Asian Americans need to wise up and end our blind loyalty to the Democratic Party

From the LA Times nonetheless.

And I don't get it either.

You think with their strong nuclear family bond, hardworking, and wealth, that the Asian community would vote Republican, but just the opposite happens.

 

From experience, the article is wrong.

In Orange County, California - Asians are as likely to be Republican as Democrat.
I believe a north O.C. seat flipped from Dem to GOP and the GOP person was an Asian woman.


edit in
I searched for that election but, all search results are littered with editorials
about Asians being Blue. It's a media game, apparently.

 

65% of Asians voted for Clinton in 2016...

73% of Asians voted for Obama in 2012...

62% of Asians voted for Obama in 2008...

That number has been decreasing over the years I betchya.
well 3 elections ain't that much
65% compared with what for who else, such as Black.

 

The Democrats target minorities insisting they don't have the rights they should have and that Dems will create a more fair and just society. And it has been working until quite recently when Blacks, Jews, women, Gays, etc. began to catch on.

They can see the left's ineptitude and dishonesty wherever they look.

 

Well duh! Asians do one of two things, come over illegally and/or practice tourist birthing. The only thing stopping them from doing this are the Democrats! Ending birthright citizenship would put a quick and decisive end to Asian immigration overnight! Faster than the latino wave that keeps coming. But like I've said a thousand times before, the left is hell bend on destroying this country from within. By the time the left realizes what they've done it'll be too late and the countries with strict immigration enforcment like Australia, Finland, Denmark, Japan, etc will be the last civilized nations standing

 

Been sayin this for hella days.

 

In California Asians use to vote Republican especially former Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants/refugees who were naturalized as citizens and voted Republican.

But their children were indoctrinated in California's public schools and vote for Democrats, many of those Democrats who are extreme leftist, the same kind of leftist their parents fled from.

And they teach revisionist history in California's schools today which means,"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."

 

I wonder how Japanese-American voted since most have grandparent who were interned in camps in 1942 by a Democrat ?

 

Asians tend to prefer conformity, which gets along way better with the collectivist left than the individualist right.

 

Former Trump NSC Spokesman Michael Anton: Citizenship Should Not be a Birthright

Finally, some clear fresh thinking:

A Supreme Court confirmation fight always raises constitutional hopes and stokes constitutional fears. With one more justice, they'll repeal Obamacare! If they get one more justice, they'll overturn Roe v. Wade ! To arms!

These periodic, now-inevitable freak-outs are a sad by-product of our country's drift away from political rule and over-investiture of power in the judiciary. But happily, the most urgent constitutional challenge of our time needn't wait on a court ruling. Each political branch of government has the constitutional authority needed to fix it.

I refer, here, to ending birthright citizenship.

The notion that simply being born within the geographical limits of the United States automatically confers U.S. citizenship is an absurdity -- historically, constitutionally, philosophically and practically.

Constitutional scholar Edward Erler has shown that the entire case for birthright citizenship is based on a deliberate misreading of the 14th Amendment. The purpose of that amendment was to resolve the question of citizenship for newly freed slaves. Following the Civil War, some in the South insisted that states had the right to deny citizenship to freedmen. In support, they cited 1857's disgraceful Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, which held that no black American could ever be a citizen of the United States.

A constitutional amendment was thus necessary to overturn Dred Scott and to define the precise meaning of American citizenship.

Some will argue that the Supreme Court has already settled this issue, establishing birthright citizenship in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. But this is wrong. The court has only ruled that children of legal residents are citizens. That doesn't change the status of children born to people living here illegally.

The problem can be fixed easily. Congress could clarify legislatively that the children of noncitizens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and thus not citizens under the 14th Amendment. But given the open-borders enthusiasm of congressional leaders of both parties, that's unlikely.

It falls, then, to Trump. An executive order could specify to federal agencies that the children of noncitizens are not citizens.

Birthright citizenship was a mistake whose time has gone.
​

Although the courts would surely rule such an EO unconstitutional, Anton seems to be proposing that Trump dare them to so rule it, and he also seems to be arguing that the President, who is a co-equal partner with the Courts, insist that his authority is just as strong as the courts', and basically take the Jacksonian position vis a vis the courts. ("The courts have made their ruling; now let them enforce it.")

Seems a bit unlikely, but I like the thought.

 

Asian is a wide demographic. Would be a better stat broken down by region

 

Identity politics is about identity. It's not about political "positions" or "policy."

This question keeps coming up on this forum, "How can [fill in the blank minority] vote for Democrats when their policys do [terrible things] to [fill in the blank minority]? It's an irrelevant question.

In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion.
--Lee Kuan Yew

 

And this is why whites need to start playing this game. You’re not going to win over minorities. No matter what they are, they want more power and wealth, and they will team up and use the Government to take it from you. That’s what the Democratic Party is all about at this point.

 

Asians as a voting block are fairly irrelevant.

 

They said the same thing about Hispanics just a few decades ago.

 

They vote conservative in my country. Almost exclusively.

 

But they also prefer social/sexual conservatism, avoid drink, drugs etc, and are often quite religious.

 

Asians don't need Kathy Griffin to help them get their hands on 'wealth'.

 

The Hispanic vote is almost as bad.

They only constitute roughly 16% of the voter participation rate, Asians I believe are at around 9%.

Whites are at roughly 64% and the blacks are a bit higher at near 65%.

Now when you take into account how many of them are actually registered to vote you can see how low those numbers actually are.

Basically you can easily win an election with just the white vote and it should remain that way for quite awhile.

 

Nope, it's true.

Asians took a hard Left in 08 with Obama and so far, have continued since.

Nope, Asians Americans are well represented in the
California GOP.

And if you use "lefty" links, what can you expect? The truth?

 

I suspect they will all figure it out at once.

 

I know a Korean who runs a chain of 5 liquor stores, each one manned by one of his children. He doesn't allow any of them to drink.

 

There are statistics which correlate higher education, college degrees, with voting patterns. Asians are very strong believers in higher education and strongly encourage their children to go to college. I think both Obama and Clinton won the segment of the population with college degrees fairly significantly.
