I didn't go that deep. I did look around and find that 52% of California's immigrant population are now naturalized citizens, but that wasn't broken down by country of origin.
We have about 11M immigrants out of a population of ~40M. Less than 1M of them (969K) are from China. Assuming we just spitball it and say that we apply the 52% to those, you get ~500K votes. The woman from Chicago from New York on the D ticket won the state by over 4M votes.
I'm guessing the Chinese could do a lot better by following the Russian model.
The guy who tried to extort Ukraine into announcing an investigation that they were the source of Russian election meddling by not selling them military gear, after Russia annexed the Crimea from the Ukraine, isn't their guy? The guy who didn't listen to any intelligence briefings that the Russians were offering the Taliban bounties on American servicemen, and continues to pooh-pooh the story, isn't their guy? The guy who is asking to let them into the G7 isn't their guy? The guy who walked away from Syria creating a power vacuum for Russia to fill isn't their guy?
All due respect, doctor Bwarn, your missing with most of this.
First, look at my original post which referred to Asian, NOT just Chinese immigrants.
Also, my point was a straw-man. Why you are talking about how many votes did what in the last election is moot. Between New York and California there are roughly 2mm Chinese immigrants certainly More than enough to sway a hypothetical election, which was my point about the EC. ( did not even mention North Koreans)
lastly, your theories about “ the guy” are just that. Many, including me, would suggest that the known facts don’t support most of your take. Of course, you may be right, his political opponents spend roughly 2.5 years and $35mm of taxpayers money trying to prove some of your theory, and obviously fell embarrassingly short. They also spent another 6-8 months and untold dollars ( estimates are around $6-8mm) trying to prove other parts of your theory, and again fell embarrassingly short. And the second attempt clearly took everyone’s eye of the ball with respect to the pandemic.
Notice those times frames. That’s right, over 3 years of a 3 3/4 term, they were busy trying their hardest to bring the guy down, yet noticeably absent from literally any other significant accomplishments, or even attempts at them. That doesn’t even include the proof we now have about the efforts to derail him before he was even elected. These are the same people who did find tons of time and energy to try to derail the life and nomination of a SCOTUS nominee, and his family, based on false accusations with exactly zero evidence.
As for Syria, well you just have to know that a move,like that is going to be criticized by 50% or more, but not making that move would as well. It takes some courage to actually do it. Besides, all the talking heads said he was going to get us into a war....still waiting on that one.
A good case could be made that the guy has been as tough on Russia as the last few who held the office, combined.
So you will have to pardon me, for despite the fact I think he is a pompous, doofus with the worst communication skills I have ever seen in the office, and I don’t like guy one bit, when I look around at the political landscape, I see nobody that can claim superiority or who can say they were fruitful these last almost 4 years. And don’t even start on things a POTUS did or didn’t do that are illegal, or unsavory without going back to the last POTUS... Cash pallets for hostages, creating vacuums for terrorists, etc...
But Bwarn, I do luv ya man.
