Democrats aren't just out of touch with America, they're out of touch with their own voters
Black voters are concerned about violent crime. Most Americans agree, with one notable exception: White liberals.
According to a recent Pew survey of registered voters, 82 percent of black Democrats said violent crime was a "very important" issue in the 2022 election, compared with just 33 percent of white Democrats.
Overall, 61 percent of registered voters described violent crime as a very important factor when deciding who to vote for in the upcoming midterm election. The groups least likely to agree with that assessment were Democratic voters (49 percent), voters under 30 (44 percent), voters with graduate degrees (44 percent), and self-described liberals (34 percent).
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D., N.Y.) is a white liberal running in a state President Joe Biden won by 23 points. Nevertheless, her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin, is within striking distance thanks in part to his campaign's focus on violent crime. "Mr. Zeldin could win because independents are siding with Republicans on crime and inflation rather than with Democrats, whose concerns over protecting democracy take precedence," former Clinton adviser Mark Penn wrote in the New York Times this week.
The Democratic Party's increasingly radical approach to crime in recent years has already provoked a backlash from voters. Even the liberal residents of San Francisco were outraged at District Attorney Chesa Boudin's attempt to create a "fair" justice system by refusing to punish criminals. Boudin was recalled in June by a vote of 55 percent to 45 percent. The following month, voters in deep-blue Maryland voted to oust Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby, who adopted similar "reforms" even as murder rates soared.
Generally speaking, journalists and other Democrats have struggled to address or even acknowledge voter concerns about crime. They repeatedly attack Republican efforts to highlight crime in campaign ads as "racist dog whistles." They occasionally point to charts and graphs to explain that voters are wrong to be concerned. They have already started blaming voters for destroying democracy by prioritizing inflation and crime over the latest revelations from the January 6 select committee.
Hochul's response during an interview with Al Sharpton on MSNBC epitomized her party's flippant approach. "These are master manipulators," she said of Republicans. "They have this conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people in Democratic states that they’re not as safe. Well guess what? They’re also not only election deniers, they’re data deniers."
That doesn't sound like a winning message.
Nanzi keeps the data in her freezer right next to the ice cream.
Did blacks finally figure out THEY are the most likely to be the victims of liberal policies?
Yeah sorry, but if the good blacks want to be safe... we have to lock up the bad guys, which includes a lot of blacks. You can’t have it any other way.
Here is some violent crime from Houston, Texas, yesterday. Amazing display of rage and anger.
I thought that was where Paul kept the hammer.............
Crime deniers, inflation deniers, fentanyl deniers, vote fraud deniers...
Border deniers, covid fraud deniers, .......................
How about Commucrat Reality Deniers ?
Twenty-one Black people have gone missing in our city in the last week, many of them kids.
Twenty-one people. Think about that. What happened to them? Are their murdered bodies in a field somewhere?
Think about the family of these people. Not knowing where they are. No closure.
Anyone who says crime is not a problem is just not paying attention. And this is just in one medium sized city.
They have their own....................
yet they continue to vote demoKKKrat en masse
Scream as loud as you can “please don’t kill me” and then pull out your gun and shoot.
Democrats must read their own internal polls everyday for the last several months. Whose the real Data Deniers?
Minorities are far more likely to be victims of violent crime.And they’re finally waking up to the fact that white suburban “progressives” don’t give a rat’s hindquarters.
We need to play a lot of Malcolm X’s speeches.
He vehemently denounced the ‘while liberal’ as the BIGGEST enemy of Black people. Before they killed him.
I don’t think a little extra crime will make the black voters abandon the plantation and it’s bosses
Democrats are a marketing construct. Don’t help anyone other than their wealthy donors.
“...Democrats, whose concerns over protecting democracy take precedence...”
Democrats concern is protecting their power...
Besides, we don’t have a “democracy”...We have a Constitutional Representative Republic....
White Liberals think that it would be "ray-cist" to express concern about violent crime, thus indicating that they are well aware of the fact that violent crime is committed disproportionately often by Blacks - a fact which they nonetheless would vociferously deny.
