The usual suspects are missing from this thread 
Why are you asking what cacs will do for you, don't you have any self-respect? Start by asking if they can stop destroying shyt, which one side specializes in. I get a headache hearing people say "hey the clown gave black people checks" (all of which was eaten up by inflation that followed, and also the fact that it was congress and that the amount given was a compromise with the dems who wanted to give more).1. Left wing, right wing. The bird is White Supremacy. Covert vs. overt.
2. If Black people vote Democrat at around 90% by default, no matter how they are mistreated, why WOULDN'T they have a problem with this? VERY simple logic here, brehs.
3. A Democrat will likely win this new district, what will they DO to improve the lives of Black people there, or will the status quo just continue?
The day people stop waiting for those guys to make your life better, in that very instance your life trajectory improve. Just like the Asians, where damn near half of them barely vote.
What needs to be done can't be said on the innawaves
I'd be shocked if that poster is a black man.
I don't know any grown black man the devoid of critical thinking skills.
The poster is white which is why they can talk complete nonsense yet experience no cognitive dissonance

Imagine supporting a party that blatantly tells you they want less democracy instead of more.
They oppose redistricting to give a more representative picture of who lives in an area.
They oppose election day as a national holiday.
They tried to get rid of mail in ballots.
Their last president won because of an anti democratic institution (the electoral college) and got a law reversed by using an unelected branch of government(the Supreme court)
These are the defenders of democracy?

Who Is Konstantin Nikolaev? Putin Ally Behind Mike Johnson Campaign Donation
News of money previously given to House Speaker Mike Johnson's congressional campaign by Russian nationals has re-emerged after the Republican rejected a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed in the Senate.
In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the Texas-based American Ethane company.
While American Ethane was co-founded by American John Houghtaling, at the time it was 88 percentowned by three Russian nationals—Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev. Nikolaev is known to be a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A spokesperson for Johnson previously assured in 2018 that the campaign returned the money that was given to them by American Ethane once it was "made aware of the situation." There was no indication that Johnson's campaign team willfully broke federal law, which makes it illegal for a campaign to knowingly accept donations from a foreign-owned corporation, a foreign national, or any company owned or controlled by foreign nationals.

A number of social media users have now brought up the campaign money amid Johnson's oppositionto the long-debated foreign aid bill, which would send $60 billion to Ukraine as the country continues to fight off Russia's invasion.
In a press conference on February 14, Johnson said he would not bring the bill recently passed by the Senate back from a House vote and that the "Republican-led House will not be jammed or forced into passing" the foreign aid bill.
The same day, Ukraine-based blog Fake Off posted on X, formerly Twitter: "US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson received campaign contributions from American Ethane, a company 88% owned by three Russians. Now, do you understand why he was categorically against the aid to Ukraine?"
Another social media user added, while sharing a clip of Johnson's press conference: "Astonishing that the Speaker of the House for the United States Government accepts money from Russia. Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev own 88 percent of American Ethane."
Johnson's office has been contacted for comment via email.

Who Is Konstantin Nikolaev?
The 52-year-old is a billionaire who previously served as minister of transport for the Russian Federation.
Nikolaev and his two partners currently own a third of Globaltrans, Russia's biggest private rail transport operator, and he previously worked in railroad freight and port businesses.
He is also a part owner of Tula Cartridge Works, which has been supplying ammunition for Russian forces during its invasion of Ukraine.
In 2019, Forbeslisted the oligarch's net worth at $1.2 billion.
Nikolaev is also known for being a financial backer of Maria Butina, a Russian citizen who was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2019 after admitting to acting as an unregistered foreign agent to infiltrate conservative political groups and influence foreign policy to Russia's benefit before and after the 2016 election.
The money that Nikolaev and the other two Russian nationals managed to donate to Johnson's 2018 campaign was also brought up after the Republican was elected House Speaker last October,
"Putin pal Konstantin Nikolaev, who handled Russian spy Maria Butina, was also the principal stockholder in American Ethane Co. when they donated over $37,000 to Mike Johnson's election campaign. Does anyone else think that might be a problem?" posted X user @Davegreenidge57.
Political babble. This is talking about some gerrymandering, political nonsense with Repubs trying to keep a grip on the thin advantage they have in a district in Louisiana.
