For more than a decade, Democratic strategists have argued that social and demographic changes in the U.S. will inevitably deliver growing support for their party. After all, the white working-class population, which tends to vote Republican, is in sharp decline, while the nonwhite population, which is presumed to be politically liberal, keeps growing. On this theory of the “rising American electorate,” as it’s called, Democratic victory is simply a matter of getting this burgeoning nonwhite population to the polls.
“Democrats are so obsessed with wooing conservative white working-class voters that they fail to see the ever-increasing ranks of people of color who can strengthen their political hand,” wrote analyst Steve Phillips, author of the 2016 bestseller, “Brown Is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New American Majority.” More to the point is Julián Castro, a candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, who has said that the Hispanic vote could deliver Texas, Arizona and Florida to the Democrats in 2024—“a big blue wall of 78 electoral votes.”
Hispanics are the largest nonwhite group designated by the Census, representing 19% of the U.S. population, while Blacks make up 12%. Hispanics are also the biggest driver of nonwhite population growth. While they make up a smaller share of voters than of the population as a whole, voting trends suggest that this share will increase.

>> Democrats are so obsessed with wooing conservative white working-class voters
The Rats do no such thing.
Sounds like replacement theory to me. I thought that was just a right wing conspiracy theory
The Rats do no such thing.
No kidding! They're obsessed with demonizing conservative white working-class voters!
I believe they are also making a difference in the current MAGA wave in Texas and Arizona. You have people like Marya Flores and others that are riding this wave.
Don't forget About North Carolina. The Tar Heel State narrowly voted for Obama in 2008.
+1
Written by a full blown libtard.
The fact that Blacks now support the rodents at 61% coupled with the +8 point support from Hispanics for Republicans is the elephant in the room.
With nothing else to write about but Trump primary victories, which they hate and refuse to acknowledge the media has and will write stories based on delusional thinking that the rodents are catching up to the RED WAVE.
They can’t get around 10% inflation, and these sagging support numbers from Blacks and Hispanics.
When you read that Black support is now down to 61% as per Civiqs, remember that in the 2016 election Hillary Clinton got 89% of the Black vote and still lost.
On the 2020 census form the question on hispanicness was separate from the racial question. You could be white hispanic, black hispanic or even Asian Indian hispanic (picturing Apu with a sombrero). So I don't see how you could compare the racial and hispanic numbers.

Yep. Younger Blacks - particularly males - are far less reflexively Democrat than their elders. The big gap was about at age 45 and below for the 2020 election. Brandon certainly hasn’t helped the Democrats’ brand with Blacks. Trump went from 8% to 12% of the Black vote from 2016 to 2020. That’s still practically a monolith but its starting to move slowly toward being more balanced.
Meanwhile a LOT of Hispanics are bailing on the Democrats. They have practically nothing in common with the Rich Leftist White elites who run the Democrat Party and in Trump’s populist agenda, they see their interests being represented....ie socially conservative/economically populist.
You have to wonder how long Asians will continue to tolerate economic policies that punish them, being the target of numerous hate crimes directed against them by other Democrat voters and being openly discriminated against in school and job applications by......Democrats. Its clearly an abusive relationship.
I don't get it either. But they're still voting Democratic. You would think they would switch parties by now.
