Joe Biden having that black vote burns republicans and progressives ass.
I think its overplayed and is a bad look to get on biden for that
If anything it might make the older voters harden their support for him

i wish more black men would recognize this, feels like many black men want black women to just care about their black struggle and not voice frustration with/fight back against their struggle as women, specifically the double edge sword of being a black woman, as well.
He's an old man doing old man shyt.
Age is interesting to me because if this were about race people would say he was pandering by not being authentic.
Joe Biden's real nikkas vote tour hosted by Da Baby 
the CBC is our lobbyist group.
they asked for specific things for blacks with healthcare. Warren And Bernie said no.
Biden said yes. We have Biden’s ear way more than other candidates. That’s why I can’t understand why ppl would chastise the only candidate actually meeting with and helping with black issues.
he’s said yes to soooo many policies we’ve been asking for. He listens to us
THIS X 1000Black men vote at relatively low rates so of course politicians will be less inclined to address our issues
That's why Tariq's whole strategy of telling black people to vote even less
People that think withholding a vote is a threat are idiots. That just gets you ignored. It's worse than saying you'll vote for someone else.
I can’t consider the CBC a lobbying group, when they get lobbied themselves. There are good CBC members but as a whole they have a lot of corporate interest that don’t necessary line up with improving the Black community.

Biden retains lead in national poll
Former Vice President Joe Biden retained the lead in a national poll released Tuesday.
The Morning Consult poll shows Biden reaching 29 percent support nationally among registered voters likely to vote in a Democratic primary or caucus. He maintains a 9 percentage point lead over runner-up Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) nationally.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) slides into third place nationally with 15 percent support, followed by South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 9 percent.
But among the “Early Primary State Voters” Biden’s lead at 25 percent shrinks to 5 percentage points over runner-up Sanders. Buttigieg jumps into third with 13 percent support in these states, followed by Warren with 12 percent.
The former vice president’s lead has dropped to its lowest point since he has announced his candidacy in April. Biden’s and Sanders’s support each fell 1 percentage point since last week.
Warren has experienced a 6 percentage point drop since her highest point from Sept. 29 to Oct. 20. Buttigieg, on the other hand, has risen in the polls 4 percentage points from his stagnant 5 percent status from mid-August to mid-October.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gained traction in the poll since his announcement to officially enter the race last week, jumping to 5 percent support and tying Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) for fifth place nationally.
Behind them, entrepreneur Andrew Yang has 4 percent, and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and philanthropist Tom Steyer sit at 2 percent.
Morning Consult interviewed 15,773 registered voters likely to vote in the Democratic primary or caucus. The poll was conducted between Nov. 25 and Dec. 1 and had a margin of error of 1 percent nationally and 4 percent among early primary state voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

Corporate interests and Black issues aren't mutually exclusive.
You can not put black politicians in the same box as white ones when it comes to the corporate money they receive. Alot African American house members wouldn't be able to campaign without corporate dollars because they represent poorer black districts. Their constituents cant support them monetarily as other candidates could.
Thats why the Collective Pac The Collective PAC | Fighting for Equal Representation a black owned superpac is against progressive Democrats eliminating Super Pacs. We rely on that money to bring our issues to the forefront.
Too many progressive voters on this forum, think black politicians should mirror what white progressive candidates do. No corporate money, no pacs etc. Maybe 2-3 black candidates can pull that off, the rest sadly can not.
We have to start thinking of progressive policies from a Black viewpoint instead of a Monolithic white one. If you all continue to just believe in what white progressive candidates tell you what to think, "what's fair", "what represents the middle class" you guys are going to vote for positions that will kill movements any black candidates will have.
You're killing the movement without even realizing it, it's scary to read what some of the "progressive" people in here post, while not understanding how it will negatively impact Black politicians representing black populations.
We don't always fit in the box the progressive white liberals say everyone should.
I wonder who she's going to endorse.
