It doesn’t make sense. A Black registered voter has a 90% chance of voting for Democrats. A Latino voter has a 70ish% chance of doing so. But a white voter has a <50% chance of doing so — and a white Republican way less than *that* — why not focus on Black and Brown turnout? https://twitter.com/tonymess/status/1324459424849764352

(Rhetorical question: it’s bc white ppl believe that things can only be legitimate if they center white people.)

The Democrats have not won a majority of the white vote since 1964, and have been obsessed w/ winning those voters back ever since.

Meanwhile, two youngest voting age cohorts, Millennials and Gen-Zers, are 45 and 49% nonwhite, respectively.

Per States of Change, the number of voters from those cohorts are anticipated to be > than Boomers in the 2024 electorate.

By *2028*, they will dwarf Boomers AND Gen Xers in terms of voters AND eligible US voters.

I mean.

The AAPI population is the fastest growing demo in the US. Court *them.*

Exactly. Younger gens skew more Dem not bc young white voters lean Dem but bec more younger voters are BROWN. https://twitter.com/destigmatist/status/1324700802615857154?s=20

If Dems are winning suburbs in big metros now, it’s likely because suburbs have been getting browner and and browner.

Okay, I’m done.

As @InADash correctly points out, that “70ish percent” re Latino voters looks diff and prolly higher if you control for people who don’t identify as white.
