Shouldn't we do the same? :ld:

instead of saying nikkaz aint flying the black power flag fukk em
If a candidate is significantly better than the other candidate, you should vote for him or her. Not doing so is how the worse candidate potentially wins.

I respect everyone's issues with Kamala bae. I share similar issues with her. I understand people's issues with Holder. But if either one of them, or Beto, or Biden wins the primary, I'm voting for them.

Tangible resources.

Ur just juelzing. Dems give blacks nothing specific.

We dont want to be lumped up with other groups.

We want our personal issues addressed
WHAT ISSUES?

It's all a hustle. Have you ever seen the Koch brothers demand "tangibles?" Unions? Corporate sponsors?

No. They specifically tell politicians what they want in return for their block of votes in that state and campaign donations. A bunch of black people scattered around the country demanding "tangibles" is politically insignificant.

Stop listening to Youtubers who have NO INTENTION OF LEAVNG THEIR BASEMENTS AND DOING REAL POLITICS.

There were charges to be brought against Wall Street which he didn't pursue but I thought he handled Ferguson properly given the circumstances. I hope he can be honest with his intentions on criminal justice reform and consider legalizing marijuana and putting an end to for profit prisons including turning prisons to rehibilation centers for those serving time for non violent and sexual crimes.

Meh...he has name brand appeal but little if any substance. He also can’t speak to a crowd for shyt

My biggest issue was his recommendation for Clinton to pardon Marc Rich the biggest tax cheat in history. I still don’t get that one

You mean the guy that watched as black people wealth go obliterated (damn near half) didn't have the balls to arrest anyone for one of the most devastating things to happen to black wealth in ages. The guy that made this statement

"the size of some of these [financial] institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy.”

Naw
He was scared to rip the ass out of the financial system. I can see where he is coming from because it would probably affect the credit rating of the US and make it much more expensive for everyone to finance or obtain credit. They didn’t want to risk it.

Was it a right decision in hindsight. Guess it depends on how you look at things.

much better choice than kamala harris. Deval Patrick needs to run

I was just about to post this. He's a natural speaker too. He's not one of those Kamala, Hillary clones that can't string 3 words together unless they've been focus group tested.

Eric Holder sure sounds like he's running for president

Former Attorney General Eric Holder became the latest in a long line of Democrats to visit Iowa on Tuesday, giving a speech in Des Moines that increased speculation about a presidential bid.

Since stepping down as the country’s first African American attorney general, Holder has chaired the National Democratic Redistricting Trust, which focuses on combatting Republican gerrymandering efforts and making voting laws fairer. Holder emphasized the fight for voting rights in a speech at Drake University Law School, suggesting that he would make these issues a centerpiece of a presidential run.

“In far too many places, elections are not fair,” Holder said. “The system is being rigged by politicians who are willing to bend or break the rules in order to stay in power. This explains why—more than half a century after the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965—for too many Americans, the right to vote and the assurance that every vote is counted fairly remains under siege.” He called the struggle for voting rights the “defining civil rights issue of our time.”

Holder has said he’s undecided about a presidential bid and told me recently he would make a decision by early March. But he certainly sounded like a would-be candidate in Iowa. He played up his personal biography as the grandchild of immigrants and highlighted former President Barack Obama’s “upset win” in the Iowa caucuses in 2008—something he may also be seeking as a long-shot candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I am dissatisfied, just as so many of you are dissatisfied, with the inequities that continue to divide us, the injustices all around us, and the refusal of some elected leaders to rise to this defining moment,” Holder told law students at Drake. “That’s why I cannot be silent—and I hope you won’t be silent—as our nation confronts this time of challenge and consequence.”

During an interview in Washington last week, Holder told me he wanted to see the Democratic candidates for president focus more on voting rights issues. “Democracy protection, voting rights, has broken through,” Holder said. “But interestingly, at least for now, it has not necessarily broken through with the presidential candidates. It is something that I think people who are going to seek the nomination of the party and ultimately represent the party should talk about, because it’s a winning one. Also, it’s a critical issue. It’s as important as all the other things that people are focusing on—health care, climate.”
