voted for Trump was actually 47%, compared to 45% for Clinton. That’s still a plurality, and still makes white women more Trump-positive than the overall electorate

I read those, and they made me confident enough to refute this statement:

The majority of white women always vote Republican and that's just fine. 12% of Black men lean Republican and we get article after article about what's wrong with us.

I picked the most extreme case in his favour on purpose, quite the opposite of you that picked the worst of my three sources for my case..

2020 shows a very different picture.

Edit: A little bonus

LOL! Did you even read that link? Good God, man, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Meanwhile, white women seem to have maintained or slightly increased their level of support for Trump compared to 2016, with some 55 percent of them voting for Trump this election cycle and 43 percent voting for Biden according to early exit polls.

That's Support for trump and reflecting on 2 years. Again, can you provide a source for your claim that they always vote in favour of republicans?

Just do the math yourself for the historic data. Just a hint, black woman shift the results about 3% towards Democrats, generously calculated. And that's ignoring the higher voter turn out for white woman.

To match your goal post shifting, why do you claim 12% black man vote for trump, when it's 17% that say they're going to vote for him?

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You can't even say "Nonwhite women exist."

Goal shifting? You post 4 articles that agree with me and then claim I'm goal shifting. You should be ashamed of yourself. Learn to read and then come back and talk. 🤡

[–] vxx@lemmy.world -4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

None of the articles agree with your statement. It only shows that even for the tightest race that has been trump, you are still wrong by saying "the majority of white woman always vote Republican".

That you're constantly trying to insult me says everything about you that I need to know.

Keep sniffing your own farts and get lost.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

None are so blind as those who will not see ✌🏾

[–] vxx@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Lol, bible quotes instead of a source? Brillant.

Wacko Mode Initiated

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space -4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Why do you keep lying? I thought it was an accident, but you've got your head stuck in the ground.

You understand that nonwhite women exist, right?

Your article is precisely what I'm talking about: taking great pains NOT to say how the majority of white women voted Republican.

While Biden made gains among college-educated, white women voters who supported him in greater numbers than they did Hillary Clinton four years ago, Black women voters carried him over the finish line.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I provided you sources that refute your claim that a white woman MAJORITY ALWAYS votes for Republicans.

Now it's your time to back up your claims before calling me a lier.

What is the percentage of black woman that vote, 10% (Edit: it was 6.5% in 2016) in comparison to all voters?

Even if they all voted dem it wouldn't shift my numbers over the edge for your claim of always, actually still far from it.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Your articles are calling you a liar. Not me. (Edit: Well, I am too, come to think of it.)

The first Pew research graph clearly says that 47% of white women voted for Republicans and 45 for Democrats.

The second makes no mention of race. If you choose to reply, repeat after me: "Nonwhite women exist." Maybe you just forgot about Hispanic women. And Asian. And everyone else.

The third just dismisses exit polling without presenting any data to dispute it.

Edit: My bad, I should have looked at your whole article. It also agrees with me. Sit your lying ass down.

The 52% statistic appears to be one of those myths. According to a later analysis that experts consider more reliable, a study published in August by the Pew Research Center, the percentage of white women who voted for Trump was actually 47%, compared to 45% for Clinton. T

By my count, we have the Post and Pew Research (And the Times) supporting me, and you have yet to support your claim at all.
