Brother, my criticism of Kamala is not hate, I’m not obligated to support her by default because she’s the only “African American” candidate on the stage, that would be the definition of identity politics.
Nothing I’m saying on a sub-forum on the Coli is helping republicans, I would not be this open in my views or criticism on twitter or any non-anonymous forum at this point in the primary election for that reason alone, to publicly stay on code. I voice this with you all because I see you as my brother, even if our views differ.
I would never do anything to help the republicans but in the face of so many years of black American suffering, who is truly intending to help us?
I think that is a fair question.. it was in 1865, was nearing 100 years later in 1964.. is in 2019..
We’re looking to make sure it isn’t a question that needs to be asked in 2065, which at this rate it will be....

Democratic Presidential Candidates Need to Stop Taking Unpopular Stances
Democrats have lots of room to run to attack President Trump from the left on economic and social policy while placing themselves on the right side of public opinion. And while the party as a whole has done so, the presidential contenders have been jostling to stand out by adopting a series of highly unpopular stances. To date, the following positions have been taken by some or all the candidates: replace all employer-provided private insurance with a government plan; decriminalize the border while also providing subsidized health insurance to undocumented immigrants; and provide reparations for the descendants of American slaves.
All these positions would likely be serious liabilities in a general election. What’s more, none of them would appear to stand any plausible chance of enactment in the next administration, given that the (current) House majority and (prospective, unlikely) Senate majority both require the support of Democrats far to the right of the presidential field. So these risks the candidates are taking do not bring with them a concurrent benefit. They’re not laying the ground for a sweeping new progressive agenda they can pass in 2021. They’re merely seeding Donald Trump’s attack ads.
They're really jumping out the window trying to appeal to the far left and a handful of people on twitter, shyt is truly mind blowing. Harris was doing so well in that debate....then she literally said she's coming for the guns (mandatory gun buyback). What the fukk are you doing?
This reminds me so much of 2012 brehs. The GOP primary forced Romney so far right as he tried to overcome multiple insane candidates/opponents. By the time he finally secured the nomination, he had a record of outrageous statements he had to defend. Obama torched him that summer with nonstop negative ads, and it changed the race. That's why Romney winning the first debate didn't end Obama...he was so far ahead that he could afford to take some losses.
Granted Trump isn't going to torch anyone in a debate...but he has plenty of money to replicate Obama's strategy and slam the dem candidate all summer, right after he/she wins the nom. This primary battle is going to take some time brehs. There's going to be a lot of bullshyt. The sooner this process reduces to the only candidates who fukking matter (Biden, Warren, Sanders, Harris, Pete, Beto...then maybe Castro or Booker), the better.
