Because they’re not a significant enough national demographic. Asian populations are concentrated in a few states for the most part so you’ll see them on regional data but not national data. 7% of total population is ~25mil and probably only half can vote (if that).
why are asian ppl always left out of these statistics?

Once you get down to the ones that do vote, it’s just not a major racial category for this data. Idk why I’m saying “them” as if I’m not Asian. I think because I instinctively do not politically identify with a lot of the Asian people I’ve met/most people mean East Asian.

I count on my fingers the way my mom does, so with the sections separated by joints. So you get 3 on 4 fingers and 2 on the thumb for a total of 14. Also I will be stealing this insult

Nothing grinds my gears more than all the white people from the very blue state I grew up in writing off southern states without consideration for the voter suppression, gerrymandering, and the systemic racism involved in keeping them red for the last few decades.
louisiana literally almost flipped that senate seat 😭 im so fucking tired of northerners and mfs in blue states not understanding how hard we fight in the south against these racist mfs, we are going to see more blue southern states in our lifetime

It’s so frustrating, and that write off feels racist in and of itself. Idk how you can say “yeah the places with the highest % of black people in the country suck and are unfixable and hopeless”. Just callous and ignorant and wrong.

Also, empathy with a fictional character doesn't necessitate empathy with anyone real. All sorts of bullies and tyrants love stories about underdogs—bc everyone thinks *they* are the real life underdogs
the idea that “literature fosters empathy” is only true when a reader does the work of listening and responding to the text. it is not an automatic process. evidently

reading anna kerenina for the first time and at the risk of making a ridiculously facile observation it's crazy the extent to which a nineteenth century russian novel is basically just riffing on all the same bullshit we're talking about in 2026

It’s def embarrassing but why do people think CA is the pinnacle? That state consistently says fuck poor people with their policies and their politics. Other states are most definitely capable of getting something like prop 40 to pass and the exceptionalism/defeatism is annoying.
Preventing Prop 40 from passing but passing Prop 42 so we’ll never be able to tax billionaires fairly ever again is so embarrassing. If CA can’t do it, no where else can. People who will never touch 6 figures are defending billionaires bc they want to be them; political literacy in America is so ASS.

anyway, for states who got to turn blue pls learn your new reps phone number, save their email, blow that shit up nonstop during their term. every single issue that comes up you need to be on their asses in droves so they stay scared about reelection

I already knew what I was voting for so I didn’t take a sample ballot but I’m regretting it because I have no clue what the messaging was around issue 3 locally. I was told by the people outside early voting that they were asking for a no on issue 3 if you were voting the ticket.
lotta folks honestly dropped the ball on issue 3 in Ohio for some reason Hamilton County Dem Party (Cincinnati) did not hold a vote to endorse this so I had to try and verbally explain this to dozens of voters today & everyone was confused every Dem party should have run on No

And I do know I argued with people in line about it and it sounded like I convinced them to change to a no. But all the signage had arguments that were so dogshit. Idk if that’s what convinces the average voter or if the people putting them up were sabotaging the vote.

Genuinely every time I see poor, unconvincing argumentation politically I have to try to figure out if I’m the abnormal person, if the people creating messaging are just that stupid/out of touch, or if it’s calculated political sabotage.

The South is not a "lost cause". It's underorganized, underfunded, and relentlessly suppressed & gerrymandered. And despite it all, Black Southern voters have shown up anyway to be the conscience of this country throughout our history. I hope people realize that.

There is no possible way. I just saw a grown adult say people don’t understand that multiple characters/people in a relationship can be depressed/struggling because they’ve never read a good book. Like the hunger games. I have tears in my eyes. Wow. What a laugh.
