That Roy Ayers album alone just secured her the black vote.
I see it as more white people who are into old soul and jazz on average. But I dont really know this
Records are fun and have a good sound to them, if only my friend let me scratch one of his old records on his turntable like a 1990s DJ.
Well. Buying jazz vinyl is hardly "normal". She'll have to work hard to overcome this.
Good music is good music but he’s definitely big with the older more middle aged black folks and is how I came to know a bunch of old jazz and soul from some relatives.
She at least is starting off a little better than Hillary. We may still get another Pokémon go to the polls moment but without all the other baggage Hillary was carrying it probably won’t grate as much.
I think what hurt Hillary the most was the appearance of possible criminality. Not even a conviction or trial, just the possibility that she might be a criminal was seemingly too much for most voters in 2016.
I was always bothered by the "who would you most like to have a beer with" test. In as much as its reality, It speaks to the insecurity and fragility of Americans who cant venture to imagine that someone different than themselves could be trusted to lead.
On the assumption that it would have been a close run thing with Biden v Trump, I really can't see that swapping Harris for Biden would lose any Democrat votes. But it would certainly add some (even if, at the moment, it's just vinyl loving jazz aficionados). And the comparison between her public appearances and Biden's is going to be huge. And similarly stark will be her competence at a microphone v Trump's.
