This white man agrees.

Seems it genetically attaches itself to whites - mostly men. We need a telethon.

How many white people are there in the US? They all want trump? All but me I guess.

the writers know it.

I wonder what the motive is. It surely isn’t to impart some knowledge or wisdom. It is about as honest as a trump statement.

So what is the purpose? To get reactions I would guess.

Who is the intended audience? What idea is trying to be communicated?

Surely you don’t believe all white people want trump or do you?

What white people then?

And if you don’t want me to post here so be it.

Bye

And if you don’t want me to post here so be it.

Hostile, disruptive to the Group.

ETA for other hosts - full post -

every sane white person to keep it in check. Might not be all white people but it is the greater majority.

At least that is what I see and hear in Texas. I call the GOP the WPP (White People's Party). That has been the case since the civil rights movement in the 60's.

"When You’re Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression"

On what planet would that even be considered intellectual thought?

Just an FYI - that's one that has had a long history of disruption in the group.

Must have forgot I was a group host.

And I've been scarce to see in DU lately

I'm glad to see you here though. Thanks for doing the housekeeping

Hillary won the popular vote and, without election interference and voter suppression and God knows what else, would've won the electoral vote, too.

It's like saying Gore lost because of Bill Clinton. He lost because of Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Palm Beach County, and the Supreme Court.

Maybe many/most white males are mouth-breathers who watch Faux News (not THIS white male voter) but there are enough of us educated progressives to win every national election---if all of our votes count and our election is clean. But I guess enough of them did vote for 45 that it made it easier for Putin's finger on the scale to not be as obvious as it should have been (ALL the polls were wrong?!?!).

to believe that the Russians hacked a few computers than that all those people really loved his message. The former is a pisser, the latter can make one suicidal.

what needs to be posted here from that article because it’s not just the Economist poll
So I will post again for skimmers of posts who don’t click on your root link I hope that’s ok

This from The Root-
Quinnipiac poll:
Among white registered voters, Trump beat Biden by one percentage point (46 to 47) which is within the margin of error.
But Trump won the white vote by six to ten points when matched up every other Democratic presidential candidate.

The Quinnipiac poll is not an outlier.
In a Politico/Morning Consult poll, Trump again landed within the margin of error when white voters were asked to choose between him and Joe Biden.
But he won the white vote with every other Democratic contender even though the majority of them disapprove of the job he is doing as president.
A poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov from June 9-11 shows that white voters would vote for Donald Trump versus a generic Democratic candidate by a margin of 10 points.

My point when posting yesterday was in response to how trump can win which imo is fear or some other manufactured trigger for any likely D white voters to pull back from dems or switch to trump on Election Day

The rest of us have to stay strong + not let anything divide us , grow our numbers even if the party puts its focus elsewhere

I probably missed it as and I tend to fly by DU now that its primary season. Was seriously brutal here in 2008 and 2016.

Glad it was posted in General Discussion.

And yes - those numbers are scary.

White people majority do want trump according to many valid polls

K&R.

Every last one.

wants Trump because he's white, but of course doesn't really, is a walking oxymoron. And no amount of agreement among blacks inclined to it will change that.

Look, 100 percent of all white people (whatever that definition is) may not want trump, but for some reason a lot of whote people do, and they are also the people who love racial slurs, or believe that browns and backs present a threat to them. No akount of "nt all white people" sophistry is changing that.

not noticing the OP was from this one. I like to leave people in special subforums alone to indulge whatever they're there for that doesn't belong in GD.

The author is speaking to the General Election.

GD Primaries maybe? However, I'm sure the responses would be much like this one - dismissive.

We've heard since 2016 it was financial insecurity. I watched The Deciders last night.

It was ignorance then, and it will be ignorance next year.

most reliably thoughtful and insightful forum are still here. But it is a great shame that others are no longer. I know I'm hardly the only one who often visited to learn what was being said here, and they are missed. Hopefully they'll someday rejoin those still here, at least those who can.

And now I'm out. Carry on.

is obvious with this series of trollish behavior in this OP. You think it's we "blacks inclined" to agree with the OP though there are plenty of white posters in agreement replying in this thread and in recs. You really should be more careful where you post and continue to learn but not engage when you're just on a level of denial that's not conducive to your sensitivity and surely lacking in preparation when it comes to this matter.

It's good to know when you're licked. Carry on.

Truth hurts.

What I said in a paragraph you've said with two words truth hurts.

We still discuss!

Feathers got ruffled, but it needs to be said and you did it quite well, JAG.

In 15 years the Dominant Culture will not be kind in conversation or policy to the Trump Voter.

Good to see you posting again, JAG.

common sense legislation passed which would improve basic things like education and health care. and dealing with gun control.

it's all rooted in racism and white people not wanting those "blacks and mexicans" to get free stuff and their wanting guns to defend themselves against the blacks/browns.

but we will continue to talk about economic anxiety and other bs.

even with polls showing democrats with large leads. the scumbag still gets over 40 percent of votes in the country and almost all of them are ....................................
