Elections Asian Americans vote dem by a wide margin

[Cirris]

Well considering Asians in the US mostly live in the coastal US cities it's not surprising.

When you're spoonfed socialist ideology everyday, it's almost impossible to think otherwise.

Obviously they're still living on the Democratic Plantation

Better to live in rural America and be spoonfed beliefs about a man in the sky who decides whether you've been naughty or nice after you die. Am i rite?

Do you have actually proof that these are wide spread or are you generalizing an entire race? Seems like a heavily biased opinion based on stereotype rather than solid facts.

Yeah I live in Toronto and have friends in Vancouver.

Didn’t know that many people biased against fair immigration.

I do think it is incredibly condescending to tell people who they ought to be voting for, as if you knew their best interests better than they do. You see this with conservatives talking about blacks and with liberals talking about rural whites, and almost always it's dripping with contempt. For the record, I do not think Asians are prepping to take over from the white man.

I don't think that is a fair assessment.

How do you differentiate 'telling people who they ought to vote for' and 'campaigning'.

If Trump says "i am the best for poor working class middle Americans' and then gives a huge tax cut for the rich and to pay for it and try to stop the ballooning Deficit he then moves to cut ObamaCare, Social Security and other 'safety net' programs that those exact same poor and middle class rely on disproportionately then ABSAFUCKINLUTELY others should be telling the voters that they are being duped and there should be disdain for those dumb enough not to research it and how then vote against their own interests and hurt their fellow lower middle class.

We see that 'campaigning' (telling the middle class what is best for them in terms of health care and pre existing conditions) certainly got through and worked in the last election and it needs to continue to be done.

Those in the lower middle class who vote against protecting health care for themselves almost certainly only do so because they are healthy today and do not have the foresight to see otherwise. We see that with the constant flip of 'conservatives' the minute someone in their family has a health issue. Those who do not have the foresight and who can only react to things once it impacts them personally should ntobe protected from disdain.

Filipinos killing it under the radar.

Yea, most of my Filipino in laws are hella successful...

And yes, we are planning a violent overthrow of the white man.

Peer review studies, and crime statistics, not what your friends said.

I have no real insight into why Asians vote the way they do. I know a lot of Chinese immigrants, typically from Taiwan, but increasingly from the mainland as well, because my church and it's sister churches are like 50% Chinese or so. From the few political type conversations we tend to have, they fall way outside the typical right/left breakdown of US political viewpoints.

I absolutely agree. I think the idea that you know what is best for others more than they do and that they are just too dumb to realize it is way too common in American politics. Liberals do it with people in rural areas all the time.

For the record, I do not think Asians are prepping to take over from the white man.

Then they have you right where they want you.

ya you won't get that from that guy.

Just for a counter I too live in Toronto and also Edmonton and spend a ton of time in Vancouver and can tell you from my experience what he is saying is not accurate.

Yup, with the small dick jokes, bad driving jokes, "flied lice" and slanty eyed teasing...

I'm telling you, the chickens are coming home to roost.

They tend to have higher education levels and since the left has effectively poisoned the academy with it's toxic identity politics this has affected their voting patterns.

I feel like this is a complete non sequitur. I'm not commenting on campaigning at all. I think it is fair to criticize Trump for going against the best interests (as the commenter sees them) of his base. I think criticism of some Dem commenters who harshly attack conservative or maverick blacks can be valid as well.

But the idea that rural whites or urban blacks or evangelicals or Cuban immigrants or whoever it is are brainwashed is utterly contemptuous. If I were a young black man living in Chicago and I heard some white republican saying that blacks only vote for Dems because they don't know any better, I'd assume that man despises me.

There is a significant amount of money laundering going on in the Asian community, especially from the new wealthy immigrants from China. There is also the presence of organized crime within that community. The problem I have with his statement is that he generalize criminality as the reason why Asians vote left wing parties, which is unsupported by facts and completely lopsided.

 

[hillelslovak87]

I believe a lot of the Chinese in the greater Vancouver area vote Conservative. Lots of small business owners that want low taxes and work hard.

I think Asians are able to look at taxes and take the obvious position of "Well, no, taxes are not simply bad. What type of taxes? On whom?"

Why do you guys always simply go "People just want lower taxes!" When people realize that taxes pay for things everyone needs? What is the point of this Grover Norquist retardation?

 

[original doom]

My guess is that while many Asians do tend to lean socially conservative, they are also educated enough to understand that Republican economics are for retards.

or they know republicans will lower immigration from their own countries.

its odd how republicans or more right wing parties are seen as racist yet any minority group is voting left to protect their own ethnic groups.

Do you partake in any crime? Or do you mostly follow the law? Serious question here

Well I think we would need to spend some time defining 'campaigning' then? And also 'brainwashing' which i see as a word that is hyperbole and inappropriate here.

IF Trump says 'I am the saviour of your pre existing conditions and health care and medicaid' to those voters and they eat it up and vote in large proportions for him, and when polled say it is because of those things, are they brainwashed? No. Are they misinformed and ignorant? Yes. Is it right to tell them they are voting against their own interests and for those amongst them to hold them in disdain when they cost them their healthcare? Yes.

So yes someone should tell those groups who they should vote for if indeed what they are saying is important to them is what is important to them. Turning a blind eye to ignorance to avoid hurting feelings while allowing their health care to be stripped is not the answer.
