Four groups of traditional Democrat supporters that should walk away

As the Democratic Party continues lurching to the far left, there are at least four groups of traditional Democrat supporters who should do some soul searching and ask themselves whether today's Democratic Party and candidates still deserve their votes, given the rhetoric they are hearing and the direction the party is going.

First, African Americans. We all know that the Democratic Party has been counting on African Americans' steadfast support for several decades now. But, what have African Americans gotten in return? On the education front, the Democrats have consistently sold out young black children to teachers unions by restricting school choice. Such a policy ends up trapping many black children in failing schools, despite the fact that African American students in charter schools are scoring 4 percent higher on reading tests than those in traditional public schools and are more likely to go to college.

On the economic front, according to a BlackPressUSA 2015 report, under President Obama, the unemployment rate was at 14 percent and the poverty rate for African Americans was at 27 percent. But under President Trump, African Americans’ economic outcomes have drastically improved. Their unemployment rate dropped to 5.9 percent in 2018 and their poverty rate dropped to 21.2 percent in 2017 (the most recent data), both historical lows. With a strong economy, we can bring both rates further down.

The Democratic Party has failed to deliver the economic improvement it promised. Maybe African Americans ought to take their votes to a party that actually knows how to deliver economic growth in their communities.

When are people going to figure out that AAs are not going to leave the Democratic Party since they don’t perceive it to be in their ethnic interest to do so?

The Jews for one. There is so much anti-Jewish sentiment in the dimoKKKRAT party I find it hard to believe 70-75% of the Jews are still dimoKKKRATS.

Let us make no mistake about it:

A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!

America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!

Oh, and muslims.

Wait.

I guess the trans should go also.

[When are people going to figure out that AAs are not going to leave the Democratic Party since they don’t perceive it to be in their ethnic interest to do so?]


As I’ve said elsewhere, until the GOP endorses racial quotas, blacks won’t support the party in any numbers. In fact, given the current zeitgeist among blacks, the GOP will also need to OK reparations, perhaps in a form of a four-figure annual refundable tax credit to every black person for the rest of time.

Democrats are the party of racial quotas and reparations. The GOP is not. These two buckets of goodies far outweigh anything else as an issue among blacks.

Blacks are way over-represented in the civil service, white collar and skilled blue collar jobs, relative to their IQ’s, where they have, on average, a 20 point IQ disadvantage relative to whites. Whites average 100, whereas blacks average 80. These IQ test results are mirrored on civil service tests, SAT’s and college graduation rates. If blacks had to compete on merit/ability alone, civil service jobs would probably be 99% non-black. As would white collar and skilled blue-collar jobs.

I think it’s perfectly rational for blacks to vote for the Democratic party until the GOP embraces reparations and racial preferences for blacks. However, if the GOP did embrace those policies, a good chunk of whites who currently support the Republican party, primarily because of its (mostly pro forma) opposition to special bennies for blacks, would bolt to the Democratic party or just stay home on election day.

Black Americans have every reason to leave. The KKK is the democrat party. Those that are elected in the democrat party to office serve at the will of the KKK

OK. I’ll take that question:

At least the following “minority groups” should leave the DIMocRATS, never to return:

1. WORKING A-As,
2. Jewish Americans,
3. Native-born & naturalized Latinos,
4. Asians
and
5 ALL of the blue/pink collar working folk.

Just my OPINIONS, TMN78247

1. Retired on fixed income - Medicare for all certainly means less for those that paid into the system.
2. Retired on pension. Return to socialism policies will again devalue (like 0 did) stocks and bring pension plan defaults closer and in time.

actually, most working people realize the D party has milked them dry (to buy votes with welfare $$ to non-working “favored minorities”)

also, many (or most?) Latinos realize that open borders have both screwed them in the labor market (most Latino citizens do work, many work very hard in fact)..... plus, they resent all the anti-Latino sentiment that open borders are causing

finally, ALL Americans should, at least, wake up to the most serious danger of all... the large number of hostile Muslim invaders/immigrants (especially brought in en masse under Obama, of course, but Bush was importing them too!)

Jews come quickly to mind. Except,perhaps,for the Jews who believe that European Jews of the 1940s “had it coming”.
