Many of the hot quick takes about the 2024 election prescribes remedies for Dems that don't actually match up with what happened - they don't address the composition of the electorate which is determinative

So recent story on Black turnout in 2022 has been getting a lot of traction, but unfortunately it shows the complication of talking about math. It’s kinda playing with math in a way to drive 1 small part of a story about AA turnout in a negative way. A short thread to unpack this
So AA turnout(-9.8 points) did notable drop frm 18,however (context) 18 is crazy outlier tht was more like Presidential year thn a midterm & AA turnout was only 4 points off the overall & importantly it was +5 points higher in 22 thn the last normal midterm (2014) not an outlier!
