This race/class message seems compelling if your goal is to address racial and economic issues. But if one of your (unstated) goals is to get people to stop talking about race because you don't like all this race talk anyway (electoral dynamics aside), then it's not compelling. — PolitiTweet.org

@DemPartyBuilder @whstancil @BenjaminSmith13 @MercurySchroepp @mattyglesias Clyburn is strongly against defund. He is strongly for getting rid of the filibuster to pass a voting rights bill, which would be a very high profile and racial-ized move by Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

@DemPartyBuilder @whstancil @BenjaminSmith13 @MercurySchroepp @mattyglesias Working class black people are the bulk of voters in some districts. (CBC ones.) Do the representatives they chose talk about racial issues often? Do their representatives strongly support police reform? HR40? Yes, yes, yes. — PolitiTweet.org

.@AlanIAbramowitz and @b_schaffner have done some pieces recently that I think get closer to answering these question than "education polarization" does. https://t.co/WqmASjnYZr — PolitiTweet.org

Similarly "education polarization" is certainly a way to describe our political divides. But if racial polarization is even bigger, is that the actual story? And education polarization doesn't tell us much---on what issues do the more educated differ from the less educated? — PolitiTweet.org

As my friend @tzimmer_history says, it was an intentional decision by those who follow American politics to choose "polarization" as the frame to think our political divides. That frame obscures something: what are people polarized about? — PolitiTweet.org

How do Democrats do better with white voters and how do Democrats do better with voters without degrees aren't the problem, so they probably don't have exactly the same solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden won 73% of non-college voters of color, about 53% white voters with degrees. We might be overstating Dem strength with white college grads and understating it with non-college people of color. https://t.co/YqGO8PUqQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Dems won about 43 percent of white vote, about 75 percent of black and Latino vote. Dems won about 45 percent of non-college vote, about 60 percent of college vote. I understand the college/non-college gap is newer, but the racial one is even bigger — PolitiTweet.org

But if you look at the absolute voting patterns in America, Democrats really struggle (under 40 percent) with white men, white non-college graduates and white non-college men in particular. What do those groups have in common? https://t.co/CFnzMgzYUr — PolitiTweet.org

Shifts do matter--and the shifts are white college graduates moving to Dems, white non-college moving GOP, Latinos moving to GOP, while black Americans are staying very Democratic. — PolitiTweet.org

Pew data has Biden at 55% among non-college-educated Latino voters 92% percent among non-Black voters, so also around 73 percent overall. https://t.co/CFnzMgzYUr — PolitiTweet.org

Catalist looked at a number of subgroups in their 2020 analysis. Clinton won voters of color without degrees 78-18, Biden won 73-25. So Trump made gains, but he lost by a lot. Voters of color without degrees are very Dem-leaning still. https://t.co/YqGO8PUqQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Pew 2020 verified data (so better than exits) shows that black college graduates and black non-college graduates were both 92-8 for Biden. There was a big ed gap among white and Latino voters, with those with degrees much more likely to back Dems. https://t.co/CFnzMgzYUr — PolitiTweet.org

@drvolts I think there is very much a plan to enforce that: a bloc of Democratic strategists/pundits who are ready to cast anyone prominent saying anything controversial about a racial issue anytime within 6 months of an election as helping the GOP. This apparatus basically exists now. — PolitiTweet.org

@DrewSav Trump went from 27% among minority men in 2016 to 31% percent in 2020, per Catalist. I am quite comfortable with noting the shift, if people would use the absolute numbers too. https://t.co/YqGO8PUqQ1 — PolitiTweet.org
