She could be -10 with white women and +30 with women of colour, which can result in +4 with women overall. You said "she's more favorable than unfavorable for older white women" which you don't know for a fact. In fact, you are most likely wrong (looking at her approval ratings among all whites and all people 35+)
Missing the point. The point is the framing and what that says about larger issues in society, not her actual numbers:
That's why I said "truly random example". First thing that I thought of.
I could say something flippant about "poll culture", but what it really is is the manipulation of stats via language to sell a narrative, which is why I no longer really believe in "fact-based reporting", unless it's just raw numbers (which is not really reporting, raw numbers is a database, even the structure of the database carries bias).
You are able to understand why someone would want to besmirch her reputation, right? There are many people, even within her own party, that are against the platform she advocates. Someone trying to demonize her is not an outlandish idea, especially considering she's a woman.
White women have shifted a bit since then, looking at the midterm stats. 49/49. Hopefully the trend continues and he loses more of their support. White men are very strong Trump supporters, if not more so than 2016.
I do like her. The reason why I put that disclaimer is just so there's no confusion.
too bad the right doesn't have decades of concentrated smear efforts to use on AOC like they did for Hillary
Yeah, but also a little scary. Hillary came into 2016 with tons of baggage built up from her long career in politics, a lot of it coming from the conservative propaganda machine, DNC's mistake was thinking this didn't matter. I'm afraid AOC will be facing the same issues, where conservative news says something enough and people just believe it (Dems and Repubs alike).
Oh it's absolutely not actually amazing. Its super depressing. Just amazing that shes been in office for 2 and a half months and this happened.
While it's true the Hillary hate machine had a few decades head start before she ran, she existed in the pre-social media age.
The tactics involved which she participated in were dirty.
Oh now it makes sense
Read the article. This group of well known, well funded and well supported individuals brings a carpetbagger into the district. They use all those resources then complain when a minor PAC tries to help Sharice. That was dirty.
Indeed. The demographic break down is far less interesting then the partisan breakdown (and in-fact is likely being driven by it).
Do you have an answer to my original questions or are you just going to keep on questioning and attacking me?
I'd thought about giving her a pass on it, but then is that really fair to her. She's not some waif lost in the woods. She made the decision to participate and align herself with it. That comes with benefits and the knocks.
