@emptywheel poverty impacts voter participation and those who vote matter... also race impacts peoples economic mobility -
@PoliticaILine So big chunk of blacks don't vote and bc of mobility white candidates are more "viable"? -
@emptywheel its more of a poverty things IMO than race... but race and poverty are intertwined -
@emptywheel take a look at mayors of major cities in 70s 80s 90s compare that to population and poverty rates that gives you the data set
