- dsfyu404ed 8y agoI'm perfectly aware of that. Whether the policy crafters at the DNC realize that is a different story. A lot of people seem to take for granted that only whites vote R so I figured there was no harm in challenging that assumption for the point of my example.
- everdev 8y agoI think the point was that any cohort with a strong voting record for one party will still have members that vote for another party based on a single issue. It's not unreasonable to think that someone might agree with the bulk of a party's platform, but disagree on a single issue that's most important to them and can't bring themselves to vote for anyone in that party because of it. I can imagine guns, abortion, the military, taxes, etc. might fit that bill as someone's single most important issue.
