24.05.2025 13:20 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0People shouldn't act like affluent college educated suburban Republicans are somehow more moderate than Republican voters as a whole, it might been true back in 2012, but not now
24.05.2025 13:15 โ ๐ 383 ๐ 49 ๐ฌ 7 ๐ 1Yep it's not an education thing. Highly educated Republicans are *more* likely to be climate deniers than less educated Republicans.
It's conservative ideology and far right media.
Also if non white voters aren't actually a monolith for Dems, then we should pay more attention towards class voting as a whole, not just whites, also you can split up white voters by different religious sects
24.05.2025 13:13 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Also some other parts seem off, but it's absolutely true that Trump has made big gains with poor whites post 2012 and also lost big with rich whites
24.05.2025 13:11 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Presidential vote among whites shows continued income polarization (data from @electionstudies.bsky.social's 2024 timeseries), with income negatively correlated to GOP presidential vote.
23.05.2025 11:01 โ ๐ 135 ๐ 54 ๐ฌ 9 ๐ 22I think the 2008 data is off since Romney did noticeably better in affluent white precincts, and didn't do that much better in a lot of poor white areas

I have some skepticism about his policies, but you can't deny that he's managed to break into both highly educated liberal and low info voter spaces. If he was 10% less Muslim/socialist he'd be a future president (and maybe despite that...).
23.05.2025 15:44 โ ๐ 102 ๐ 6 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 1The 2025 NY Special election in NY SD-22, a contest between Dem Sephardic community leader Sam Sutton and GOP Attorney Nachman Carl Caller following the resignation of Simcha Felder to take a seat on the New York City Council proved an easy hold for Dems in this Orthodox seat
21.05.2025 03:08 โ ๐ 24 ๐ 4 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Tricia Cotham made national news when she switched from the Dems to the GOP in 2023, handing the North Carolina GOP a supermajority and receiving a favorable district in redistricting.
Her #HD105 did flip from Trump to Harris, but she held on and won re-election by 200 votes.
The three Dems dropping dead was bad but not actually pivotal in anything. Under a realistic gerrymander of New York however (see below), Dems wouldโve had three more seats, and thus the house majority.
23.05.2025 15:28 โ ๐ 50 ๐ 4 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 1this isnโt even true. hereโs a chart from David Shor showing how climate change and the environment is one of the strongest issues for democrats! the problem is that itโs low salience!
