The Democrat Plan for Race-Based Victory

November 1, 2012 @ 12:55 pm

For conservatives, Barack Obama's presidency represents such an obvious failure that they can't understand why the contest is even close. Among the 75 percent of the electorate classified as "non-Hispanic white" it isn't close, in fact, with 60 percent support or more for Mitt Romney.

The problem is that in the quarter of the voting public that's non-white, Obama prevails with a crushing 80 percent. This situation explains the shameful Democratic emphasis on racial issues and charges of GOP bigotry: if they can push Obama's support among blacks, Latinos and Asians close to 90 percent, they can win despite emphatic rejection by America's white majority.

That's why the top future political priority for the GOP must be building a more substantial base in the nation's non-white communities, to overcome knee-jerk support that gives Democrats such a powerful advantage.

    Race Based Elections

    The left will always use race and class warfare as their primary issue in all elections. Without a dependency class, the Democratic Party would have no reason to exist.

    As long as Reactionaries try to divide workers by gender, race, nationalism or religion ...we will fight them. As long as the right wing attacks workers by attempting to pit them against each other, we will fight them. WA state has the highest minimum wage in the USA and as long as the GOP tries to destroy our wages to fatten wall street...the Left will fight them.

    ...the sun is still rising in the East and setting in the West. The Earth continues to orbit the sun. Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich are still alive and raising hell. (OK, not sure about Rove, but Newt has emerged from his vault.) Obama hasn't started closing down Chrisitian churches or executing the wealthy. You can come out now. Really, it's OK.
