General Discussion

Ethnic voting is celebrated in corporate media and the "loss" of ethnic blocks is a theme often used to scare the Democrats into what corporate media types like to call "moderation," or what I call collaboration with, or capitulation to, the fascist oligarchy. This stuff smacks of AIPAC's dark money doings, but who knows. The message I read in all of this is anyone who so much as levels a mild criticism of Bibi's right-wing Ashkenazi Zionist regime is antisemitic. Somehow all Jews are supposed to be Zionists. We know where that left Andy Levin (formerly a rather progressive D Rep. from MI-9). Uh-huh.

My experience is that such notions are about as far from the truth as saying that all white people are Klansmen. Voting blocks are convenient for lazy journalists. Such notions also provide fodder for political consultants to charge large fees of candidates and political parties, feasting on all those campaign donations, for hosting focus groups to "understand the problem." Like most things in America, and especially in American politics, it's mostly bullshit.
