One-Third of Black Voters Say Biden’s VP Announcement Makes Them Less Likely to Vote Democrat

[Calminian]

Curious if Ras. also broke this down between black men and women. I'm guessing the majority that are turned off are men.

I'm also curious how men in general view Harris. I'm looking at how Biden acts around her. He seems defeated/hamstrung. She doesn't seem to energize him.

I know this is the opposite of what media is reporting. They see chemistry. I can't say I do as of yet.

But media don't have the highest view of men either, so maybe they think that's the way he should be.

Wonder if she now saw those women that accused Biden were all lies then?

The election for president is all about Trump. Those who want him as president for another 4 years will vote for him. The rest of the voters will vote for Biden, except for the 3% that will vote Libertarian, Green, American Solidarity Party, etc. It is pretty much irrelevant who the Democratic Party has as its presidential/vice-presidential nominees.

This just isn't true. Enthusiasm matters. Some potential dem voters will stay home if they don't like either candidate. Obama brought out all kinds of new voters, and that's what all candidates want to do. I can't see Biden Harris having this same effect. They really are a boring couple. They even rival Chuck and Nancy.

People get what they vote for. Biden also is promising to raise taxes a lot, now if your poor you may think that its great idea, but if you buy stuff in stores, these costs are passed on to you, so it will hit your pocket.

An over simplification

My comment was about those who will end up voting, not the non-voters, be they Democratic or Republican or whatever.

I consider it to be a use of Occam’s razor.

Veeps DO make a difference. Way back when, Sarah Palin solidified my vote for McCain - I probably would have voted for him anyway, but his veep choice nailed for me.
It's a shame that he did not recognize the boost she gave him!

An over simplification

I think it can be further simplified:
PRO AMERICAN vs ANTI AMERICAN.
Or maybe:
LAW AND ORDER vs ANARCHY
Maybe yet:
GOOD vs EVIL

Such open support for disrespect for rights and property of law-abiding citizens hasn't been seen since the KKK's heydays with the open support of the same political party that is promoting today's unrest.
