3) Conservatives are a much more homogeneous group (old white guys with a long-standing sense of entitlement, residing mostly in small towns and rural areas). Liberals have to hold together a much more diverse coalition that don't always have interests that perfectly align. Plus the electoral system favours the former.Does anyone else notice that you almost never see these types of dooming articles about Republicans? Like when Trump went all-in on backing Israel or, say, tried to ban Muslims from entering the US you never saw a 'Trump is doomed because Arab and Muslim voters will flood the polls to defeat him!'
Articles like this exist because they get clicks as:
1) Conservatives like to read news that tells them what they want to hear.
2) Liberals are neurotic and love to worry about things.
I’m pretty sure it’s nearly 100% clicks based.3) Conservatives are a much more homogeneous group (old white guys with a long-standing sense of entitlement, residing mostly in small towns and rural areas).

Muslim Labour voters are an unusual mix. They are only rarely liberal or secular progressives in the Green or Corbynite sense. Many are socially conservative on women’s rights and sexual orientation. Yet they are highly exercised by foreign policy issues with which they identify. In that sense, they echo something of Britain’s 20th-century Irish Catholic voters, who simultaneously formed the bedrock of repeated anti-abortion campaigns while also remaining committed to Labour as a friend of Ireland.
Sort of. In the democratic coalition the white people tend to be the most liberal across the board while minority voters are more socially conservative. I think their social conservatism is compensated for somewhat by republicans’ explicit, virulent racism.Similar concerns over here
If Keir Starmer isn’t careful, Gaza could do for him what the Iraq war did for Blair | Martin Kettle
Many Muslim voters turned against Labour in the local elections, and the continuing conflict only heightens the risk of alienating others, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettlewww.theguardian.com
Though, maybe it's significant that the first few articles I found highlighting the issue were in the (Tory supporting) Spectator.
It clearly did cost Labour some seats in the local elections.
Is there any similar parallel between Musims and Catholic voters in the US in the past?
One day a robot from the future running on the latest AI will be elected. And he will still be better than Trump.Come on SCOTUS. Give Biden the power to be a dictator!!!
You mean the Van Jones that called Hillary the real racist and worked with the Trump White House?Even the usual polyanna Van Jones sees the writing on the wall
Got it.I’m pretty sure it’s nearly 100% clicks based.
I would bet money that those articles perform better so that’s what they publish. It’s why the New York Times is always like ‘unemployment is at historic lows, here’s why that’s bad news for Joe Biden’.
I bet Dem internal polling looks 10x worse if they are putting out statements like this already.
My 8 yard daughter fell down walking on the sidewalk today. 15 minutes latter she did a hand stand on a balance beam. Fuck off. People of all ages fall down, the difference is most people don't have cameras on them 24/7.
