How voting demographics changed between 2020 and 2024 presidential elections

NBC News' exit polls show the differences in voting among various demographics from 2020 to 2024.

www.nbcwashington.com

I care, I think it is fascinating to see the choices demographics make. And people rejected certain maga candidates in NC but approved of Trump because... (tbd?). I think the Latino vote is especially interesting. @gunslingerdick was the first place i saw the latino thing, that's pretty interesting given that socioeconomically as a whole they'd benefit from progressive policies on healthcare and education.

And the youth vote is very interesting too.

Yay... maybe?

They might benefit from "progressive policies." Democrats rarely deliver on those. They actually marginalize the people in their party that would implement them. So, why vote for them? In some ways, progressives are determined to perpetuate division based on aesthetics. It may not be intentional, or with malicious intentions... but, trying to isolate "groups" is not bringing them together. And, it sure as hell isn't working for their campaign strategy.

Definitely Leon. What else is RFK going to do?

Be first tenor in a choir!

 

[bluetoe]

LOL, you're pissed that your party is getting less white man and more black/brown man. If the trend holds, eventually your party will be mostly uneducated black people and brown migrants.

so what are you saying, that uneducated black people and brown migrants are garbage? Less worthy than white, highly educated people? Hypocrite. Some people never learn. We'll collect as many as we can, and give them equal billing.....while you call US racists.

 

[strummingram]

The best icing on this cake is Trump won the popular vote. Less people voted in 2024, too. Significantly less, in my opinion... given the "stakes" and all the hoopla around it. Trump got 3 million less votes overall and Harris got 15 million less than Biden.

First time in 20 yrs.

But is it because he's popular and his concepts of policies are popular? I still am not sure what his policies are? Taxes on tips? Tariffs? Replace Obamacare (TrumpyCare)? Expanding the child tax credit? He's promised these. In his acceptance he literally said "We're going to fix everything about our country"

Or is it just incumbent backlash due to inflation?

Is "equal billing" a type of watermelon or a type of solitary confinement?

this bears out my complaint about the '20 election. This election theoretically should have inspired at least as many, and IMO more, people to vote; but that apparently isn't the case. Votes were collected from a very many people in '20 who just wouldn't ordinarily bother to do so, and I am convinced that they had 'help'. Kamala losing by far the lion's share of those fewer votes tells me all I need to know to firm up my suspicions that the dems benefited from that bogus election.

And of course I can't prove anything. But there's this thing called common sense.

Will you let it rest, for God's sake.

And of course I can't prove anything.

That's right, so please, for the sake of humanity, STFU.

Trump lost the 2020 election. He lost it by a lot. There's no conspiracy. JFC... you're as bad as Trump. Fixated on what you lost instead of realizing what you won.

lol, cranking up the irony are we? OK, you're winning this one.

The democrats even conceded within 24 hours! They admitted they lost.

Hey! Let's bitch about the one we still lost 4 years ago!

and of course because I comment on something that I have previously contended, to you I'm 'fixated' on it. I think you are now ahead in the irony competition, as truly fixated as you have always been on your favorite virtue-signal topics. Get a mirror, dude.

It's probably a lot of things. I don't know Trump's "policies" either. I'll ride it out like I have many times before.

I can tell you this... Sticking dozens and dozens of multi-millionaire celebrities on your stage and welcoming endorsements from mf'ers like Dick Cheney ain't helping shit. Trump actually got my sympathies when he calls them out for their propensity to send US military off to kill other people and take their resources.

Inflation sucks. It doesn't matter how it happened... it didn't happen when Trump was IN OFFICE. That's how a lot of people see it, is my guess.

When DON'T you "comment on what you've previously contended?"

Trump lost the 2020 election... and he refused to concede. He's a shit-heel in American politics for doing it and lying about it. He won yesterday... move-the-fvck-on.

 

[bluetoe]

your feelings seem to be hurt. Are your feelings hurt?. They sure seem to be. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm sorry Trump made you look foolish because of your fixation on him. You'll get over it. Or not, probably.

when doesn't anyone comment on what they've previously contended? The better question is who gets sand in their vagina over it?

Maybe when they realize they've already said too much and mercifully STFU?

No... yours are.

 

[bluetoe]

LMAO. Speaking of sore losers, in addition to the two I just had an exchange with, I just caught a few words of Kamala's sore loser concession speech. Seems I'm not the only one 'fixated' on the 2020 election,; and even after the last election I never did any 'oh yeah, you just wait and see' nonsense....like Kamalawalladingdong was doing in her speech.

It's OK Kamala, we know you'll put your head down and go to work.

 

[tarheel0910]

the latino thing, that's pretty interesting given that socioeconomically as a whole they'd benefit from progressive policies on healthcare and education.

That's debatable. What isn't debatable is that Hispanics, as a whole, are more conservative on social issues. That would put them more in line with the GOP.

 

[bluetoe]

Maybe when they realize they've already said too much and mercifully STFU?

wow, how high can that irony go?

 

[Heels Noir]

wow, how high can that irony go?

How about this: Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to "gut the Department of Education" when we obviously need it the most.

 

[gteeitup]

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention @gteeitup today. He’s not one of the batshit crazy libs here but he’s batshit crazy adjacent.

Where are those polls you said were all over that showed Kamala dominating? Remember? I asked you to link them and you told me, “you can find them yourself. They’re out there.” I never found them.

they were wrong.

i personally thought he was cooked…i’m okay being wrong, but as i’ve repeatedly said before, i care more about local races than national.

one thing i will add, he’s gonna have the trifecta so we’ll see what happens with policy.

had a good day in the market today.

The Department of Education that failed you so completely? How about that.

his policy is to make America great again. Surprised you haven't heard of it. It's even an acronym at this point....MAGA. I mean, you see it on hats and all kinds of stuff.

oh nice, double down on your racism why don't you.

Yeah, that's pretty ironic coming from someone who dropped out after the tenth grade because he ran out of toes to count.

LMAO. Quoting from Kamala's concession speech in the article....""While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign," she said. "The fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and the dignity of all people -- a fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation -- the ideals that reflect America at our best." And the sheep say baaaaa.

What 'fueled this campaign' was a chance for her to become president that was dropped in her lap and nothing more. She's as phony as your boy John Edwards was. But this was about Bernie Sanders, wasn't it? Another loser who would turn us into a giant girl scout camp.

My boy John Edwards? WTF are you even talking about.

Hey... at least Harris conceded when she lost.

Sanders points out that the Democrats have lost the working class... of all ethnicities.

calm down, it's a joke. I've been saying he's your boy ever since you dropped his name one time about something I can't even recall. But he is a phony and so is she.

Hey... at least Harris conceded when she lost.

yeah, she ungraciously made a big deal of that in her loser concession speech.

Sanders points out that the Democrats have lost the working class... of all ethnicities.

he says something about 'economic justice' or something similar. Code for commie. He'd have us all wearing uniforms and making the same money.

The tears of the Squad, at least those with the balls to show up after K’s defeat, are a balm to my soul. Still waiting to hear from WWJD, Chapelle, and a few more Squad members…
