@Swagnificent , are you still a flat earther ?
You found conclusive evidence that we live on a spinning sphere? If not, you know the answer.

Don't matter how many black people vote in the South, there are more white people. In the South they vote as a monolith thus making it impossible for anyone other than their preferred candidate winning any state wide election. Mississippi is by percentage the blackest state in the country. 40% of the population is black. Yet republicans win every elections because 80% of whites vote republican.
What you don't get is that my argument here has nothing to do with the state wide elections. I know we ain't ever gonna win those. But we have the chance to win the national elections. Which is why when Democrats win and then they turn around and do nothing for us, that's why I'm saying voting is worthless. In 2009, we had a black Democratic President. We had a FILIBUSTER PROOF Democratic Senate and an overwhelmingly Democratic House. Democrats controlled every level of government at the national level. And rather than using the political capital to accomplish actual change, the Democrats turned around and fukked us by doing nothing, bending over backwards for the republicans and then giving us that bullsh*t healthcare bill that was the same plan the Republicans wanted to pass in the 1990s when Hillary Clinton was trying to pass her bill.
You are either some young kid or extremely uninformed. I used to be a believer in voting. I voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. In 2008 I actually thought he might do something. In 2012 I voted for him just cause he was black. I didn't want a black President to have only 1 term. But over those 8 years he didn't do nothing for us. And in 2009-2010 when they had all that power, the Democrats did nothing. That's when I realized this politics game is just a racket. The dems ain't trying to do anything for us. They talk a big game but they never do anything. That's why I don't give a fukk anymore or vote.
Fool me once....shame on YOU. Fool me twice....shame on ME. I ain't gonna get fooled again with this voting shyt. PERIOD.
The level of trolling, "I believed in voting when obama was on the ticket."
TN and the south has terrible overall voter turnout, which helps old whites control state/federal elections, which allows the right to continue voter suppression/gerrymandering, and the cycle continues.
Side with a nikka who believes the earth is flat because your feelings get hurt brehs.I disagree with @Swagnificent wholeheartedly ... but refuse to argue on the same side as ostentatious HL libs...so I’m gonna pivot.
Voting for Dems does nothing to meaningfully help black people
...might as well stay home

And how is any of that the Democrats fault? Go vote the Republicans out or move you stupid fukkWell I live in Tennessee where most people still don't have healthcare because Obamacare did nothing for people who live in Republican States where the local government could opt out of the Medicare expansion. Guess where most black people live? In those southern republican states where the republicans still run all the local governments and thus didn't expand Medicare for poor people who can't afford healthcare.
So while your mother benefited, most black people in this country did not benefit from Obamacare in ANY WAY. All Obamacare did was just benefit the insurance companies by forcing everyone to buy health insurance now or have to pay a fine. Instead of doing a single payer health care plan that would have covered everyone and gotten rid for the private health insurance industry, Obama and the Democrats instead decided to basically repackage the plan Gingrich and the Republicans put forward back in the 1990s and sell it to us as change.
This is why I said voting and politics is bullsh*t. Even Obamacare that you want to champion as some great accomplishment for black people didn't really help us at all. All it did was maybe help some white people in northern states. But it ain't do nothing for the majority of the black population that lives in the South because rather than doing SINGLE PAYER, Obama and the Dems just did what the Republicans wanted and in turn screwed over black people.
One party supports gerrymandering, voter suppression while not really supporting civil rights, equality and criminal justice reform. That should be more than enough to vote against that party.
When will our basic values rise above policy differences?
They don't want to be labelled liberals so they rather not vote.
And how is any of that the Democrats fault? Go vote the Republicans out or move you stupid fukk
What was going on in 2009?In 2009 when the Democrats had all the power in Washington including a filibuster proof Senate, they did NOTHING.
Democrats are worse than the Republicans cause they sell us lies every election with no intent to ever deliver. At least Republicans tell us the truth. They don't give a sh*t about black. They say that and deliver on it.
