curious question for those that chose not to vote for president. Is there any reason you didnt vote third party? Or do a write-in?

Did yall vote locally?

For me personally, it's the combination of lack of trust in the government in general, the excessive pandering that's disrespectful to my intelligence, and the overwhelming partisanship in whatever state I lived in at the time. Also, I'm at a point where I feel like we should be able to directly talk to whoever's in office to make sure the policies beneficial for us are implemented. The most communication the average American is gonna have with their lawmakers is with their vote. Ballots aren't gonna build bridges or lower taxes.

It’s one of the big reasons President Obama was a 2 term back to back President , you have to be strong on border security ,it takes away a strong talking point from Republicans . It’s a reason Trump killed the border deal cause it’s a issue that drives Republicans to the polls to vote

True and since it's clear that deportation doesn't offend Latinos, then they need to stop pussy footing around the issue.

COVID affected everyone. Nigga was calling it the China virus... ask the Asians that voted for him if they cared. I'll give you the stop and frisk thing, but Mr. Crime Bill had every opportunity to reinstate the ban. Either way none of that shit is enough for me to miss NXT, especially when the other candidate is just gonna pick up where he left off.

Here's the thing though, you're asking for things that specifically impact only Black people when there is nothing in this country that when it is designed to hurt, only hurt one demographic.

The point that I'm making is that you're looking for a gotcha trying to find something that is only putting Black people down when in this country, when shit is bad for one demographic, it is assuredly also bad for other demographics too.

So in essence, you aren't looking for anything that only impacts one demographic because nothing is designed to do that.

Nothing.

I wrote in "Reparations" on god

I know a sinking ship when I see one

I'm not like y'all trying fix the ship by plugging the holes. I abandoned the ship that wasn't working for me

My question to you is how come you all are not like that? Why do you Negroes feel this overwhelming obligation to go down with the sinking ship?

reparations up and down the ballot or just for president?

Your question.. ill speak for myself. If there are two choices.. or even three. Im voting for the one whos policies are the closest aligned to the shit I would like to see put in place and who will do the least amount of damage AND have a realistic shot at actually winning.

I live in reality and try to be pragmatic about the choices I make. No such thing as a perfect candidate thats gonna check ALL the boxes

Given the lack of turnout by Democrats, I think the only answer is go far left. Kamala tried to come back to the right and that’s what ultimately killed turnout.

I didn’t see that happening because I’m more moderate, but Democrats don’t tow the party line as much as Republicans.

We have a very white old guard power base and a minority constituency crackers gonna crack there is no such thing as far left in all honesty where have you ever seen a wholly equal yet opposite thrust from democrats..

It also a mistake to categorize it in that way as far left because it denotes a similar negative connotation like far right

White liberals. Get to the point already lol. 21 questions and shit.

FOH nigga lolololololololololol

But, why do you think white liberals wield the most power in the party? They aren't the most reliable voting block. Black women are followed by Black men. They are also shrinking in population compared to Latino's.

I'm curious why you think white Liberals are the most powerful people in the Democratic party. Especially when to party governs like Centrist in D.C and not as liberal as people would like.

They are free to vote for who they want to vote for. They just look ridiculous playing arm chair QB because that's exactly what they're doing.

Coach.

So now voting for somebody that best represents your views even if it’s not left or right is a bad thing?
 
People voting economics the economy has always been stupid but.. what can i say we are stupid

Nothing has dramatically changed for the better in 40 years in terms of "kitchen table issues" gotten worse but still people hold on to hearing about the "fundamentals" economy.... even if things were great for thr everyman economically

The social underpinnings trump the couple of coins i your pocket... now we will see these social underpinnings stressed to the max

Democrats need to get stronger on border security and sending illegal migrants and illegal immigrants back to their countries of origin. Cause that whole open border policies are not going to help in future elections. Get tough on immigration.

Didn’t Obama deport like a record number of ppl who immigrated illegally? Is it that Dems aren’t tough on the border or is it that they just don’t flaunt or broadcast it on a mountain top?
