I'm not sure yet tbh

Was all for Cornel West, but his not taking a hard stance on ANYTHING, also with his VP pick, a pan-Africanist who says reparations should be for "every Black person", I'm back to not voting unless someone stops playing.

All I want is an another entertaining debate between that KFC and McDouble eating Trump and Jim Crow Joe….

The last one they had in 2020 was funny.

Kanye

Kanye isn’t mentally sane enough to run this country…

Even Obama kept his emotions in check. They might kill Kanye because he’ll be leaking secret info

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Somebody PLEASE give me a sensical answer

You Brehs that keep talking about Biden supporting Israel.

Will Trump support Israel?

And will Trump be better or worse than Biden as far as protecting civilians?

Former Trump WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson: "It's really unfortunate that we see a lot of individuals who I once regarded as noble statesmen or the future of the Republican Party to disregard the rule of law and the Constitution in the way that they are now."

First Trump declares a President has absolute immunity. What could go wrong?

Now he says he's going to give the police force absolute immunity. What could go wrong?

Trump is setting up his own personal SS troops. Read history folks and you'll know where this is going.

2/2
And the question is, are we going to give him that power? Insane isn't it.

Black men grapple with election choices: 'We haven't heard anything from a Democrat or Republican'

In Detroit, a civic group led by Black men grapples with the disconnect between their community and the party politics of the presidential campaign.

DETROIT — On a rainy, cloud-muted evening, a group of Black men dressed all in black, some with handguns holstered to their hips and pamphlets in their hands, marched down one of the main strips of the west side of Detroit to a steady stream of handshakes and hugs.

“People know that we really put in work. They see us out here in the community,” the group’s leader, Zeek Williams, said between honks from passing cars and renditions of Detroit’s ubiquitous colloquial greeting, “Whatup Doe!"

DETROIT — On a rainy, cloud-muted evening, a group of Black men dressed all in black, some with handguns holstered to their hips and pamphlets in their hands, marched down one of the main strips of the west side of Detroit to a steady stream of handshakes and hugs.
“People know that we really put in work. They see us out here in the community,” the group’s leader, Zeek Williams, said between honks from passing cars and renditions of Detroit’s ubiquitous colloquial greeting, “Whatup Doe!”


“We gotta be out here,” Williams said. “We gotta be the ones to be out here to step with our people, make sure that we are, you know, putting on for the culture, as we like to say.”

Williams is the founder of New Era Detroit, a community-based organization that connects residents in some of the city’s most disinvested neighborhoods with badly needed resources. The needs include public safety, housing support and youth and political education programs, and the group does everything from armed patrols of crime hot spots to hosting massive community cleanup efforts and block parties that double as resource fairs. It’s always looking to secure grants and public funds to redistribute to neighborhoods in the most need.

Williams describes New Era Detroit’s role as filling the often-massive gap between the people and the politicians in his city. It’s not an explicitly political group. But it is a window into a key group of voters whom both parties are eyeing — and perhaps misunderstanding — ahead of the 2024 election: Black men.

Public opinion polls find that larger numbers of Black men are up for grabs now than in past elections. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are both making appeals to them. But there’s also a persistent sense among Williams and others in his orbit, in a battleground-state big city, that no one in the political world is really trying to build true relationships with Black people, especially Black men like those in New Era. Some are questioning not just whom to support for president but whether to vote at all.

Ngl I might sit this one out too.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

New Era got chapters in other cities too?

I'll read the rest of the article when I find some time but the Democrats believe they're above true community outreach.
So you get grassroots movements like this until they're coopted at a later date like BLM.

The problem is when people who are in poverty know they're politically/economically disadvantaged and aren't receiving
the help they need from their local, state or federal government who are then routinely asked to show up and "support"
every four years because it's always the "Greatest election of their lives".

The other three years, their lives are forfeit and their problems are their own.

No matter the party.

This is a massive disconnect and is part of the reason that fascism only grows in this country.

 

[Voice of Reason]

All this misinformation that the right wing is putting out is working.


Unless you are a multi millionaire no Black person should logically be thinking of voting republican.

Ngl I might sit this one out too.

Trump putting more right wingers on the courts is unacceptable.
