President Barack Obama was beholden to a majority white electorate who has not voted in the majority for the Democratic Nominee for POTUS since 1964, the year the Civil Rights Act was passed.

"majority white electorate who has not voted in the majority for the Democratic Nominee for POTUS since 1964" AYO WHAT (not disbelieving you, this is just surprising TIL)
Yeah, it's true though. Even President Obama did not get the majority of the white vote.
What the heck happened between 1964 and now, that white people have voted majority Repubs since then?
This is a joke, right?
The Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. They have been trying to overturn it ever since.
