      Weird how that’s not at all true of the overwhelming majority of working class people of color in places like Georgia and Michigan, who are dealing with similar realities It’s almost as if he’s specifically talking about white working class people without saying that explicitly.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1324613715724013569 …

      According to this exit poll published in the NYT, Trump got 26% of the nonwhite vote. Perhaps more striking, his share of this vote _increased_ since 2016.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/exit-polls-president.html …

          Let me put the hypothesis in terms you may understand: Voter acquisition cost for Dems is much lower in communities of color than it is in white communities. Separately, you should know better than trusting exit polls days after the election, especially with such a small sample

          There are millions of Black working class people dealing with the same occupational, financial, and cultural realities as everyone else. They overwhelmingly voted for Democrats in this election. Be sure to include that in your take about this election, whatever it is.

          Are there good estimates how much noise elections have? E.g. in germany, it is known that good weather influences turnout. I wonder how much of a difference one needs to have something above the "margin of error" of elections to measure the actual will of a demographic.

          I'd assume if you're non-white and planning to vote for Trump you're much more likely do so in-person and so potentially be included in an exit poll. Won't that skew that percentage higher?

          Not necessarily, exit polling generally is a small piece of a larger picture. Exit Polling is also inconsistent in its application and happens more often during the week of, and Election day rather than during early voting like it probably should.

          I am ecstatic to see Trump leaving. But Charges of his racism are wrong, mired in TDS and the false claim that not wanting to give money to poor people is racist.
