Why Is Delaware Blue?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Philly suburbs. If you look on the results map of Delaware, by county, you will see it's always the northern counties that vote Democrats.

Wrong Delaware.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Delaware is a tiny state with an outsized influence from an urban center (Wilmington/Philly). Downstate Delaware is just as rural as any other area (and actually was a Tea Party hotbed at the beginning of this decade) but its influence gets swamped because 1/3 of the state is basically a Philly suburb.

If Delaware extended all the way down the DelMarVa I'd bet it'd be a lean-R state.

Delmarva would have still gone for Clinton, though it would be less D than the nation at large.

I'm talking about the state of Delaware....

The northern county, not counties

Wilmington is not a philly suburb, although you could call it a satellite city.

It’s the northern state with the second-highest black population. I don’t know why it being solidly D would be surprising. Ohio would be solidly D if it were 21% black, too.

This is another example of the typical fallacy of only thinking about the white voters in a state.

Strangely, Democrats only have a one-seat majority in the State Senate now.

Weren't Republicans having a majority in NY Senate until like very recently?

They still do because of gerrymandering and the IDC.

The NY State Senate has a 23% efficiency gap. It's a scam....a godamned scam.

Personally, I would prefer this totally gerrymandered map that leaves 0 Republicans in power:

Black voters got to the point where their block controlled the state.

See Georgia in a few years.

Well you sure know who to blame for your problems.

Take a hike. I didn't say it was a bad thing, pal.

You're a Republican. Every time you get frustrated at your party not winning, you blame blacks.

1. Where was I frustrated in that post

2. Black people obviously favor Democrats, and the growth of that demographic in that state is why it has become a Safe D state. I'm pointing out demographic change in a thread literally asking why Delaware is solid blue today.

Like I said, take a hike.

So you don't get upset when your side loses?

Louisiana is even more blackity black black black than Delaware. By Atlas standards it should be titanium D.

Y'know like 3 other people have pointed out demographics in this thread before me, why aren't you getting pissed at them?

Because they are correctly framing it as one reason of many factors whereas you just said black voters "control" the state. But I'm not a huge fan of their analysis either.

Well yes, if they weren't there the state would vote Republican. So figuratively the voting bloc controls the state.  Ya know, like how Whites control MS cause they all vote R, or plenty of other states.

I am not insinuating this is a bad thing, or at all that Delaware is a bad state because Black people are bad or something.  Stop assuming things.

White voters in Mississippi are a majority. Black voters in Delaware are not. They rely on white voters, so no, they don't control the state. They can't do anything they want with the state. That's what control means.

What the hell is the matter with you, Beet?

Chill out. You're taking everything said here completely out of context and jacking the thread in the process.

What have I said wrong? I haven't taken anything out of context. CPAC just happened this weekend. It was a hate fest against immigrants, with our president reciting a song about a woman who lets in a snake only to be bitten. And when I ask Trumpers why they don't like immigrants, they always assume that it's because it's they will vote against them due to ethnicity alone. Never mind that most immigrants are Asian (who have voted GOP before) or Hispanic (who don't bloc vote.) Our entire politics is becoming a self fulfilling prophecy of ethnic Balkanization. There are literally neo-Nazis marching in the streets. That's the "context."

Just so we're clear: You consider "You're taking everything out of context" as a "personal attack"?

[Beet]

Then what did you mean by context? I tried to engage with that part but you never responded.
