Trump A Racist? 32% of Democrats Say Any White Criticism of Politicians of Color Is Racist

Yup, until the electoral college (which polls didn’t track) stepped in and overrode the voice of the majority. We will likely see a repeat of this in 2020 if trump manages a ‘win’.

No way he will pull a PV win

 

Which is irrelevant in our electoral system

 

You may believe that because you enjoy being able to rule over the majority, but the majority who had their voices disregarded likely disagree. And the majority ultimately have more say than you do. It will just take time.

 

Not likely because you would have to amend the constitution and the majority of states would vote against being marginalized by a popular vote.

 

All that has to happen is states with 270 electoral votes have to do instruct their electors to vote for whoever wins a NPV. No need to amend the constitution as it is already in it.

 

Which would only be acceptable in a few states with high populations of liberals. Most of America is red and those people in those states would not go for that but keep dreaming. If you can't win with the system we have then change the system seems to be all losers lamentation

 

Not true, see below.

Also the party benefiting most from voter disenfranchisement, electoral fraud, and gerrymandering is the right. Not that facts will do much to break your steadfast narrative.

 

Blue red map of America, Google it

 

I think you meant vacant land.

 

I wish. Getting crowded everywhere

 

Well they're trying to get that number higher

 

I was stunned that a lawmaker like Pressley would openly voice such hateful racist rhetoric.

Take Pressley’s recent formulation of the new racism at a recent Netroots Nation conference:

If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don’t even show up because we need you to represent that voice.​

Pressley outlined the classic anti-Enlightenment mindset: we are all permanent captives of our superficial race, religion, and sexual orientation. We must at all times think, act, and speak in such tribal fashion—and do so monolithically and collectively, in adopting the party line as set down by such elites as those like Pressley herself.

Blacks who oppose affirmative action, or Muslims who recognize Israel, or “queers” whose sexual preferences are incidental, not essential to their personas are thus declared not authentic and thus not to be welcomed by Pressley and those she associates with.

In practical terms, Pressley assumes that whites, reportedly about 70 percent of the population, tune her logic out. That is, they should never take her own racist advice and vote en masse according to their superficial shared skin color. If they did, the 55 percent of actual voters who are white in her otherwise minority-majority congressional district might never have elected someone who, according to her own rationale, is not part of their own tribe.
