You had the chance to do just that and ended up not making an effort. It seems far fetched to think anyone could become president without a sizable chunk of white voters in the US just based on the census demographic data.

- fastball 6y agoWell given that whites are a majority of the population, it makes sense that the president would need a sizable chunk of that populace. What am I missing here?
- cmorgan31 6y agoIt would be factually incorrect to say the Democrats have a history or desire to disenfranchise white voters. You can not become president without a chunk of the majority demographic’s support. Hopefully that helps shine light on whatever you are missing.
- fastball 6y agoRight, I understand that. I just don't understand the point you are trying to make in the context of the discussion.
- cmorgan31 6y agoYou understand my point if you understand the two sentences I had the desire to type out on the topic. I wasn't responding to the full context of the grandparent's post. I was responding to the weak attempt at saying the Democrats and Republicans are the reverse sides of the same coin. Democrats have no desire to disenfranchise the same way Republicans do as it doesn't benefit them. They may try other ways to skew the results towards them but this tactic isn't used by them.
