The topic of the thread is Young White Males, why are you linking to all youth? I know, sticking to a topic is hard.

Because you’re saying their switch means elections will be easier for Trump to win. Considering that youth as a whole is becoming more strongly opposed to Trump it’s obvious the opposite is true. This isn’t a difficult concept to understand, haha.

It's interesting how speedy goes on as if one poll defines the wave of the future & as if the white millenial male demographic will be definitive in future elections. It's dwindling in importance all the time. They are a much smaller % of millenials than any previous generation. They're an even smaller % of post millenials.

Winning an increasing share of a shrinking demographic isn't some brilliant long term strategy.

It is if they secede and can form Trumpland in TX, AR, MS, LA.

I say let them go.

Except the recent Reuters poll is comprised of half of 70% of all young people and the trend will likely spread to the next largest demographic males, blacks, which are now starting to lean Trump since Kanye put on the MAGA hat:

So you lose white and black males or just about half of all the youth. womp womp. No way any Dem can win without the black male vote, assuming young white men continue switching to Repubs.

See my above post about blacks. It's no secret that black male support for Trump doubled in April and has gone up since.

Look at the dummy who doesn’t know how to read a poll.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...-trumps-misleading-claim-kanye-wests-praise-/

According to Reuters’ own polling editor, the sample sizes for this particular poll "were too small to reliably suggest any shift in public opinion." Chris Kahn, Reuters U.S. political polling editor, said the "credibility interval" (which is similar to the more familiar margin of error) was +/- 9 percentage points.

So while Trump claimed his approval rating among black men for the week ending April 22 was 11 percent, realistically it could have anywhere from 2 percent to 20 percent. His approval rating the following week for this group was anywhere from 13 percent to 31 percent.

In other words, according to Kahn, the polling "leaves open the possibility that his approval also could have dropped in this time frame."

Womp womp.

So you lose white and black males or just about half of all the youth. womp womp. No way any Dem can win without the black male vote.

I like how when informed that youth as a whole is moving away from Trump you complained about people straying off topic and that this thread was just about white men. Then when informed that your conclusions were wrong based on the evidence and that Trump is losing support you then do exactly what you just complained about and bring up non-white males based on an article and polls you’re too stupid to understand.

You are a never ending source of comedy.

Politifact is a biased BS site financed by obama supporters. Try again, bro.

Young white males + black males supporting Trump more and more = the death knell for your party. Admit it, you cannot win without black males.

Per your example here, I take it you now believe all Muslims are terrorists?
Letting hatred guide you towards polarization, towards extremism, is a bit sad to witness.
Especially since Democrats should be our bulwark against such stereotyping.

Hahaha, just like the time recently when you claimed tampering in climate change data you literally have the source for your claim telling you that you’re wrong. It’s a direct quote.

You got owned yet again and it’s hilarious.

I believe you're trying to pump some sunshine up our skirts...

My usatoday link said:
There's no evidence Kanye's comments affected the opinions of black voters and polling from Reuters shows the approval ratings have fluctuated greatly since Trump took office—but it appears to be the highest rating among black men since the summer of 2017.

Overall, his highest approval rating among black men was in 35% in April 2017.
So it seems like Trump is capable of easily capturing around 1/3 of the black vote if he puts his mind to it.

You really did, yes, haha. The thing is it wasn’t just this thread that exposed how dumb you are, it’s almost every thread. I find it extremely funny.
I found it extremely funny that you didn't know a very basic deduction of the new tax law so I guess we're even. Also, I love that you'll be paying more taxes than me. Hopefully your property taxes are in the 5 or 6 figures.

Uhm, I’m the one that had to explain to you how SALT works in real life. Durrrrr.

Also, six figures in property taxes? That would be awesome because that would mean I owned millions and millions in property. I know you’re mad and riled up right now because your ranting is even dumber than usual, haha. The angrier you get the more I laugh.

Heh. Black men is not black voters. 35% two months into office is completely meaningless, as well.

This is the exact nonsense that drove me away from the democratic party. If you don't agree with us, then you must be a white KKK member. You'te either with us or against us mentality is a pretty big turn off.

Democrats may have far too many bigots for comfort, but I'm afraid the alternative is far worse. As long as you oppose trickle down and you'd like to help your fellow Americans, then I suggest you follow the true progressive wing of the party and work from within to build a platform that honors America's values. You won't find those on the other side of the aisle.

Everyone on the left is too afraid to distance themselves from the leftwing nutbag socialist fascists. Hence, the only place to go is elsewhere.

That doesn't mean they have to vote conservative, but to just take a more libertarian stance on things. You can still vote for conservative/liberal candidates - there are only certain ones that are stupid enough to go down the religious rabbit-hole or the socialist rabbit-hole.
