Ahh, screw news media, we only have exit polls to go on, sadly those are percentages.
There were less black and white democrats and more black and white republicans voting in 2024 compared to 2020.
You can read that a lot of ways. One side will say it’s democrats defecting, one side will say it’s just them not voting while the other side was making maximum effort.
There is, however, a growing call, especially in the black communities, to stop supporting the DNC because they’re leaning so hard toward the white patriarchy (e.g.). Texas) that they’d suffer another 4 years of facism then hand off the reights to yet another half baked white guy in place of a black woman with decades of experience. The call is they know how to survive while oppressed, let the DNC figure it out or rot on the vine trying. And there were in fact comparatively half the black voters in 2024 than in 2020. where the white-only drop was 3-5%.
This is in no way meant to criticise their decisions. I worry that it’s the wrong way to go, but hell, they might be right. I just really wish my kids and their kids didn’t have to pay for all this to make it happen.
