Obama had lower black turnout in 2012 than 2008.
Adding a VP who has little power is in no way shape or form going to boost a candidate to the level of the First Black President.
And to be frank there isn't one candidate as likeable as Obama running.
If you want to increase black voter turnout campaign better. Or you know, don't talk about immigrants during a reparations question
Ok thanks for confirming that you were paying zero attention during the majority of this primary
Like most voters right?
Y’all twitter obsessed ppl need to take a break.
Or is Liz playing 4d chess like y’all were talking about a month ago. She’s just so strategic, ppl can’t follow her brilliant positioning strategy on healthcare

This isn’t true. Blacks had a higher black participation rate in 2012

A Biden/Bullock ticket would be horrendous.
That ticket would depress Democratic turnout by a big margin
There definitely needs to be a woman on the ticket, it's time. Women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, especially Black women.
In 1984, no one was gonna beat Reagan breh and definitely not Mondale. Also, it was the '80s, there was a higher level of sexism then.
Also, Sarah Palin was a TERRIBLE choice for VP (or any governmental position)
They need swing voters. It has to be someone that relates to middle america. That's not Abrams or Harris. Maybe Booker or Pressley. The independents need to come back for the Dems to pull this off. Also, Joe needs to be on the same wavelength with his running mate. People disagree but Tim Ryan would make sense too. Or even Klobuchar if you have to. You have to win this time.

I didn’t say Black people were the reason Trump won. There are multiple reasons why he won. But it is a fact that lower Black turnout played a part in Trumps victory. Along with the 12 percent of White Obama voters that voted for Trump. There are about 15 other reasons I can name as well.
And I disagree that the Obama coalition can’t be recreated. You just need the right candidate. I don’t see that candidate in this cycle, but it can be done.
Isn't that the point of nominating Joe Biden? Or so I've heard?

Being anti Stacey doesn’t equal being anti woman, a lot of y’all have been anti woman
It was 95-4 in 2008
It was 93-6 in 2012.
2012 had 2 million less voters than 2008 despite having an increase of 6 million VAP.
The white turnout was significantly lower than 2008, which caused the black voting share to increase.
Who is y’all? I was President of the #HillSet Clinton Gang

In my case I hope I don't come off as anti woman, I'm just looking at history and the fact midwest voters are not up with the woke agenda, even the minority ones. Plus the fact we need those states back. No way should we be losing Iowa, not with all the colleges in that state.
But I get why @John Reena @Atlrocafella are against stacey, she brings nothing to the ticket.
Thats voting rate. particpation rate=turnout rate
Turns out the stats are all over the place. The things I read said it increased Minority Turnout Determined the 2012 Election
Others say it decreased https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...home-in-2016-more-than-a-third-of-them-black/
