every relection-term republican improves with minorities going back to Nixon. IDK why people are so amped by this. Its the incumbency vote advantage.
A lot of republican insiders are saying Tim Scott will be Trump's VP candidate
- Thread starter ☑︎#VoteDemocrat
- Start date
Some Democrats sure know how to reframe a positive into a negative & then wonder why turnout is low. It's like a person in a homeless shelter complaining that they only received enough free food to eat for a week.Right on cue
Opinion: NAACP CEO: Biden's reported plan to cancel student debt isn't enough
According to CNN reporting, Biden might cancel just $10,000 of student loan debt per borrower for those earning less than $125,000 a year. That would do little to help.www.cnn.com
Yes. Canceling 'only' $10,000 in Student Loan Debt would be more impactful had it went further.
Yes. The climate bill would've been better had it went further.
That doesn't mean that both aren't historical. (Yes, part of the issue is the initial expectations prior to Manchin & Synema through a wrench in everything.)
I think it is framing like that NAACP article that reinforce the idea that Dems are the same as Republicans (even though Republicans don't want to cancel any of the debt). It leads to disillusionment and indifference and has been taking place w/ every single national progressive policy that has been passed. Not to mention the fact that Pell Grant recipients receive $20,000 instead of $10,000 (which covers 57% of African American college attendees)
Back to the topic at hand. I agree w/ you. Tim Scott running as a token is going to put a dent in the AfAm vote. The fact that a CTE-addled idiot is neck and neck with Warnock or that Willie Wilson always gets the majority of the black vote in Chicago despite being a yuck-mouthed idiot who is on record as voting for Trump is a sign that there are a lot of black people that just see skin color as a reason to vote for someone. Also, AfAm's are disproportionately experiencing crime and more likely to overcorrect to conservative ways a la the 1980s w/ Reagan/Bush.
Hoping Cheney runs as an independent to balance things out.

don't laugh... oh no, don't you dare laugh.... you are absolutely right, scott will not come anywhere close to carrying the black vote -- in any state... however, he doesn't need to... this is how trump won the first time.... he campaigned in detroit, one of the blackest cities in the country... he didn't win detroit, not even close... but he closed the margins enough that he won michigan -- and that's all he needed to do... picking scott will just get him enough black votes or black voters who stay home to just eek out a victory... we need to take this seriously...He'd be a fool
Black folks ain't supporting fukkin Tim Scott
picking scott as a running mate gives trump these advantages
- eases the guilt of white racists -- they can claim they can't be racist, they're supporting scott for vp
- expands black voter apathy -- if scott is a c00n, what is kamala...? she locked up black people for not going to school... derp!
- actually garners black voter support -- not every black person is a democratic voter and this is red meat to a black republican...
Charlamagne the God hinted at it too

Trump, Without the Presidency’s Protections, Struggles for a Strategy
Facing serious legal peril in the documents investigation, the former president has turned to his old playbook of painting himself as persecuted amid legal and political stumbles.
i still say kristi noem is trump or desantis' VP. shes getting the lowkey push from Fox, and adds white women in the suburbs. tim scott adds... what? i dont see it
nikki haley is an indian named nimrata, cosplaying as a white woman. MAGAs are not picking her i think shes angling for a big cabinet post

It's a new world out here. These kinds of historica parallels no longer hold any meaning. Political coalitions are shifting permanently.
Granted Obama gave minority voters reasons to shift their expectations and thus seek options elsewhere, the immediate racist reaction of his mere existence can’t be underestimated. Black voters have nowhere to go. This is why the shift is happening way faster with Hispanics who appear identity as white in many cases.
Desantis is not playing second fiddle once the OG republicans line up behind him.DeSantis not trump
GOP nominee will select Tim Scott for VP in 2024
Bridged the gap. He never really shytted on trump.
Haley is too much of fence rider for trump.

Yeah I see your point re: framing. The Dems have always been bad at politics - from framing to explaining.
What causes people to lapse into the "both sides" shyt is that you never see Dems really let their nuts hang and unapologetically exercise raw political power to benefit their supporters/constituents. Of course this is better than the status quo and will help MANY MANY MANY people. But politics is also about sending signals. The GOP never fails to fully exercise their power. And because of that, their base never goes away.
