in every election, and I'm presuming that was your voting pattern too. Over 60 million last election, a sizable plurality of voters.

The Republican Party started changing into what they are long ago now, and since then doing anything but vote Democratic has increasingly not been an option for people who believe in equality and government that serves the people, not government served by the people.

Btw, our base is all who can be counted on to stand up when the time comes. The black power bloc is very important to our party, 6% of the electorate voting mostly monolithically in strong turnout means power, but it's the dependable vote not the skin color that defines a party's base.

United we stand.
