What do y’all think of this Black focused southern strategy?

I think the focus should be on the working class. That is something that all people can directly understand and benefit from.

Class reductionism does not work and has never worked.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

That seems like a good strategy. Maybe they didn't apply it because they figure the got the black vote on lock? Black folks still have to vote after all and theres a lot of ignorance in our community

Class reductionism does not work and has never worked.

Identity politics failed the Dems in 2016 and 2024 and nearly failed them in 2020.

America put a stop to that when Bacon's Rebellion happened

Cacs nowadays are too fukking retarded to see the same rich cocksucker who looks like them keeps them poor too

All by design, but if you're a cac and poor in America, you're a failure but you have a societal safety net so fukk them

southern cacs will consolidate at near 100% rates for the republican party in that case
after Dems had some success in Georgia, 70% of white women voted for republicans

I get what he's saying....but it's not just about the "money being spent"

it's how that money is deployed. With social media......having Elon control the algorithms, having right wing money behind the likes of balleralert, shaderoom, saycheese, akademiks, tate, etc. Even if it was just 500k. That is gonna be way more effective in the propaganda/information war than putting money into phone banks, text message, a ground game, hollywood celebs, NPR-style podcasts, etc.

And even if they wanted to put money into social media, 10 most of the major social media is run by people who are not your friends (Iger, Murdoch, Zuckerberg, Musk, etc) From CNN to iHeartRadio to Twitter/Instagram.

And even worse 2), you can't really run a parallel to the messaging/packaging that cats like Andrew Tate or Akademiks. It's easy to digest what they selling, and it's entertaining and to some "cool". The closest thing you got in terms of popularity to that is Jon Stewart.......and you can't really soundbite Stewart, and even if you did he leaves with "logic".....Tate/Akademiks leaves people with "feeling".


"Men put logic over emotion" has always been a myth. Kevin Samuels flat out said it's easier for him sell frivolous divisiveness to people, that is what earns money and attention. Humans prioritize and "accept" emotion over logic across the board. It takes less than 5 seconds to tap into someone emotions. You can simply do it with a headline "Transgender defeats 13 year old girl in kickboxing match", 95% of people don't won't read the article or see if it's even true. The emotion is already evoked and will last even if debunked.



Using 2020 as an example, Biden was an ass candidate. But people were emotionally charged from the summer of 2020 (and maybe COVID).

I've said it before on here but I'll say it again: This is basically a state/region based version of Pan Africanism that yall love to criticize-- Except its ACTUALLY calls for people to relocate. Pan Africanism is just collaboration but people refuse to accept that. And the same say yall say "I was born here/My family goes back X generations/We have different lived experiences" and the like, the from in NY, LA, or wherever they're from... they would say all that about moving south and Southern Black folks. Thats not even getting to all the hurdles of infrastructure, job readiness, etc.


A more sensible approach would be coalescing people for political power where they are. I'm cool with folks who were calling for folks to move south priort to 2016... they just meant the southside of the CITY.

 

[ORDER_66]

nikkas still dont get it... STILL begging these demcorats to save em, and selling us down the fukking river...

 

[The Fade]

I think these big ass strategies not gonna work unless you and people you’re in step with gonna do it

You should just do what you can simply, pragmatically and build upon it on a trajectory

 

[JT-Money]

You want the Democrat party to adopt a National strategy focused solely on Black voters?

You nikkas need to be drug tested.

Anything that benefits people is considered communism tho, we have to change that and fast.

How can we even get reparations if they don't even wanna play ball ?
