I agreeThe problem is you have a lot of black media out there telling folks their biggest concern is black men v black women, going 50/50, dumb celebrity shyt and reinforcing the absolute worse about us as a people
I agree, this blaming of Black men is dumb too because I am willing to bet the majority of us lean more towards Kamala than Trump.
It was the same in 2016 as well. Most of the blame should go to White women, White men, and Latinos. That small percentage of Black c00ns voting for Trump this year should be the least of Democrats worries.

doesn’t look like kamala is losing pennsylvania. she’s consistently up in the polls and those early voting numbers areObeezy wants the full 100%
If the Democrats lose PA, they will find a way to blame black men.
for trump.Belize King
I got concepts of a plan.
Interesting. What makes you that? It seems as though she’s been running don’t fukk it up game. I guess she has been hitting the podcasts and SM circuit which is very smart.agreed.
i’ve said for a while that kamala’s campaign is the best i’ve seen, topping even obama’s in 08.
she’s a much more savvy politician than obama, deserving a lot more credit than she’s given.
Still, she’s in a dead heat with Trump after out raising him by 3 to 1. She had a huge bump after taking over for Biden and still isn’t running away with polling.
We will see what happens Election Day but it seems like it shouldn’t be this close. The road to 270 goes through PA. We will see how that comes out.

Black people go above and beyond in nearly every election to get democrat presidents elected. The only recent miss was Hillary, who clearly didn't excite anyone so we can't be solely blamed for that. And yet it doesn't stop us from being talked to like small children every 4 years. We can expand beyond white people to Hispanics....they don't get talked to like this. Hispanic men vote less than we do, yet I don't see noteworthy politicians saying "tell Tito and Carlos to get off the couch and vote."
Dems could be talking about how black unemployment reached a near all-time low within the last few years, or discuss the impressive way the administration kept fighting to get that money approved for black farmers after multiple (racist) court delays. They could be talking about what the SBA is doing to help black men get loans for businesses, or how student loan forgiveness has helped many black women, or how increasing access to affordable community college helps us. But no, instead we just get lectured. Even when they do things for black voters, they'd rather speak down to us than talk about their own accomplishments! This is a problem.
I also think it's clear that if Kamala loses, Obama's people will blame her for not picking his guy Shapiro as VP. And he will be the heir apparent for 2028. It's layers to all of this.

Black people do not go beyond our elders are the one's that mostly show up to the polls. I've worked as a pole worker multiple times in the last 3 years and the number one most consistent voter is Black women over 40. Some younger Black men show up but they are a vast minority. The problem is voter turnout.

It ain't gonna work like that
you need a black person speaking to black people
a cac speaking to whites
hispanic speaking to whomever they're linked to Mexican/P.R./Central American etc.
A outsider is not gonna be able to reach you like someone within the fold. I can't go to the hood where the Mexicans be at and tell them to chill at, but the mfer Felipe working on a house or contracting probably can

What happens if the next gen of women don't show up
republicans are literally spewing lies about black men, spreading AI generated images depicting black men negatively and even using them to fake positive black support of trump racist maga agenda. you'd almost have a point if one party wasn't trying to denigrate, undermine and actively harm us. this is about self-preservation and working to keep the worse outcome from happening so we can work towards building a just society with political parties that can approach black voters and their issues with dignity and respect.
voting the couch is voting for the status quo which would allow trump to win and trumps presidency has demonstrably harmed black folks and still continues to do so through the racist judges he's appointed to the federal courts and supreme court.
the issues she wants to address are our issues too.

Black and Hispanic communities face 56-63% more exposure to pollutants than they cause.
Pollution of any kind in any community is unacceptable. But we must fight for #RacialJustice and equity if we are to achieve #ClimateJustice and a green world worth fighting for.

The EPA will begin unannounced inspections of industrial plants along Louisiana’s “Cancer Alley.”
The area is home to large Black communities that have worried about pollution for years. A study found higher cancer rates were linked to air pollution in Black & low-income areas.

One of the most dangerous chemical plants in America sits in one of West Virginia’s only majority-Black communities. For decades, residents of Institute have raised alarms about air pollution. They say concerns have “fallen on deaf ears.”

Environmental racism is the result of years of intentional pollution in Black communities.
Experts say that changing current environmental rules to include protections for people of color is the only way to reverse this harm. There’s a clear fix to helping Black communities fight pollution

she’s not in a dead heat with trump.
we have to stop using this type of language, because it’s dishonest.
if the current polling numbers were reversed, articles would be declaring an emergency in kamala’s campaign, with pundits saying that a trump presidency is all but certain.
she is consistently ahead of trump in the national and swing state aggregates, sometimes outside of the moe.
as for her campaign, her outreach on social media is unmatched, constantly framing trump in a way that prevents the media from effectively laundering his stench. she comes across as genuine in her engagement with the public, rarely pandering with insincere platitudes, able to communicate empathy that resonates with the average voter.
kamala just strikes me as a good person, and it’s rare to see that in a politician running for the highest office. that’s why her favorability numbers, as the public sees more of her, are climbing.

So are you stating that just because the side I do not support spews lies about us, it is fine for the side I do support to do it?
Do you even think about what you are writing, or is it just a stream of emotion being put into words? You seem to think it is ok for your side to do, what the other side you are against is doing. Really, do you not see the absolute hypocrisy in that stance?

If there was ever a microcosm of political
facts I was like cap at that post. Young black males consistently have one of the lowest turnouts across all groups.
