If there isn't a boogeyman, they will invent one. The DNC's "Black outreach" has been:

1. We gave you the Civil Rights Act
2. Republicans are evil and racist
3. Symbolism that doesn't actually help.


for the last 60 years. I'm tired. As long as Black people find excuses to talk themselves into voting Democrat without getting anything, we'll circle the drain.
When in the last 60 years has one political party tried to attempt a coup. These aren't normal times. This isn't the Republican party of Reagen or Bush. And yes republicans are the boogeyman. They've had a multi-decade long project to slowly roll back civil rights ever since 1965. Its been slow and methodical but with the changes in demographics and whites decreasing in population their project is becoming less effective. Hence, the rise of MAGA, which is unadulterated full speed ahead fascism. This is their last chance and they know it. This is why context is so important. This is the final result of white grievance since the civil rights act. Everything has led up to this point.

Dems are far from perfect and have in many aspects taken the black vote for granted. But to think allowing the republican party (who are a legit fascist party in 2024) to have full reign is going to somehow cause the DNC to change course is deeply naive. Again MAGA is fascist movement. These aren't Bush republicans who want to slowly roll back civil rights under our noses. The current Republican party intends to dismantle democracy completely. And if they succeed there is no turning back. There is no hoping the Dems will finally see the error in their ways. We will be living in a completely different country at that point.

First, no one should be blindly voting for anyone. Second, you're not going to get something by doing nothing, especially reparations. Even though we are owed, I personally don't believe it will ever happen, given how congressional elections work and the role of the Supreme Court. Third, that's not how you hold politicians accountable. You organize and run candidates who support reparations during primary contests. You don't just sit on your hands. And you don't ignore midterm elections. The reality is that most Black voters don't condition their vote on whether a candidate supports reparations or not.
He and the others know that. They are just making excuses

First Polls After Trump Conviction: Warning Signs For Republican​

Brian Bushard
Forbes Staff

Nearly half of Independents said they want former President Donald Trump to drop his 2024 campaign after a New York jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his criminal hush money case, according to a new poll released Saturday, following another poll Friday that showed other warning signs for the Republican candidate.

A Morning Consult conducted on Friday found 54% of registered voters either “strongly” or “somewhat” approve the guilty verdict, and though 49% said Trump should be sentenced to probation, over 44% who said he should be given a prison sentence (68% of respondents said he should be fined).

Roughly 49% of Independents in the poll said they believe Trump should drop out of the presidential race, just one day after Trump was convicted in his criminal trial in New York.

The survey also found 15% of likely Republican voters believe Trump should drop his campaign, while 8% of self-proclaimed Trump supporters in the survey said the same.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted just hours after Trump’s guilty verdict was read also found 56% of Republican voters said the conviction does not change their vote, while 35% said they were more inclined to vote for Trump after the verdict.
Still: 10% of Republicans in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, which surveyed over 2,500 U.S. adults, said they were less likely to vote for Trump in the wake of the conviction, while a quarter of Independent voters said the same—18% of Independents said they were more likely to vote for Trump after the conviction.

Exclusive: One in 10 Republicans less likely to vote for Trump after guilty verdict, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds​

By Jason Lange

WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - Ten percent of Republican registered voters say they are less likely to vote for Donald Trump following his felony conviction for falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Friday.

The two-day poll, conducted in the hours after the Republican presidential candidate's conviction by a Manhattan jury on Thursday, also found that 56% of Republican registered voters said the case would have no effect on their vote and 35% said they were more likely to support Trump, who has claimed the charges against him are politically motivated and has vowed to appeal.

The potential loss of a tenth of his party's voters is more significant for Trump than the stronger backing of more than a third of Republicans, since many of the latter would be likely to vote for him regardless of the conviction.

Among independent registered voters, 25% said Trump's conviction made them less likely to support him in November, compared to 18% who said they were more likely and 56% who said the conviction would have no impact on their decision.

The verdict could shake up the race between Trump, who was U.S. president from 2017-2021, and Democratic President Joe Biden ahead of the Nov. 5 election. U.S. presidential elections are typically decided by thin margins in a handful of competitive swing states, meaning that even small numbers of voters defecting from their candidates can have a big impact.

Biden and Trump remain locked in a tight race, with 41% of voters saying they would vote for Biden if the election were held today and 39% saying they would pick Trump, according to the poll, which surveyed 2,556 U.S. adults nationwide... .

Donald Trump Suffers Triple Polling Blow in 48 Hours After Guilty Verdict​

Published Jun 01, 2024

Former President Donald Trump has suffered losses in three separate polls in the 48 hours since his guilty verdict in his Manhattan criminal trial.

A New York jury on Thursday found Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels by Trump's then-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen shortly before the 2016 presidential election. Daniels alleges she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, which he denies. Trump has maintained his innocence, claiming the case is politically motivated, and his lawyers plan to fight the verdict and appeal the case if necessary.

In a YouGov snap poll conducted just hours after the verdict was announced, 50 percent of the 3,040 U.S. adults who were polled said they believed Trump was guilty, while 30 percent said they believed he was not guilty. Another 19 percent said they were not sure. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 percent.

When broken down into party lines, 15 percent of Republicans think he is guilty while 64 percent do not, 48 percent of independents think Trump is guilty while 25 percent do not, and 86 percent of Democrats believe he is guilty while 5 percent do not. A total of 831 Republicans, 1,114 independents, and 1,113 Democrats were surveyed. The margin of error of the subgroups are unclear.

A Morning Consult poll conducted on Friday found 54 percent of registered voters approve of the jury's verdict while 39 percent disapprove. Across party lines, 18 percent of Republicans approve of the verdict while 74 percent disapprove, 52 percent of independents approve while 33 disapprove and 88 percent of Democrats approve while 8 percent disapprove. The poll surveyed 2,220 registered voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points. The sizes and margins of error of the subsamples are also unclear.

Of the 2,220 registered voters, 51 percent said Trump should end his presidential campaign, while 43 percent said he should not. The majority of Republicans surveyed in the poll (79 percent) believe Trump should not drop out, however, 15 percent said he should. Meanwhile, 87 percent of Trump supporters don't want him to end his campaign while 8 percent do. The margin of error for the Republican subsample is unclear.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between Thursday and Friday found that 5 percent of Republicans and 21 percent of independents said they are much less likely to vote for Trump because of the jury's ruling. Meanwhile, 30 percent of Republicans and 13 percent of independents said the verdict made them much more likely to vote for Trump. However, the majority of Republicans (55 percent), independents (58 percent), and Democrats (58 percent) said the verdict didn't change their minds on whether or not to vote for the former president.

The subsample of Republicans was 828 U.S. adults (with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percent), independents was 708 (with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.0 percent), and Democrats was 774 (with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percent).

Meanwhile, Steven Cheung, Trump's campaign communications director, told Newsweek via email on Saturday, "President Trump has seen an outpouring support, which has led to polling increases and record-shattering fundraising numbers that include close to $53 million in just 24 hours, 30% of those who are new donors."

He also mentioned a snap Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll taken after Thursday's verdict, which found that Trump's approval rating was up by 6 percentage points compared to those who disapproved.

A total of 22 percent of likely voters had a more positive view of Trump after his guilty verdict while 16 percent had a more negative view. Meanwhile, 32 percent of likely voters who already had a negative view of Trump had no change of opinion while 27 percent of likely voters who already had a positive view of Trump had no change. The poll surveyed 403 likely voters from Thursday to Friday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.

You are an idiot Republicans are evil and racist.

Democrats don’t do enough for Black folks but they are 100 times better than Republicans.

New Details Emerge Surrounding Federal Executions Under Trump Administration
Trump brought back the death penalty


Trump literally rushed to kill Black men.


Plus Trump tried to roll back any “equity” initiative for Black people to help with housing etc.

2. Democrats are racist, too, but have fools like you convinced the status quo is winning. You sound like a 70 year old Civil Rights Era negro. Enjoy your crumbs, I'm good on that.

Like above, enjoy your crumbs. I'm good on that. You can spin it all you want, they will try to scare you into voting for nothing again and again, and as long as it works, you'll get nothing and like it.

the "left" did just that in 2016 and guess what? trump appointed over 100 federal judges and 3 supreme court judges for life. we got voting rights and affirmative action being repealed or weakened among a litany of other hard fought policies being repealed. can't give an inch of ground to the fascist GOP or we'll be worse off because now they're instituting electoral college style voting for local elections too.

118th Congress (2023–2025)
Majority Party: Democrats (48 seats)
Minority Party: Republicans (49 seats)
Other Parties: 3 Independents
Total Seats: 100

So, 8 Republicans have vowed to say no to everything. Obama plan revisited.

If things are not happening, look for those names as Dems don't have a majority. Blame the fukking Republicans when things aren't happening. They are doing this in our faces.
