That’s why the best option is to withhold your vote. Black people are a big part of your base to be that neglectful towards. Republicans ain’t shit either and I don’t trust them as well.

came here to say this. If they cant give a decent reason for why they voted no.. and dont have a better plan that they can speak on and implement in place of what they voted no on..
Vote they asses out and put someone in place who will put into action what you trying to get done.
Not voting and still complaining about shit aint gon get it done
Yeah. P2P accounts.
Some of em' are a bunch of paid to post accounts to shift this website to the democrat party and swarm on those like myself who ain't wit it. It's very entertaining looking at an account thats been here for a couple of years, but already racking up nearly 80K posts, so forth and so on. They finna come over here playing dumb about this.
Like I said a few minutes ago, since it's a stain on the dems, they weren't gonna make this thread if you didn't. And thankfully, you @'d these cowards.
You need to be very specific
Withhold your presidential vote? Local? The voting process all together?
What do you think?

That makes more sense. I'm not saying I think it's a good way to go, but I can understand people getting so disenfranchised that they want nothing to do with it anymore. The problem is that at the beginning of this convo you sounded like you thought refusing to vote for Kamala specifically as a punishment for what these state politicians did.
Anyway, I don't think it's over. After looking it to it, the people that have been fighting for reparations and they are hopeful they can win eventually, so I don't know why people on the sidelines would feel like the dream is dead.
When the people who shot down the bill are up for reelection simply withhold the vote.

or you know.. you could vote for someone who shares your views or at the very least is more closely aligned than the folks that voted this down..

I don't know, but I think I would have to agree with the reasons she gave for the time being. I haven't read what is all proposed. Why play the blame game? Maybe they do need to define a little bit more things like what process would be used to determine who exactly would be eligible. She stated there exist some potential issues (which ones I'm not exactly privy to) that they want to tighten up on before bringing it back into play. Had it made it to Newsom desk then is the chance that all that work could have been for nothing had veto'd it just like he did the undocumented immigrant bill. The good thing is he seems to be on board with it so far, but from what I gather they don't want to leave much room for the possibility of him to not sign it into law because of the way it could make them look if they don't have all their ducks in a row with some fine details. That way if the governor ultimately ends up shutting it down then it won't look like it was because something on them (the Black Caucus).
I bet if one Donald J Trump or Republicans blocked reparations in this day & age, this thread would've been doing all kinds of numbers by now. All kinds of accounts would be in here, "You still think Trump better dan us??!", "Seeeee, Republicans ain't a better choice", "How u gon' put us last??!" and so on and so forth. Prolly a whole 30 pages.
Blocked by democrats, now don't nobody see shyt. I bet them posters just waiting for this thread to die.

lol @ dont nobody see shyt.. we having a whole discussion in here
If Knock Twice didn't @ all them accounts in here, they would've paid this thread no mind.
Clinging on to false hope for they party. And we only at 7 pages. This thread would be doin' football numbers if reparations in this day & age was blocked by Orange man or republicants.

cant speak for them folks. I didnt get the @ and yet here I am discussing the topic and not complaining about why the topic aint doing more numbers.
How you think folks should handle the people politically that shot this down?
I honestly wanna hear the bullshit reasoning on why they didnt let this pass
I'm stating facts. Not complaining. Know the difference bro.
The same answer I gave em.
That's the thing. They ain't got no excuse.
They'd have one if republicants pulled this stunt tho.
And I was reading the article when I got tagged

IMO Cornell West would be better suited for the Senate then the oval office, where he could have more power lobbying for legislation.
I said this before in another thread, for a black person or any minority to be president they would have to white wash themselves to appeal to white voters. So having a president who is going to have anything on their agenda strictly for blacks in 2024 ain't happening.
