Since you quoted me I wanna make sure I tell you how Strange it is to me how a black man can be so invested in a political system such as this. A system that is showing Hateful disregard, neglect and disrespect towards black people. Repeatedly telling us specifically what they are Not going to do for us.
I will Never understand a black person like that. The most I can do is chalk it up to Stockholm syndrome. To even care enough to track poll points and how they are tightening. I could give less than a fuk. The reason I even click on coli politics threads is to talk back against the anti black political bullying going on trying to shame us into supporting two pieces of anti black garbage by falsely accusing black people of being trump supporters.
For me, exploring the details of american politics is pointless because the ruling system is white supremacy which is constantly receiving democratic and republican support .

One of the most emotionally charged commercials of Super Bowl LIV featured the prison release of Alice Johnson, who was released in 2018 after serving 21 years in prison for a nonviolent drug offense. In the ad, Johnson stretches over her family to tell the cameras, “I want to thank President Donald John Trump. Hallelujah," screaming the last word at the top of her lungs. The ad closes with President Trump saying, "I approve this message."
To many onlookers, the 11 million ostentatious ad-buy didn’t fit into any coherent campaign strategy. They said it was Trump being Trump. But why would he choose one of the most-watched television programs of the year with over 100 million viewers to tout criminal justice, rather than his go-to “America First” message?
That’s when I realized he wasn’t speaking to his base. He was speaking to one of the top issue priorities of a specific demographic. This was a targeted and intentional move to reach out to Black voters, particularly Black men. This ad is evidence that Black men are not a marginal part of Trump’s electoral strategy, but his path to victory.
Since George Floyd's death, the Trump campaign has spent over 6 million dollars on Facebook advertising addressing criminal justice reform — over 800 times more than Biden has spent. This number is a powerful indicator of his overall strategy to peel off Black men from Democrats. For the Trump campaign, success is not winning 20, 30, 40 or 50 percent of Black men. In a close election, winning 10 percent of Black men could make him a two-term president.
Trump's spending spree has already yielded some results. Our research has found that in just September, 18% of Black men under 50 say they support Trump. Black men support for Trump has doubled from 2016 to now as a result of his aggressive marketing targeting Black voters. For a president who is regularly called a racist in liberal media, this is money well spent.
Winning more Black male voters is only one component of Trump’s campaign strategy. Trump’s strategy is not to win a majority of support from Black men, but rather convince a small but substantial percentage to not vote for Joe Biden.
This is not a mobilization issue — it's a persuasion problem. Democrats must give Black men a better reason to vote.
Black turnout continues to drop since its peak in 2008 with Barack Obama. In 2016, turnout dropped by eight points while also skewing seven points more Republican. This decrease in Black Democratic support comes primarily from Black men, whose support has faltered by double-digit margins. While Democrats winning the Black vote in 2016 nationally by 81 points isn’t bad news, it wasn’t necessarily good. The Democratic path to victory relies heavily on running up the margins in American urban centers with Black voters. And the difference between good and great Black turnout is Black men.
Trump has continued to exploit Black men's skepticism of the Democratic party. In August, when Joe Biden called Trump America's first racist President, Trump's digital spending went on the offense, not the defense. Trump issued an ad calling Joe Biden racist with an ad that read: "The man who told millions of Americans, 'you ain't Black,' and used the term ‘Blafrican American,’ said that our President is racist. Joe Biden has absolutely lost his mind…”
For most Black people, this message fell on deaf ears. But when you listen to focus groups of Black men who lean toward Trump, their response echoes this sentiment. They say all presidents are racist, at least with Donald Trump, he says it upfront.
To combat Trump's strategy, Democrats need a plan that involves leaning-in directly into racism, their top issue. When you include racism as an issue in polls, it becomes the number one issue for Black voters. And our research found only 21% of Black men are very confident Joe Biden will improve race relations as President.
Democrats need a message that answers the question of dismantling racism. Better healthcare and more jobs won't do the trick. Democrats must adopt a message that shows Black people they are intentional about addressing racism. Black voters know the next president won't solve the problem of racism, and campaigns should avoid overpromising that they can.
Even in the era of Black Lives Matter, Democrats remain timid on the topic of racism. It isn’t enough to simply disqualify Trump on racism, though more work is needed on front. Democrats have to offer an alternative, talk more about racism and explain how specific policy ideas can help dismantle systemic racism. To win this election, Joe Biden and Democrats need to combat Trump’s strategy to peel off Black male voters. Talking about racism is the answer.

I think we are reading the same book but on different pages.
This thread started out specifically about Tariq which i addressed and I have defended him on here ad-nasuem. I dont have many posts on here in 8 years so its easy to pull the receipts on that .
As far as your comments, I agree. But I'm voting against Donald Trump simply because as a healthcare professional who is going thru a battle with covid, I see the writing on the wall and he's not taking it serious, and more deaths will follow in the upcoming months. I'm also VERY involved locally around my city politically.
Everything else you said I can agree with you, not hedging my bets but I think everyone should vote in their interest rather locally, state, or national. And @Born2BKing the reason I quoted the polls because they are simply an outlier, the margin is usually a lot closer, and i think it will be on election day but we can agree to disagree on that..
you don't have to do anything, the fundamental thing to understand is that neither party has black peoples interest in mind
I was just SMH at you validating everything Tariq is saying, you know no tangibles are being promised and you are voting based on hope, that's crazy

like I have always said, splitting the vote increases black political power
More proof that all these famous militant dudes talking that "tangibles or no vote" shyt can't be trusted
not when the republicans are PRETENDING to care.
The GOP will answer the phone, but the GOP isn't even pretending to nominate, support, or allow black leadership or participation. Republicans aren't stupid. They know they're a white supremacy dead ender project. Thats why they're becoming more hard-right wing. They will allow black participation ONLY to screw the democrats. They won't let black democrats control anything.
Thats why the Democrats look like this and the republicans look like this:
Vandelay
Life is absurd. Lean into it.
at what Tariq has become
I'm ashamed I used to listen to this dude when I was younger.
I've been listening to him since 2009...I had to not only stop listening, but I had to unfollow all his accounts because his message is so garbage now. Dude is Alex Jones status to me.
Exactly 94 crime bill is the main talking point against Biden. Dumb MAGA nikkas can't stick to their talking points.
