The Danger of Courting White Swing Voters

It must be pretty sweet to be a white swing voter. Political campaigns blow millions of dollars catering to your every whim. Politicians ask what you think before they step out on a major policy program, despite the fact that your views aren’t representative of the majority of Americans. The changing demographics of this country mean it’s well past time to stop obsessing over a shrinking population that’s out of sync with the right direction for this country. Continuing to cater to those voters can have dire consequences, in politics and more importantly in policies that deeply impact people’s lives.

Michelle Alexander captured the devastating consequences of fixating on white swing voters in a scathing piece about the Clinton legacy on racial justice. She chronicles how much Clinton strove to be seen as “tough on crime” on the campaign trail, even flying back to Arkansas before the New Hampshire primary to oversee the execution of a mentally impaired black man. He followed through on his campaign promises:

She must have missed Nate Cohn’s piece on the “monster vote”. I am praying she has her “consciousness raised” in November.

And who exactly decides what the “right direction for this country” should be??? The liberals at the Huffington Post??? Are they the only ones with the wisdom to forsee where this country should go, politically, socially, etc????? Really???? Only liberals, and liberals who are not white, are the only ones who can run this country now????

She harps about the growing population of non-whites, and its impact on the future power of whites. She neglects one important consideration, though:

According to a MAY 28, 2015 US census paper on means-tested benefits programs:

At 41.6 percent, blacks were more likely to participate in government assistance programs in an average month. The black participation rate was followed by Hispanics at 36.4 percent, Asians or Pacific Islanders at 17.8 percent, and non-Hispanic whites at 13.2 percent.

Add to that the number of minorities employed by government administering those programs, and you understand why the black level of support for Dems is so high.

What happens to the black/Hispanic population when the US can no longer support having so many benefits programs, no so many government employees, and the private sector can no longer afford to keep affirmative-action hires on the payroll who do not produce more value than their salaries?

Look at Venezuela for the answer.
