2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[eXodus]

Based on my readings in TLR, it seems that despite being born here in America, being raised my entire life to love all my Black brothers and sisters, Team Reparations as well as ADOS considers me not "Black", despite the fact that my entire family is from the Caribbean (Trinidad and Dominica), that I am in fact descended from slaves, and that I have faced discrimination in this country just like any other person of African decent.

That's my views on reparations and ADOS

Damn that’s crazy... about to have a 1on1 w my supervisor, I’ll give a more detailed response when I get a chance this afternoon bro

The thing is, I'm starting to peep that people (and not bots mind you) on social media are starting to have the same views an opinions as those dudes in TLR where they legit think that because the Democratic Party hasn't specifically given Black people anything, that the logical step is to align with the GOP, who is actually actively doing shyt to harm Black people.

They believe that the Dems are specifically catering to LGBTQ folk and illegal immigrants, which in turn is essentially making them the "Black Wing" of the GOP.

These are ideas that are growing and getting louder too...

in reality, this is dumb logic...just like the blue collar/working class whites who align with the GOP, but, for blacks, it is rooted in resentment for loyalty that hasn't been rewarded and i don't blame them. i struggle with this myself. i don't know if this segment of blacks can grow into a large break off like the MAGA's/working class whites the dems lost last election, but it might become a thing and the dems need to worry about that. with a latino vote that may inch down to 60-40, or maybe even 50-50 someday, and losing whites, if they even lose 20% of our vote, it's a wrap


that's why i do think we need a third party, dems take us for granted while repubs enact laws that continue to disenfranchise us (dems have done this too), we need to either become more of an independent block or a 3rd party needs to pop up so people actually have to deliver results to attract votes/win office.

I think most of them are are misguided and are looking for ways to justify not voting at all, moreso than voting for Trump.
Even a lot of the propoganda we've seen is aimed at getting black people to stay at home. Both Russian propaganda and people like Tariq. I think it's working to some extent:

Russian online propagandists aggressively targeted African Americans during the 2016 US election campaign to suppress votes for Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump, according to new research.

Analysts found that Russian operatives used social media to “confuse, distract, and ultimately discourage” black people and other pro-Clinton blocs from voting, using bogus claims such as Clinton receiving money from the Ku Klux Klan.

Black turnout declined in 2016 for the first presidential election in 20 years, according to the US census bureau, falling to less than 60% from a record high of 66.6% in 2012. Exit polls indicated that black voters strongly favoured Clinton over Trump.

Russian propagandists targeted African Americans to influence 2016 US election

I personally think it's disgusting how reparations are so divisive with seemingly all white people, that the Democrats act "scared" to support it. Even further how it's so hard for politicians to explain how they intend to help in general. But to fall for the BS and refuse to vote (often even on local elections) or vote Republican is some real retard behavior.

Peace bro. I consider myself a believer in the ADOS movement and I find anyone saying that you ain’t fam because your people’s are from the Caribbean to be full of shyt. We all fam and the founder Antonio Moore would say the same. I love all black people and consider you as my brother (plus I fux w u cuz you got the name exodus too lol)

I try not to engage in petty back and Forths on here because it becomes divisive after a while and people start saying shyt just to be right that’s hurtful to others. Just know that’s not in the true spirit of the ADOS movement and that true ADOS folk should be lovers of black people no matter where they were colonised or enslaved.

So if a nikka say otherwise don’t pay what shyt no mine family

 

[dtownreppin214]

This isn’t true. Black people are more left leaning on every issue than white people. Where do you guys come up with this stuff? Now if you’re trying to say that we are more conservative in a lot of the LGBTQ stuff then you’d have a point but again, we have voted Democrat for years consistently while not being fully on board. It was Obama who recognized transgenders. Didn’t hurt his standing at all. Most people just think those dudes are weird but vote Democrat anyway.

White people or white Dems? I'm referring to white Dems....immigration, LGBTG, religious freedom are issues black dems are more conservative on. Obama is Obama he got a pass from black folks for a lot of things.

It's public frustration with a party that can't win congressional elections unless the country is in dire straights, that can't fund raise well outside of Pelosi, that doesn't back up it's own members at times.

Because 'Americans Need Relief Now' From 'Insane' Drug Costs, Sanders to Join Diabetics on Trip to Canada for Affordable Insulin

Bernie is accompanying Americans going to Canada to get affordable medication.

And he's been doing this since 1999, when Chief Jay Strongbow Elizabeth Warren was still a Republican.

kamala throwing shots @ warren having plans on breakfast club...it's on.

kamala said she doesn't roll out tons of plans because she's into proposals that are achievable...um, that's exactly why Warren's attracts people, Warren has PLANS that are actionable, not a bunch a waffling statements where no one can hold you to any one position
