Black men get screwed over politically because we don't vote.

[Tair]

Did you miss the entire point of the thread? The problem isn't "90% voted for the dems", the problem is only 40% of Black folk turning out to vote at all. Even lower among Black men. It doesn't matter what 90% of a group does if that 90% is only half the size it should be.


And did you not just see the two Trump judges who just blocked the private Black women's fund that was giving out grants to Black women business owners? Right after they blocked private schools from using race in admissions? Right after they blocked money for Black farmers? What the fukk is your solution to that without voting?

Given tangibles, Trump judges block those tangibles, blame Dems. Rinse and repeat.

We have an ignorance problem in the Black community that is the hard fact.

Centuries of under education has had an impact.

America is weird. You vote for people to represent your interests but get blamed when you don't vote for people on ballots you know who don't give two shyts.

It starts before you even get to the polls, though. Plenty of successful grassroots campaigns that start that weren't part of the establishment.

I'm not trying to hear this bullshyt.

Republicans did the same to Trump but voters showed up for him. If young people wanted Bernie, they should have voted, but they didn't.

Only in the very beginning. After they saw that Trump was getting a following they got behind him.

That wasn't until Trump started dominating in the primary and was the clear victor, Bernie never dominated like trump did, he was popular among the base that was the least likely to vote.

If Bernie was winning states like trump, the party would've been forced to bend the knee.

This shyt is disingenuous per coli usual
Black men vote but this is how the narrative gets spun so if the Democrips lose
It’s always a scapegoat/fall guy for their incompetence/failure to read the room
White women always vote against their self interests
Nonblacks hardly vote at all especially asians
And when they do it’s for Rebloodicans
Black people have and always will vote overwhelmingly in elections
But just like op and that hoe ass nikka in the video are planting seeds of deceit
Nobody ever talks about the other demographics willingness to not vote or vote red
Nobody
The first thing dumb smart nikkas do is to point fingers at black people on some
The boogie man coming if you don’t vote
But get real fukking quiet when data and statistics show whose fukking this country up more
Keep getting your narratives off though
I swear you bird chest nikkas ain’t saying this antiblack shyt in real life
That’s if you are even black to begin with
Or hang around black people in the first place
This is y’all’s playground of intellectual dishonesty
This the same shyt you nikkas get mad at about other platforms but practice the same dumbshyt you hate so much
Math ain’t mathing

Obama? Weren't we talking about Bernie?

What exactly are you trying to prove?

The black vote went to Hillary and Biden because young people didn't vote and old heads preferred them over Bernie.

Yeah also I believe more people are likely to vote in the general election than in the primaries even moreso with the few young people that do vote.
I don't know for sure but I would wager that way more young people voted for Obama in 08 in the general compared to the primaries.

Going off of memory but wasn't Bernie winning some early on states here and there? DNC put more energy into stopping Bernie in 2016 than they did Trump during the general because they didn't think there was no way Hillary would lose to Trump.
It would make sense for the party to get behind the populist candidate because they would bring in people outside of the usual voting demographic thats going to show up regardless.

Voting is very powerful, that is why Republicans throw so many obstacles in front of it including demoralizing u into thinking it doesn't matter

Most of that vote was Old Black women. The GOP wants to desparately cut the spending budget so they want to cut out shyt like Meals on wheels but despite entitlemnets making over 60% of the budget they project a budget with a 3.2% increase for Flabby heads like me to get more of your money despite 100% of it being spent abroad.

If you think this is bullshyt I suggest that you make yourself heard.

Or not I'll take my regularly scheduled COLA increases that will lead to more debt and more inflation for your grandchildren to pay.

absolutely that's why the Atty General filed that motion to stop more representation, and extra Black distirct in the south would mean more FBA reps in Congress but we defenitely don't need that better to have that cac in their who will constantly stab you in the back.

Not just here and there, it was basically neck-and-neck for a while.


Iowa was first, and it was full of massive caucus issues and discrepancies, including several precincts where Sanders got more votes but Clinton was awarded more representatives. In the end, Clinton won by the thinnest margin in Iowa caucus history, but many believe Sanders should have won.

New Hampshire was second, and Sanders dominated.

Nevada was third, another caucus, and was hugely controversial as the caucus chair appeared to accept the wrong result of a voice vote (giving it to Clinton even though Sanders's side was louder), which led pretty much to chaos. Clinton again was declared the narrow victor, but many think Sanders should have won.

For the next month they damn near split the states - Clinton won 18 and Sanders won 16. But Clinton won more of the big states, so she took a decisive lead. On April 26, Clinton won 5 out of 6 states in a big northeast primary day, and after that Sanders pretty much closed up the serious side of his campaign. In the end, he won 23 states.



There was massive controversy after Wikileaks showed that DNC officials were explicitly favoring Clinton, something that Bernie supporters had said all along. Besides their personal favoritism for Clinton, the Clinton campaign had gotten to make certain DNC hiring decisions, had control over DNC press releases, and used DNC and state committees to basically launder campaign funds and get extra money to her campaign. On top of that, DNC officials with connections to CNN were feeding Clinton the exact debate questions ahead of time.

There was also a lot of controversy over debate timings. Sanders had called for more debates (like the Republicans were having), but the DNC kept to a lower number which was seen as a means of protecting Clinton. They also scheduled several of the debates at terrible times - the 2nd and 3rd debates were both scheduled for Saturday night, which is when the fewest people are watching television, and one of those was the Saturday before Christmas. Then the 4th debate was scheduled for Sunday night of MLK Jr. weekend, which is another time when few people are going to be watching TV. Since Clinton had more preexisting support and name recognition, it seemed like a purposeful attempt to keep Sanders from gaining ground the way Obama had in 2008.

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Wasn't the turning part when Sanders lost the southern "black" states after Clyburn endorsed Clinton? Just going off of policy those those old civil rights activists should be ashamed of themselves, imo

You're thinking of the 2020 election. The Clyburn endorsement was the turning point in Biden beating Bernie in 2020, along with the other major candidates dropping out and endorsing Biden and a massive media blitz to try to discredit and smear Sanders.

In 2020, Bernie won the popular vote in the first three states - Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Nevada was a pure landslide.

Right before the 4th contest in South Carolina, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar both dropped out of the race and endorsed Joe Biden, even though initial reports were that they had wanted to stay in the race. So there were rumors that the DNC and/or Biden campaign had pressured them or bribed them to drop out early. On the other hand, Elizabeth Warren (whose voters were more in line with Bernie that Biden), was under no pressure to drop out and kept contesting despite being in a distant 4th at the time, well behind Buttigieg and only slightly ahead of Klobuchar. That was seen as a purposeful strategy to keep the liberal vote split while the establishment coalesced around Biden. There was also a massive media blitz against Sanders including 40-year-old comments about Cuba's literacy program being taken out of context and a false claim being made by mainstream media that Sanders had chosen to honeymoon in the USSR, all meant to portray Bernie as an unelectable Communist. Meanwhile, there was virtually zero scrutiny of Biden's far worse statements and past actions at all. Then came the Clyburn endorsement of Biden (which South Carolina voters said was the biggest factor in their decision) and Biden finally won his first state.

Despite Bernie having won three states and Biden just one, the entire media narrative after South Carolina was that Biden was inevitable, that he was the electable candidate, and Bernie should just drop out. Despite finishing a distant 4th in South Carolina (once again even behind Pete, despite his having already dropped out before the vote), Elizabeth Warren continued to stay in the race in order to siphon as many votes as possible away from Bernie. Biden won all 7 southern states on Super Tuesday, while Bernie won 4 of the 6 non-Southern states, but it wasn't enough and Biden was basically seen as the guarantied candidate from there on out.
