Look at the demographics shifts in 2024. What did Trump do to improve his share of people of color so much? What did Kamala do (or not do) to lose them? Trump offered solutions -- evil, bad ones, but Kamala offered "not much different" than Biden. She lost the turnout and excitement.

I'm sure you know there was way more happening than "Harris is boring." Harris was hardly a clone of Biden, but she was not going to campaign against him. What did people like you offer that excited the electorate? Why if progressives were doing their jobs did so many "independents" stay home?

Do you see how your "class not race" focus, and focusing on how non-white people voted in the last election is actually you trying to get out of responsibility for dismantling white supremacy? You are demanding individuality and thinking you're just you, but you're part of the white collective.

The scientific process requires you to draw conclusions from the evidence, not the hypothesis. If the ONLY PROBLEM was white people voting for trump, then you're seemingly giving a pass to the voters of color who swapped sides in 2024. What, are they white supremacists too? Obviously not... (prob)

Look. Did you read the link? Here's a really lame Clipart listing the characteristics. I'm gonna start listing the ones you're adhering too under your skeets. The POINT is that you don't even know THAT'S what you're doing.

15 Characteristics of white supremacy; Perfectionism, Sense of Urgency, Defensiveness, Quantity over Quality, Worship of the Written Word, Only One Right Way, Paternalism, Either/Or Thinking, Power Hoarding, Fear of Open Conflict, Individualism,

I'm not giving them a pass. I'm saying that's for their communities to deal with. white people don't tell non-white people how to conduct their business. You seem to think there are equal amounts of voters of every race, but there simply aren't. Look up the numbers.

Part of the problem is how numbers are reported. I can easily look up the fraction of white voters who voted for Trump or Harris. But when I try to look up what fraction of Trump voters were white, I can't find that number. I'd have to reconstruct it.

Sometimes it is hard, I was working on some numbers a few weeks ago and it took hours to track down the right sources to find them. And they will use %s to make it even more difficult. %s make the sets of numbers sound equal to start with, but they aren't necessarily.
