>>3950930that's true, i have to admit. there is something intangible to being an american that a lot of americans will have in common. but i think you're underestimating how far apart some of you have gotten from each other.
>>3951004what makes you so willing to dismiss race as a factor? when you've got 93% of blacks voting for obama in 2012 and 94% of black women voting for hilary in 2016, that's got to make you think that race matters. or the fact that 74% of non-whites voted for hilary.
i mean, if it was all due to politics, surely there wouldn't be such an overwhelming consensus. only whites seem to be divided by politics at about 56% to 44%. everybody else is pretty clear on preferring the democrats. do you really think the democrats are SO GOOD at persuasion that they managed to convince 94 fucking percent of black women that they're the right choice? and similarly, if the republicans are trying to "draw in" whites like you say they are, are they so fucking bad at it that they only managed to get 54%
i wouldn't be so dismissive of race if i was you. both race and politics are important
