Pres. Biden Helping AsAms to Turn Things Around?

Please note from the above table that   1) whenever 80-20 endorses with reservation, the advantage to the endorsed presidential candidate, seen on the extreme right column, would decrease. They occurred in 2004 and 2016. and   2) the maximum advantage to the endorsed candidate reached 47 points in 2012 for Obama!      In 2020, Biden Lost 1 million AsAm Votes & Won 3 states barely! He could do much better       In 2020, Biden didn’t answer 80-20’s questionnaire. Hence, as much as 80-20 opposed Trump's candidacy for his use of “Chinese virus”, “China virus” and “Kung Flu”, 80-20 didn’t endorse Biden. Result? AsAms' vote for Biden was only 61% to 34%, according to a NY Times exit poll. Biden’s winning margin from AsAms was only (61-34)% = 27 points. That is 20 pts less than Obama. 20 pts less is a decrease of 1.04 million AsAm votes in the winning margin for Biden, because about 5.2 million AsAms voted in 2020.       Biden won GA, AZ and WI by 0.2%, 0.3% & 0.7% respectively. Had he done as well with AsAms as Obama, he would have won GA, AZ and WI by 1.1%, 1.0% & 1.3% respectively.        Why Didn’t Biden Do As Well with AsAms in 2020?      Two reasons.  (1) Biden didn't answer 80-20’s questionnaire. Hence, 80-20 did NOT endorse Biden. 80-20’s ability to persuade AsAms to vote for those candidates who care for our rightful concerns is irrefutable, as the table at the top of the page has shown. For those who don't believe in my statement, click here to visit 80-20's e-newsletter Poster Boards. Week after week, readers of 80-20's e-newsletters would not only donate significant $$$ but also thank 80-20 for its service and dedication to AsAms.  (2) Most AsAms are opposed to "race preference college admissions", which AsAm Democratic politicians support fervently. So a fraction of AsAm voters who would normally vote for Biden went for Trump to register their unhappiness with the Dem. Party. To illustrate, every AsAm Dem. politician & organization supported CA Prop. 16, which would revert CA's college admissions to "race preference", but Prop 16 was defeated by a landslide in as Democratic a state as CA. Dems need to wake up! Recent Extraordinary Efforts By Pres. Biden to Help AsAms  (A) Since being elected, Pres. Biden has made superb efforts to emphasize that Asian Americans are an integral part of America, including  (1) Presidential Memo (1/26/21) "condemning ..xenophobia ..against AsAms (2) A video taped by both Pres. and Mrs. Biden (2/12/21) wishing A         Happy Lunar New Year for the AsAm community & condemning racism. (3) Biden's nat'l speech (3/11/21) on !the anniversary of Covid-19 lockdown:       He specifically stated: "Vicious hate crimes against Asian Americans,...       — our fellow Americans .....", (4) Pres. Biden flew with V.P. Harris on (3/20/21)to Atlanta, Georgia to meet       with AsAm  leaders to denounce anti-AAPI violence , and  (5) Another Executive Order (3/30/21) proposing 4 specific actions, which         included the appropriation of $49.5 million from the American Rescue        Plan for AAPI survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.  80-20 believes Biden's superb efforts, shown above, will put a STOP to the “perpetual foreigners plight of AsAms". As a result, AsAms, including Ch-Ams are NOW much less likely to be interned, even assuming an armed conflict were to arise between the US and China. Needless to day, we ourselves must strive to refute that image. (B) Biden will appoint a senior level AAPI liaison at the White House “who will ensure the community’s voice is further represented and heard," owing to the political courage of Senators Duckworth* (IL) and Hinoro (HI). However, 80-20 warns that whether such an office will help our community depends on the quality of the appointee. He/she must be a person who has the political courage of going to bat for AAPI's rightful concerns.      Is Pres. Biden really helping AsAms to turn things around? We hope so!

2 good tidings - 80-20 had a BIG hand in both

Two Great Tidings!

(1) From Wall Street Journal, we see this headline

After Anti-Asian Violence, 

Volunteers Take to Streets to Form Patrols

(2) From Washington Post, we see another exciting headline:

White House promises AAPI liaison 

after ultimatum from Sens. Duckworth, Hirono

80-20 Had a BIG Hand In Both Good Tidings

(1) For Good Tiding 1 on community patrol, see 80-20's contribution via its e-newsletter of 7 days ago.

    80-20 shall finance up to $200,000 to help seed COMMUNITY WATCH patrol teams in our ethnic communities i.e. Korean-, Indian-, Vietnamese-, Filipino-, Japan-, & Chinatowns. To APPLY for 80-20's grant, click here. Then go to Section [B], 3rd paragraph.

(2) For Good Tiding 2 regarding AAPI liaison at the White House, 80-20 might well be the first AsAm organization to propose the idea. On Dec. 1, 2019, 80-20 sent then candidate Biden a questionnaire. Its Q4 asked Biden to set up a liaison office, if elected:

         "(4) If elected, will you create a special office in the White House, 

           whose director will have the equivalent rank of an Assistant

           Secretary, while having the direct access to the Director of the

           FBI, to receive complaints from Asian Americans regarding

           being racially profiled?" 

    We are grateful that Senators Duckworth of IL and Hinoro of HI got that job done for the AsAm community.

 

      But we need a good person in that office for it to be effective. We've had many AsAms in high political offices who not only didn't know the plight of our community but also refused to serve our rightful interests because they wanted to be identified as whites. Therefore, don't relax yet!

Elect Those Politicians Who Share Our Concerns

    Duckworth has launched her re-election bid for 2022. For donation to her click here. 80-20 Empowerment PAC shall donate $8,020. Please help thank her by donating $80.20. That way Sen. Duckworth will know that the donations come from 80-20 supporters who reward her for good service but not because she is an AsAm. If you want to donate more than $80.20, simply donate $80.20 several times, up till a maximum of $5,600. Let me know, after you've donated. Thank you. :-)

Is Senator Marsha Blackburn of TN a Hate Monger?

 

      When Americans nationally condemn hate crimes against Asians, Blackburn still has on her tweet-post: "China has a 5,000 year history of cheating and stealing. Some things will never change…” Incredibly, directly below the above hateful tweet, she also showed her hate against her own senate leader Sen. McConnell*, who has a Chinese Am. wife, Elaine Chao. Click here to witness her hate against AsAms, the McConnells* and the Democrats. Peace & prosperity of our nation require thoughtful hard work. Will Sen. Blackburn's unique hateful personality serve TN & America well?

• Since yesterday, this "hate the McConnells" tweet has been shifted behind hundreds of other related tweets. If you search for it, it's still there.
