2014 Election: Blacks, Hispanics, Young and Women Still Reliably Liberal
American Thinker ^ | 11/13/2014

Posted on 11/13/2014 6:51:45 AM PST by Altura Ct.

The best predictor of future voting patterns is past voting patterns, to use a twist on a famous maxim. This is probably even truer of groups than individuals, and, despite some wishful thinking to the contrary, this election cycle was no exception. As to this, Silvio Canto at American Thinker recently asked “What Happened to ‘Demographics’?” in a piece in which he says that “people of color…don’t automatically vote Democrat.” Perhaps this means they manually vote Democrat, but, whatever the case, this person “of no color” is here to tell you three things:

They are voting Democrat.

They will continue voting for liberals.

This is also true of women and the young.

Let’s now analyze the numbers. Please examine the chart below from Pew Research.

...Speaking of demagogues, we can talk about “outreach,” framing our message and finding appealing candidates all we want. But if women, non-whites and the young are still voting for de-facto socialists after six years of the train wreck that is our first lazy, low-info, anti-American, affirmative-action, crypto-fascist president, it should be clear that our problems extend far beyond the political.

Try to discuss politics with a woman without the word “woman” or “women” arising. Chances are, if this occurs, she is a Republican or Conservative. Women who claim to be “independent” generally are anchored to the government which in itself is anti-independence.

Case in point:

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, Republican ( who happens to be Black), received only 11% of the Black vote in the last election.

Look in the mirror - who is working to teach them otherwise?

Dumb article and a waste if time. The voters mentioned stayed home and were not reliable. Why post this?

I truly despise women whose views on politics revolves around their cootchie. They are the most unreasonable, irrational people I’ve ever met. I wish they’d hop on the nearest obola faced toy and buzz off into the sunset.

Yet there are reasons why people become more conservative as they age:

Experience
Family
Taxes
Awakening
Maturity
Knowledge

I’m teaching my children, that’s my responsibility.

How do you suggest teaching the easily brainwashed and weak of society oh wise one?

Barone had an interesting column today, tackling the conventional wisdom about low democrat turnout in the midterm was the reason for their loss. He pointed out that blacks DID turn out for democrats at only 1% point of the electorate below what they did for Obama in 2012 (12% of electorate as opposed to 13% in 2012) and they DID vote democrat (89% as opposed to 91% in 2012). The difference is that the white vote, which a decade ago was evenly split between democrats and republicans, broke heavy for Republicans by over 60/40 margin. There simply aren't enough minority voters to make up the difference. He went on to say that even though demographics are changing, democrats can not continue to lose the white vote by 20 points and remain competitive. (and if executive amnesty goes through, that margin might be 30 points in 2016).

But although they vote the same (liberal), their reasons are different:

Women - We have always had a gender gap where women tend to favor family and children policy which liberals are notoriously good at fabricating,

Blacks - Will always vote for liberals who have a successful history of communicating the notion of racism and division enabled by race hustlers like Jackson, Sharpton.

Young - Liberalism goes with the territory but is a changing demographic with age. Youth, liberalism and ignorance kind of go together. I recall in my youth my Mom saying in her wisdom that “I was going up fool’s hill.”

Blacks, Hispanics, Young and Women Still Reliably Liberal

Those groups are mostly dependent on the government to subsidize them.

Young people when they get older often become more conservative.
Women once they get married often become more conservative.
Hispanics and blacks once they achieve financial stability and have assets to protect also tend to be more conservative.

The democrats have skillfully used victimology and the race card to hold these classes captive. White man's schooling, white man's laws, white man's justice, and other false ideas sap the ambition of entire groups before they start.

2014 Election: Blacks, Hispanics, Young and Women Still Reliably Liberal

I think I'm beginning to understand. These were the "reliable liberals" who failed the Democrats in 2014.

You know The Sandra Fluke "feminists", the ObamaPhone Lady, The Occupy Wall Street trustafarians; all the "dumbocrats" who haven't quite been able to parse this whole midterm elections thing. The ones who slept in on November 4. You know, the 2/3 of the voters Obama counted on swing the election, but who didn't vote.

I guess these must be the "stupid voters" Jonathan Gruber was talking about. In a way, it's starting to make sense.

So just to recap... the ignorant, stupid, moronic, and clueless are a reliable voting block for the Demonic Party libtards. In a related story, water is wet.

But liberal is a far cry from what it was when Churchill spoke those wise words.

“Women who claim to be “independent” generally are anchored to the government which in itself is anti-independence.”

After years of trolling dating sites, I have learned women always seem to use words like that in exact opposite. Not including the abundant euphemistic words that always mean fat. If a woman sais she is independent, that means she is clingy and codependent to the point of psychosis, and can barely function alone. If a woman sais open minded, that means not that she is open minded, but thinks herself some enlightened intellectual and any disagreement with her opinions will not be tolerated, and nothing makes her angrier to the point of violence than bringing undeniable proof that her opinion is wrong. I should someday write a guide about this
