Why should the republicans address our issues when over 90% of us don't vote for them? Do you have idea how politics work?
We give the democrats our votes overwhelmingly and therefore the right to pressurise them for change. The republicans don't owe us anything.
I've been following politics for awhile now. I started really following politics after 9/11.
No political party owe us shyt. We have to demand it from both parties. If a Republican wins the office, we will never be a priority to him because we never address our issues to the Republican party. By addressing, I mean going to their town halls and box them in by asking the uncomfortable questions. BLM should do the same thing to Republicans that they're doing to Democrats. The 'stop shooting us' is a nice slogan but we need to be specific about what we want from the president, federal, and state govt.
I've watched the Republican debates, mainly for entertainment purposes, but not one time has black issues or BLM came up. Trump was the only one but he calls us the Blacks and he is too damn general.
