re: #355 scion9

Well I know a ton of Democrats (many of my black coworkers, and many members of my unionista/public servant family) that self identify as ‘conservative’ and they mean ‘religious, church-going’, not fiscally or ideologically conservative. I don’t know if my experiences are representative at all but I suspect that they are. These people are firmly economic left ‘conservatives’ and would never vote GOP in a million years.

2 of my partners at work are African American.
You want to talk about social conservative , Family oriented educated, smart. they are all of those things. They also live their lives as fiscal conservatives as any republican.
They are the best of republican party in every aspect of their lives.

but as I’ve scratched my head time and time again, each election they vote for the democrats…

I don’t get it
