The “Blame Black men” narrative is no longer just an internet thing.

That's doesn't say how many actually turned out...it's an important bit of information for this conversation to be constructive
From the Black Voters Matter:
"turnout in Georgia reached historic highs on the first day of early voting in this midterm election, and Black Voters comprised 35% of all those who turned out to vote. Compared to the last midterm election in 2018, Georgians far exceeded the early voting numbers for the first two days and came very close to the 2020 results, according to data from the Secretary of State. In doing so, the Black male vote total was 46,016, in comparison to 38,792 in 2018. We at Black Voters Matter never doubted the commitment of Black voters to use the ballot box to bring about change."

Black men were 11% of the electorate, Black women were 17%. She lost by 300,000 votes in a state were Black folk are 30% of the population. Black men were not her issue. She ran ahead of the national party when it came to Black male support and over performed with Black voters period. Her numbers with other demographics sunk her, not Black male turn out. But blame the demo that delivered their votes at the second highest clip. I'm sure that will convince more of us to vote the way y'all want 😒

That's old/premature information. But thanks for posting. Turnout did not improve in this election. Only about half of registered voters did.

Out here in my damn drawls
Breh who cares. I only see or hear this bullshyt on the coli and twitter.

I just focus on me and leveling up fukk what these randoms say

You can't discount the things going on outside of your bubble of self-improvement and leveling up

Yes, do you and build yourself, but don't come out and act like people are just making stuff up

Just because you don't focus on what's happening outside your purview doesn't make them non-existent and unimportant

It was an off year election, those tend to have lower turnout that a general. Midterms tend to average 40% voter turn out: Voter turnout in the United States fluctuates in national elections. In recent decades, about 60% of the voting eligible population votes during presidential election years and about 40% votes during midterm elections, with 2020 and 2018 marking the highest presidential and midterm turnout in over a century. But the larger question is what do you think would've put Stacy over the top and what more do you think Black men could've done?
:ohhh:
