Anyone else nervous about the election?

[IIVI]

Like I said in the other thread, not really. I already put my vote in.

Twitter represents less than 5% of the global population and a lot of those people are bots.
A lot of people on Twitter aren't even from America. So you're reading some racist, Far Right, Fascist European's take about our election.

Most Americans in real life aren't on Twitter. You see your reasonable co-workers spending all day on that app?
The app is filled with majority mentally unstable people.
A lot of young people on that app talking MAGA aren't even going to go vote. They're all talk.

Don't fall for the survivorship bias thinking it's the real world.

Now, in the real world:
Swing votes are the most critical, mostly concerned with the issues and policies - those aren't going to Trump.
Record turnout so far most likely indicates a heavy Liberal showing.
Kamala is landsliding them on November 5th.

So at best Kamala wins and we remain comfortably in the status quo. At worst Trump wins and things go really bad for black people. This is where black people will have a true realization they are living in white supremacy. Because right now,its just something cute to say honestly. We dont move like we live in white supremacy. Escalation will potentially force more black people to consider moving entirely out of the country. No matter how you slice it,its a win win from my perspective. Or you could say "lose lose" if your a glass half empty type of person

one of the dumbest posts i’ve read today, and this forum has produced its fair share of stupidity all afternoon.

the “worst” that you cavalierly submit to consists of:

- a militarized police state stripped of all accountability and given a green light to brutalize black people at will.

- the removal of practically all black federal workers, which would decimate the black middle class.

- public schools would be forced to end the teaching of anything centered around black history.

- black seniors would face an end to the safety net upon which most of them depend for basic subsistence.

this is just the tip of the iceberg.

idgaf

My qualify of life has not dipped in like twenty years and will continue to stay the same or get better

I will do what I think any sane blk person would do

Raise a black family, get MONEY, live well and in the meantime at least vote for the interest of poor blacks and less fortunate people

Simple to me

Will be voting democrat tomorrow I need my lil sticker

meaningless babble

It's like the battle of dumb, redundant smilies whenever you and @Still Benefited quote each other. Hilarious.

The biggest mind fukk for confused Black folks witnessing what you foretell will be them trying to seek answers from the Black public figures that endorsed these Nazi's in the first place and told Black voters there were benefits to siding and riding with Neo fascists..

No matter who is in office, my family will be fine. I don't allow hysterics to control me, though I always have plans in place to deal with various circumstances.

So no, I am not worried about the outcome of this election.

No.

-You already live in a militarized police state where theres little to no accountability.

-As far as the middle class,its been in decline

"A study based on government data released by the Washington-based nonpartisan fact tank in late May found that the share of Americans living in middle-class households dropped from 61 percent in 1971 to 51 percent in 2023."

Are you under the impression that black middle class would sustain,while white middle class slowly dwindles? What happened to the trickle down effect youve all been raving about? Lets not get black specefic all of a sudden since yall dont care about black agendas/black specefic policy.


-As far as schools are concerned,welcome to white supremacy. Black history was never properly taught in school anyway. You do understand its history written by our colonizers. Could care less if they teach that watered down garbage or not actually. But i understand some black people do on principle. Dont see how this will be something crippling for black people


-As far as the elders,could you possibly be fear mongering or projecting?

Fact-checking warnings from Democrats about Project 2025 and Donald Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has warned Americans about "Trump’s Project 2025" agenda — even though former President Donald Trump doesn’t claim the conservative presidential transition document.

www.pbs.org

"Trump’s campaign website says that not “a single penny” should be cut from Social Security. We rated Harris’ claim that Trump intends to cut Social Security Mostly False."




Yall said we didnt need a black specefic agenda and to buckle our bootstraps. So that means you dont care about Affirmative Action,race based incentives etc. This is that cruel unforgiving loop of circular logic,where your own logic comes back to haunt you. If we dont need black agendas and policy from Dems. Why do you care about the ones being stripped away?

Could it be yall dont actually believe that nonsense and are just providing cover for Kamala and the Dems?

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Yes, legit yes. Had this conversation with myself today driving home that boils down to this. Hope it helps others but I'm still stressed AF

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

All we can do is VOTE and encourage others to do the same

Not even politics related but I needed this quote today

Sucks that Kamala is an awful politician because I can't stomach another four years of Trump

shut your dumb ass up.

your family won’t be “fine” if trump wins, dimwitted motherfukker.

and, quite frankly, i feel sorry that your family depends upon such a weak and impotent patriarch.

she’s doing great.

there hasn’t been this much defecting from the ranks of republicans since bill clinton’s first campaign.

your lot never shies from telling us how uneducated, uninformed and disconnected from the facts on the ground you are.

i honestly think @Uachet is slow.

 

[Uachet]

Fine how??

I am a man with money who have already prepared my wife and daughter to leave if things go left. I am staying here and fighting, because I am ill, so may as well go out taking a few with me if it came to that. What I will not do is think voting alone will protect us, because it will not.

So many of you seem so afraid, but fear without action is just a waste of time.
