Your first paragraph, I'm not sure it works like that though does it. I thought it was decided more on the states they won, rather than how certain ethnicity voted.

Taken from wiki;
Racial Makeup of Florida (2018)
White alone (74.65%)
Black alone (16.01%)
Native American alone (0.28%)
Asian alone (2.79%)
Pacific Islander alone (0.06%)
Some other race alone (3.33%)
Two or more races (2.88%)

That's not the full story, as Hispanics make up a large portion of those whites and Hispanics actually did vote in surprisingly high numbers for Trump. In fact, it was a talking point that you'd expect like 3% of Hispanics voting for Trump but it was much higher.

Currently, polls show a 30% support for Trump from the latino community. The Latino community is one of the poorest in the United States.

Liverpool’s humiliating exit from the CL suggests that they have been dominant in a poor league. In many ways the season ending early did them a favour as they were struggling to win a game.

Referring to minorities in general for Trump, and extremely high numbers of Black voters for Biden this time. Hilary beat Sanders in the primaries for the previous election and she herself was an obvious old school Democratic candidate. The black vote HEAVILY sways the Democratic primaries and they have yet to send a serious candidate who wants a universal healthcare system.

Once again, if Americans want to reform things they need to vote for candidates who want reform, the poorest people in America often, in droves, vote for candidates that want exactly the opposite of reform.

You forgotten Obamacare like?

Sanders would have lost heavily to Trump, his day was long gone. They voted for a candidate who has a better chance.

I quoted you Florida, but there was a bit info I purposely left out, but as you raise the question;

Racial/Ethnic Makeup of Florida excluding Hispanics from Racial Categories (2018)[2]
NH=Non-Hispanic
White NH (53.26%)
Black NH (15.27%)
Native American NH (0.19%)
Asian NH (2.72%)
Pacific Islander NH (0.05%)
Other race NH (0.38%)
Two or more races NH (2.00%)
Hispanic Any Race (26.12%)

They get some great choices when it's whittled down..... They don't get funded by people who don't have self interest either.

Bought and payed for politics in a so called democracy for dumb Americans ... Some intelligent people in the states I must say but the voting dumb public out number them..... Must be frustrating knowing you will never see harmony and community when so many don't see the game is rigged to hold us back

I would say politicians in Britain are often held accountable for their actions to a considerably greater extent than they are in the US. We see PM's resign all the time, there's an extremely high chance Trump can get re-elected.

And the UK Brexit vote was a radical vote for reform, while literal children are shot dead in the States and those reforms simply cannot happen. It's so impossible in fact that Obama cried on TV about it.

That’s one way of describing it I suppose. Sort of like describing voting for Stalin as a vote for high employment.

That's purely speculative.

I have not forgotten Obama care, I have also not forgotten that Obama care was not in anyway a move to a more universal healthcare, it was simply a bill that forced insurance firms to give people with preexisting conditions a chance to sign up. Donald Trump scrapped that bill, and received a "depressingly" high, not extremely high, or insanely high, but an uncomfortably high number of minority voters across the states.

Now, the next two Democratic primaries have produced and an extremely large support for status quo candidates with no real imagination nor desire for change. When there is a candidate, directly telling people he wants to give them a socialised healthcare system even the poorest people in America do not vote for him in a primary.

I won't go on the defensive, the previous US election was the Democrats too lose, minority voters have massive sway in those primaries and that primary resulted in Hilary Clinton who simply would not defeat Donald Trump.

Yes, and Trump won in Florida by around 100,000 votes, Donald Trump also received a depressingly high 24% (yes its gone up) of the Latino community. It's highly arguable that vote won him Florida.
