A real answer.

If Black people refuse to "save Democracy" over and over without getting anything, and the other voting blocs remain split as they are, we get to sell our votes to the highest bidder. We decide many elections, but have wasted the power blindly voting Democrat for nothing for the last 60 years. This is the "holding politicians accountable" that people talk about all the time but never do.
Are you really from Baltimore? Hard to believe a thinking black man would write something like this. You make no sense. I'm in White Marsh if you want to discuss.

the GOP is relentless with the propaganda. chances are your number has been sold a dozen times over to various conservative action groups.

What is not "thinking" in asking for more for your vote and demanding actual results from your government?

Show me a politician telling another group "we're not doing anything for you" like they do with us.
Show me a politician talking disrespectfully to us while at the same time demanding votes.

We know these cacs don't care. If you think Democrats care, there's no helping you. Aside from wilin' out in the streets, what are Black people to do to get resources and equitable treatment from the US Govt.?

Why is it only the Black community that is treated like voting is a civic duty as opposed to a tool to advance your interests, like EVERYONE ELSE?

I get all that but you and I know one of Trump, Biden will be POTUS. You know how powerful the courts are. So between the two, who do you want appointing judges that will affect our lives for many years. Local elections are necessary but the wrong judge can wipe away any advances you make on that front with an unjust ruling. The courts should be our main focus. Us educated folk need to get this message out. Look at the harm the SCOTUS has done in the last thirty years. They will overturn any reparations plan and you know it. Look what they did with student loans. What II don't understand is how reparations advocates(Tariq and the like) believe their chances are better with Trump. This is objectively crazy. Tell me how Trump is better.

It's not about getting "tangibles" from Trump/Republican/whoever. It's the long game of making the party that depends on us for votes deal with us on a real level and stop disrespecting Black voters and taking them for granted as they have the last 60 years. If Black people would let them lose once or twice, they would probably pivot and try some other garbage (like importing millions of "migrants" in hopes of creating a replacement base:stopitslime: ), but hopefully fail and concede to finally abandon Benign Neglect. Voting blue no matter who is basically hoping the "good White folks" will suddenly grow a conscience and stop shytting on us, which is fantasy.



It might be different if the Democrats were actually about DOING something for us, but they give us their asses to kiss. You're telling me to ignore the POTUS and VP ON CAMERA telling me I'm not getting shyt. Let that marinate for a minute.

The way you do it is by getting politicians you want in there and that starts in local elections. Since 2016 there have been a bunch of grassroots campaigns for candidates that have progressive policies that would greatly help black folks. Not voting is just allowing the right to further fukk the system up so that we are not only further from the finish line but also have to obstacles in our way

From the Republicans? Of course not. Who TF thinks they will ever give Black people anything? :dahell:
The problem with your logic is that black people don’t actual hold much voting power.

The media likes to report on the “black vote” for clicks but reality is black people already don’t vote. So you are threatening to take away some shyt that already doesn’t exist.

Black people are 14% of eligible voters, half of those black voters live in deep read states with no chance of a democrat winning and only around 60% of black eligible voters actually vote.

Now you do some math and tell me why anyone would spend significant resources in courting those votes.

They win without the black vote everytime. Like what are you threatening to withhold??

We gotta show up first and prove the votes are actually there, and get involved in the process through out the year. We gotta show them they have something to lose first before we can threaten to take it away.

But y'all Bothsides people say the Democrats never give Black people anything. And if both sides are the same, why would you think the Democrats would ever give Black people tangibles - dare I say, reparations? Because if #BothSides, then following your logic it's not about getting tangibles from Trump/Republicans/Biden/Harris/Democrats/whoever right? And why not put pressure on the Republicans to deal with us on a real level and stop disrespecting us? I mean #BothSides right? So that means we need to hold Republicans feet to the fire just as much as Democrats, right?
