Ignoring 71% of the US is great advice. Spasibo, Ivan!
No kidding huh.
Considering this
As in previous elections, White voters continued to favor GOP candidates. In the 2022 midterms, 57% of White voters cast ballots for GOP candidates compared with 41% who supported Democrats.
White voters are more likely to swing conservative. You can get pissed all you want to that's just how it is. White ppl who vote Democrat are going to vote Democrat regardless of whether they're catered to.
Research shows that the last Democrat win was due to youth voters and black women. Over 50% of that "71%" ISN'T VOTING DEMOCRAT. Obama won due to the youth vote and the black vote. Biden won to youth and black women.
Also white ppl make up 57.8 percent of the population
So going after 28% of the population that statically NEVER votes for you instead of going after the 42.2% that statically don't get out and vote and the more than 50% of voters under the age of 40 makes more sense?
Wow, you're right, campaigns can only target one group to the exclusion of all others. I understand much better now.
Or you do what the last black president did who won 2 elections in a row and focus on groups who will ACTUALLY VOTE FOR YOU
It sounds like you feel very strongly about this. Instead of shouting online in a way that accomplishes nothing (which, again, you feel very strongly about) why not volunteer your time to reach out to the group you think should be focused on? You'll help what you think is important and maybe get some coaching on how to effectively persuade people.
