      Working class people of color voted for Hillary. How many times do we need to say this? https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1120003935220183041 …

      Working class people of color, like working class whites, gave less support to Clinton than to Obama. This was largely a product of Clinton campaign's decision to prioritize white suburban Republicans over their own base in fall 2016.

          Also massive and coordinated vote suppression actions by specific state governments.

          I think that Clinton thought she might be able to win big.

          And jeet is at the straight up lying portion of the program. Jeet knows hillary lost a lot of support among whites for egat they called identity politics ... something bernie called a distraction. Hillary went to black communities bernie would not go near.

          This was also due to the fact that Obama was a once in a generation rock star politician who appealed to every demographic except hard core tea party/pre-maga loons.

          In addition: Being the first ever african american major party presidential candidate in the history of the country's general election might tend to increase african american voter turnout in a way that a white establishment woman with decades of baggage might not.

          I'd love to know how you arrived at the conclusion about why HRC got fewer support among people of color than Obama in 2012. She did better than pre-Obama democrats in terms of support among people of color.

          it's.....it's almost like something was passed that made it harder for some people to vote.

          not to mention, even without the gutting of the VRA, it's really not that difficult to understand why POC were more excited to vote for Barack Obama than Hillary Clinton.

          As a Canadian you may not be familiar with US civil rights history. SCOTUS overturning VRA Sec. 5 in 2013 had a large impact on turnout among POC. Stacey Abrams highlights this issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965 …
