I totally get what you're saying, but we can regroup. We can start simply by having these types of conversations not only online, but in real life too. I've had this particular conversation twice today.

Yeah the real life conversations are critical. Online conversations, depends on where you are and who you talking to. Some people are so far gone it’s not even worth it.

Some people are far gone, but right now there are 125 people in this very thread. Your words could be influencing someone else...
I am not talking about power in presidential elections. I am talking about mass political power to move a large amount of people to do agenda that mostly benefits Black Americans. I am talking about getting what is owed.
Think about American History from the 1865 to 1965. It was 100 years of America wrestling with what to do with Black Americans. How to incorporate us into the country. How to deal with White racism and backlash.
It was 100 years of focus on us. That's how we got so far. Nobody else had the stage.
Then fools went to talking about people of color, immigrants, gender, sexual minorities and didn't even secure the bag yet. We are the ones that opened up these conversations and avenues because we thought it was the moral thing to do. We didn't have to do that. We are the ones that built the country, what the fuck did anybody else do to deserve to even talk? Because they had a bad time in America too?
Everything from the stock market to the medical profession was built off of slavery and degradation of our people. We are talking about trillions of dollars, not people's feeling about how bad White people are.
I don't care about elections. I don't care about voting. I don't care about political parties. I care about if we have power and wealth. Until we have power and wealth, I am agnostic to any formal political process or political ideology.
And we need 100 years and more on those two things and nothing else. We focused 100 years on civil rights. We didn't care about shit else and we fumbled it by extending our win to everyone.
Politicians only do what they are forced to do and your fellow citizens are your competition. Either you can convince your fellow citizens to join your cause or you dominate them. You shut them out.
Political capital is time multiplied by pressure. A lot of time has lapsed since 1965 and there's been zero pressure for politicians to do anything to rectify the wealth gap that slavery caused.
Black folks made concessions to other interest groups and the Democratic Party out of an unwillingness to do the dirty work required to win and sustain primacy in American political consciousness because of lack of vision of what a powerful Black population looks like. We only know how to be servile.

I wouldn’t put it past Elon to create some tech that helps you win elections and he offered it to Trump for power after he won. Their bromance did seem sudden.
Elon wouldn’t use it for himself because he’d have to divest from a lot of shit he does and more importantly there’s always more power behind the scenes pulling strings.
You got the sauce
There are data models that predict the winners of elections. I am sure all Elon did was aggregate poll data and live data from sources like AP.
DecisionHQ had Kamala losing the election before AP called it.

This can't be right. Kamala barely won the Latino vote. With Cubans just being 2.5 million people, they are too small of the overall proportion of Latinos to have such a large effect.
More Mexicans voted for Trump than this suggests. This is probably not a tally of how people actually voted.

Really compelling argument that Kamala actually overperformed given past presidential elections.
Did she run a perfect campaign? No, she made mistakes, and could have performed better still.
But that facts do not support the idea that she ran such a terrible campaign the way that some of y'all have suggested.

Trump played on people’s ignorance. Most candidates in the past tried to lead and correct ignorance. That’s the difference with Trump.
