      I never said it was impossible, just that one subset of the voting population was likely larger than another. Obama getting elected didn’t end racism, it was just a victory in spite of it. Honestly, part of the rise of White Nationalism might even be attributable to his election, making racism worse.

      Why is race a topic? Because there’s a bunch of voting idiots who make their choice based on it. If the candidate doesn’t bring other votes with them somehow, it just makes it that much harder.
