If every AKA in the country votes for Kamala, does that mean she has "the black vote"...?

If Biden secures the vote of every black church lady in the south, does that mean he has "the black vote"...?

If Marianne Williamson has the vote of everybody with the ADOS hashtag in their twitter profile, does that mean she has "the black vote"...?

If almost every black professional along the east coast (and on okp) likes Warren, does that mean she has "the black vote"...?


I don't know. It just seems like this monolith paradigm is becoming increasingly outdated... at least to adjudicate such a competitive primary. I almost think candidates should do the reverse... like just look at the segments you are appealling to and if a sizeable proportion of a particular segment is black (or another minority), then make sure you have intersectional outreach eg. Biden with older and faith-based democrats. But just some blanket "black outreach" strategy?? That seems like it would be ineffective because there are very distinct segments with such different priorities (and aversions).
