It doesn't seem stronger. It is stronger. And, I don't know how many times I have to say this, it doesn't matter how strong it actually is, because black people are going to the polls everywhere where they haven't been removed or blocked from voting to vote against the racist in office.
Dude, you keep approaching this conversation like I am someone who can put eggs in a basket.
I am a black man, with black and Asian people all over my family. I am voting against Trump. Period. I am completely focused on whoever can beat Trump by the widest margin. If Kamala wins the nomination and ekes out a victory, that's not much of a win. We need seats in the House and the Senate. And the best way to get them is to get white people--many of whom will not vote for a black person, or a woman, or a gay man, or an old Jew to pull the lever for the entire Democratic ticket wherever the fuck they are.
I'm with you there, brother.

By the way, if your point is that the Dems need a candidate who really speaks to those white rural & working class voters, the calendar is going to reflect that bias, because those voters are all over Iowa and NH. So Biden is going to be tested in a field that is biased in favor of that group. We'll see how he does, if you are right, he should clean up. If he gets beaten in one or both of those will you be rethinking? If he gets absolutely clobbered in one?
I generally think you are right that we are going to see strong black voter turnout regardless of who is the candidate. I'm actually more worried about Hispanic voter turnout. I think Republican voter suppression tactics are really targeted there, and they know what they are doing.
