Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And there it is again. "Run a woman of color and we should all pack it in now cause she will lose." No effort, no nuance. Just obvious to you and all the racists and sexists you "dont" agree with wink.
You dont have polls or actual data on this, you have guesses thrown into the night and cherry picked to make a point from endless data we collect. I can find someone that agrees with me that the sky is a painting, it doesnt mean we can't send someone up to try to touch it, and you saying it shouldn't even be tried is against everything humans are for. Effort and against the odds trying.
Its gross. You can deal with that. I'm out.
If you read my sources (and my previous comments, "as per my last email") a lot of these biases and headwinds disappear with education. As stupid as it sounds, just running an ad going "a black female candidate can garner just as much political support as a white male candidate" can have a strong effect in her campaign.
The core disagreement I think we're having is whether or not this should even be identified as an issue. I believe it should be as per my previous comments.
as far as I can tell, you don't think it's an issue and shouldn't be contented in an election
You want to prove you mean that it just takes education, delete your original comment that says a woman if color just can't get people to vote for her. Otherwise it still looks like you are trying to argue you have moral justification for stepping on the throats of others when admonishing their attempts at more.
I edited my original comment to append info to clarify. Deleting it would remove an important part of this whole conversation I think.
What a joke. Ha ha.
