I'm just doing it to show you and others here that you may have a better bead on what's on the mind of "the black community", whatever that is, of course, than one person on Dagblog using the pseudonym rmrd. And that cries of racism here on Dag by one pseudonym should be taken with very much salt as to representing the views of anyone else or the zeitgeist in general.

I used to live near a pond. My dog used to love rolling in duck shit on the banks. Not too smelly, not too serious, but still, a mess to clean out of its fur, not terribly pleasant.

I like ducks okay, but the way they leave their shit everywhere, well, I'd prefer they didn't. But those ducks didn't listen much to me.

Still, this ain't a pond. And a fake duck that still leaves its shit around - well, we can do better.

Well there are a large number of uneducated voters and personal contact reportedly seems to work with them. I have no idea why they vote the way they do or how to move them to vote for this or that candidate. All I have is some ideas of what is likely to piss them off. One would hope those in the business of swaying them have a better idea than I.

"Obviously, Biden reached out to white men"

And much more successfully than his outreach to black men.Since that outreach resulted in gains with white men and losses with black men wouldn't it make sense to go with what works? Increased outreach to white men would result in greater electoral success than repeating the failed strategy of outreach to black men that simply resulted in greater numbers of black men being willing to vote for a racist.

Such a brilliant comment the likes of which I have never seen before on the internet. I'm curious: why do you think a person using a pseudonym would care that another person using a pseudonym has said this about his comment? What do you call this game you are playing? Do you have any interest in news and analysis as well?

Obviously, Biden reached out to white men

After 2016, Democrats worried whether they could appeal to enough white working-class Trump voters to win in 2020 without alienating and disrespecting a key Democratic constituency: voters of color.

They just did. Biden won because he won back Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The percentage of white working class men voting Democratic increased from 23% in 2016 to 28% in 2020, while among white working class women, support for Democrats increased from 34%to 36%. These voters played a key role in delivering victories for Biden in the Rust Belt states where Clinton lost the presidency in 2016.
