Would you look at that? Democrats acting like an adult, admitting defeat, not trying to throw an insurrection because they lost. At least one party cares about democracy

All of them. ALL. OF. THEM.
Yep. The jig is up. The marketing on white women is fake news.
They are not a winnable block of potential girl boss voters that will set us all free.
They are the Scottie Pippens of white supremacy.

You Canadians will be creating your own Trump anyway. I have heard their is a pushback against Indian immigrants. A smart politician will exploit it

Black people politically (and therefore economically) are in quite the conundrum for the next few, maybe several political cycles. It's apparent that most people like democratic policies, they just don't like the people/messaging.
To me if you're strictly talking about 'winning', the obvious thing to do is pivot away not only the obvious shyt like lgbtq,...but also from black centered issues (like Affirmative Action, Black history, equalizing black education, police reform, etc).
As we get further away from the outright overt racism and as pockets of black people start to gain more wealth, while also being targeted by disinformation.....there's gonna be a weaker voting bloc. And those people will become the new grandma/dads. That 65+ black voting block that put black interests first, will not be as strong by the time 2040s come around nor will have the same influence on younger people that the current elder generation has.
I can see the Dems going more progressive, while also more common sense.
But I can also see them going with what the country is saying to them, more right wing, more white, something worse possibly worse for black people than Clinton/Crime Bill Joe. If it goes that way, the Overton Window shifting right will severely diminish black people's political capital......especially if Repubs are able to not "overly' fukk over everyday white people and solidify a 'white' hispanic base. And with how the Fox News-ification of social media and youtube, I can't see a strong 3rd party rising. It might end up taking a Brexit/Argentina type of fukk up to for the majority to pivot back left.
the dark thing is, even though we know in 2020 that people weren't "for" Biden and he was riding the wave of brutality and protests.....somehow it feels like we still ended up underestimating how much the summer of 2020/George Floyd allowed the Dems to squeak into office.
