Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out election | CNN Politics

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men who he believes have not adequately supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling them it’s “not acceptable” to sit out this election and suggesting they might be reluctant to vote for Harris because she’s a woman.

He then ends up suggesting the reason they don’t like Harris is because she’s a woman -

“Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

    Every one of those links gives me 404: not found… do they work for you? I am in the UK but that shouldn’t be a problem because I can normally access stuff from Pew, NYT, and WaPo.

      Strange, I’m not sure why you can’t access the links. I’ve provided some updated/alternative links that contain the same or corroborating data directly or linked/embedded as well commentary based on that data or additional related sources.

      Some fairly cursory googling on your part will turn this information up. It’s not particulary difficult to find. Synthesizing the data and providing commentary based off of analytic models tuned to that data I’ve already done in my initial and follow-up posts, so I think I’ve done enough legwork for you at this point, I imagine you’re capable of taking it from here.

        Ah thanks those links do work. Some of that stuff is interesting, like this graph from the Cambridge link, with middle income people carrying the GOP:
