As 80-20 has always predicted, the impact of the 3/3 Super Tuesday primary would be unprecedented and the number of candidates would be halved after that primary.
Unfortunately, none of the two remaining candidates has replied to OUR questionnaire. The only candidate who did, Sen. Klobuchar, has withdrawn her candidacy. Disappointed? YES. Giving up? NO. Let's play the cards that are dealt us the best we can.
Hence, 80-20 SuperPAC's Board respectfully recommends that you
vote your conscience in remaining Democratic primaries,
but don't donate for now. Keep your powder dry until the
the general election begins, when 80-20 will make another
recommendation to you.
We'll then donate together to one candidate to increase our impact. That's how we'll get our political clout in order to protect ourselves. Things have gone badly against Chinese Americans. Beware! Worse could come! |
Have we LEARNT from the black community?
Sen. Biden's campaign was near death. However, in 100 hours the bloc vote by the black community in South Carolina lifted Biden to become the leading candidate. Do you think Biden will forget that help, if and when he gets into the White House? Do you think all potential Democratic presidential candidates are taking notes about the power of the black vote?
Politics is exchange of interests. Does the AsAm community possess enough interest to exchange with political VIPs? To be able to do so is why 80-20 EF and SuperPAC have existed. Please learn how AsAms may posses big interest to exchange with politicians, discussed below.
AsAms are disadvantaged politically, owing to our small numbers. Nationally, we have only 1/3 of the black population, and 1/4 of the black vote-share. We only have 8 to 16% of the vote-share in a CA primary, depending on voter turn-out. In comparison, the black community has a 60% vote-share in SC primary. Our saving grace is that CA has almost 10 times the Democratic delegates (415) to that of SC (54). A smaller vote-share coupled with a much larger delegate count can still give AsAms clout. However, we must be politically cohesive to do a bloc vote in order to deliver CA to our endorsed candidate.
If we can deliver CA to our endorsed candidate consistently, do you suppose we could induce all current and potential future presidential candidates to always be diligent in protecting our rights? THINK & ACT!
