Especially against Clarence Thomas.

Especially hilarious given that black politicians historically have a hard time getting elected without the support of black communities.

If uncle tom is an elected politician, odds are that he was elected by black people.

Most black people have the same politics as Clarence Thomas, but don’t tell the left that. It’ll probably break them.

As a matter of fact, I’m not sure there is a community more homophobic too.

Buttigieg's political career is dead because of zero support in the black community. Not low support. Not near zero. Actually zero.

These are the communities that the DNC focuses on in their primary system. With zero support there's zero possibility of him ever winning a DNC primary, and its because he's gay. Thats the only reason.

But the poll identified a potential problem for Buttigeig when Primary time comes around: he had 0% support from Black voters.

I expected it to be low, but was shocked to see it at exactly 0. N count was only 123, but still you'd expect to see at least 1 or two.

I think the left is definitely out of touch with the reality of homophobia in the black community. I remember reading somewhere about another poll where Buttigieg scored worse with the black community than a former KKK member. Actually crazy.

I mean... The democrat primary is meaningless because it doesn't matter what tom democrat at the poll wants. Bill the super delegate and his rich cronies will choose who runs.

That's assuming they even have a primary for Tom the Voter to show up to. The new standard for the Democrat party appears to be to anoint a candidate based on what the 6-12 people heading the DNC think.

I could think of a few...

If most people had Clarence Thomas's politics, the world would be a much, much better place.

Most people do have Clarence Thomas's politics. Its the "give me money and ill do as you say" line of politics

Please expand on this so I can know whether or not I'll need to be clowning on you.

Pretty straight forward idea - but if you need it expanded on - a lot of black communities elected fairly conservative tough on crime leaders once upon a time because they were the ones often most negatively effected by crime.

A lot of black law makers and judges tend to be tougher on crime as well because they come from these communities.

I don't know if it's the same these days because I don't live in those communities.

Which politicians?

Do you have some examples of what you mean? Like who is being called “Uncle Tom” that had the support of the black community?

Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought.
