Politico: Democrats Underperforming W/ Black Voters

[Professor Emeritus]

What did I make up?

I am politically engaged. I stated - that Medicare for All and Student Loans will never pass. It won't. Like you stated -- as your candidate of choice has stated -- reparations won't pass. Why -- because it isn't politically feasible - correct?


So, if it isn't politically feasible -- why even sign H.R. 40? Why waste time -- and pander? He doesn't thing it will pass. Will he remove his name from H. R. 40 if we request he does? Is can be set up.

70% of Americans support Medicare for All
58% of Americans support eliminating student debt

29% of Americans support reparations


That's the clearest fukking answer I can give you. Your attempt to equate them and then psychoanalyze Bernie based on that is just stupid. He thinks its feasible to campaign for and work towards shyt supported by the majority of Americans, but believes that only H.R. 40 is currently possible for something barely even supported by 1/4th of Americans.

Will the current Senate pass Medicare for All and forgiving student loans? No, the current Senate is run by Republicans who won't pass shyt. Would a Sanders win combined with flipping some Senate seats and that majority public support make Medicare for All and forgiving student loans possible in the near future? Yes.

Can you campaign on Medicare for All and forgiving student loans and win? Yes. Can you campaign on reparations and win? No.

As I said, you keep saying dumb shyt you made up in your own head when the obvious receipts and numbers with the obvious explanation are laid out right in front of you.

This is true. Outside of bernie im only voting for warren or steyer.

However that doesn't mean we're the same.

1. Im actually advocating and pushing my candidate of choice and thus my agenda. While yall have spent the last 2 years on "fuk duh democrats" and shytting on immigrants; getting no closer to reparations in spite of it being a part of the 2020 dem agenda.

2. I make my political decisions based on my beliefs and convictions, not twitter philosophers.

3. Bernie and thusly my agenda are currently winning because some folks are doing and some are just talking shyt

At least we can still post hyon and call people "c00ns" tho, right? #silverlining

Oh, yours is different, huh? Lol calling others retarded when you’re taking part in retarded behavior if your candidate isn’t elected.

The bold is a lie. I ain’t shyt on naan immigrant, as pointing out the wealth of others or pointing out their standing here in the states isn’t “shytting” on anyone. I’ve also acknowledged many times, while I’m not a fan of the Democrats, I will vote for one. I have said for months how I plan to vote for a Democrat. As for pushing an agenda, my agenda....there’s many of us who have been doing just that. You know that, too. That’s the funny thing.

You never bought up John Conyers until I bought him up. In fact, for you to go for 2 whole years and not mention John Conyers by his name while the whole reparations movement was going down, says how self-centered you were about the movement. If I didnt bring his name up, you would have never mentioned his name, and that is beyond disrespectful.

I'm doing far more than "shaming" people, I do support grassroots level black organizations and black owned businesses on the regular. Reparations will come, just that you gotta see how leeches will come out and do anything for a check, even by selling out other black people and even their individual dignity.

Let me get this straight -- I'm selfish -- cause I didn't share that during that time I was in undergrad as a PRE-LAW major - before I changed to Business that I interned for John Conyers. Come on...

Since DAY ONE on this forum I have been about Black respect -- more so our ancestors and respecting them. ADOS history and genealogy -- so miss me with I didn't bring up Mr. Conyers -- I didn't have too -- cause it wasn't necessary. But, when it was -- I did. I will continue too.

And this ain't never been about a check -- so again -- you are misinformed -- it's about a check and more. I don't care what you do. This aint about you.

You brought up H.R. 40 -- like the others in this thread who ride Bernie Ballsack to get your student debt wiped out -- to get us to be quiet and ...act like that man doing something -- and he aint -- he don't even support reparations -- and like others have shared don't think it will pass.

Out of respect -- the man should remove his name from H.R. 40 and be real.

Don't care. It won't pass.

Some posters are hopeless. Misinformed and arrogant. Broke. And crabs-in-a-barrel.

Statistically, most black Americans are broke. Calling them out on that and trying to use it as an insult isn’t going to win you over many folks.

I don’t live in a bubble so anything I do will obviously have an effect on others. So I’m good on your permission to do what I was going to do anyway breh

Voting is a personal transaction. I’m beholden to no ones interest but my own. So like I stated earlier, if I decide to cast a vote, it will be for a candidate that speaks to my own interest, not yours. That’s what your vote is for bytch nikka

Try not to cry next time I criticize you for your libertarian drivel - voting isn’t a personal transaction - it’s the literal election of a representative for legislative or executive purposes

or he could go to ados101 website and take a few of those bullet points. Respectfully, everything listed could be reappropriate for white people. In terms of stopping redlining, that would really only help upper middle class black people. There are quite a few HBCU’s with more white people than black. of the top of my head Northern Kentucky University White People Are Becoming The Majority Of HBCU Students, Report Finds

THIS HAS PERSONALLY EFFECTED YOU
IN WHAT WAY?

my taxes went up

Yeah, let's look at some actual receipts. Bernie's been talking about needing to fight the racial wealth gap and discriminatory policing for 30 years and that shyt is all over his promises for the presidency.

Bernie Sanders on Racial Justice




His specifics include:

1. End continued redlining and other forms of housing discrimination against black folk that still persist
2. Federal job guarantee
3. Ensure quality education for children across the board
4. Make tuition free for all students at public universities and HBCUs
5. Increase public funding for HBCUs
6. Cover all other college costs for students from families making under $25,000/year
7. End the affordable housing crisis and create a path to wealth building through homeownership
8. Raise the minimum wage to a living wage
9. End racial discrimination in the financial services sector
10. Protect minority communities from pollutant exposure like what happened to Flint
11. Identify and fix the underlying causes that lead to a higher mortality rate among black children and black mothers.
12. Institute Jim Clyburn’s 10-20-30 proposal for distressed communities.
13. Establish a commission to study and research reparations (H.R. 40)


Receipts:

Racial Justice


Or here: Bernie Sanders on Black Rights




And there's much more on that page as well.

That's a shytload of receipts and some really far-reaching policies for someone who "doesn't give a shyt" about Black folk.

I'm talking about the outlier of the small percentage of black posters that think that not voting will get them closer to their goals, and making other black people miserable with them. Thats crabs in a barrel mentality with the misinformation is only aiding white supremacists. Most of these posters who on that "no voting" nonsense don't care about the well being of Black America.

 

[Wild self]

Why is this always the go-to for folks. Self-projection like a MF.

If You broke and you doing actions that ensure a better future by taking the proper steps, I wish you the best.

If You broke and you telling people not to vote or not to do anything long term, thats crabbish and ignorant. Theres a difference between the 2.

What¿!? I care very deeply about all of black America I'm pissed off because ever since Obama's second term I see voting for these big elections doesn't change shyt we still at the bottom and your only choice to others is to keep voting democratic?!?

Local elections matter a lot, as well.

Reparations: Many black Americans are still experiencing social and economic disadvantages as a result slavery in America. Bernie supports establishing a commission to study and research reparations for American descendants of slaves as well as investing resources into distressed communities.

LIE: Bernie does not support reparations. And think's it's not politically feasible to pass. Should be removed from his website.

-------------

Civil Rights Record:
Bernie’s civil rights record has earned him one of the highest scores given to a U.S. Senator and a 100 percent score from the NAACP.

LIE: Come on....



------------
Crime BILL:
In Congress, Bernie opposed the 1991 crime bill that he believed would disproportionately punish people of color — especially African Americans.

LIE:
Sen. Bernie Sanders: 'Not happy' I voted for 'terrible' 1994 crime bill - CNNPolitics
Bernie Sanders voted for the 1994 tough-on-crime law. But it's complicated.
