Did the Democrats send a message to Black people when they threw Jasmine Crockett under the bus?

Democrats have handled this year tremendously bad.

I’ve really lost a lot of my energy defending them.

I’ll still dunk on Trump and MAGA though, but these Democrats are soft as fukk. AOC, Jasmine, etc. are the only ones with a spine and nobody standing tall with them. The party is ass right now.

Party been getting put in handcuffs, insulted all over media and social media, just completely bodied and yet still can’t do anything with it. Literally, physically being escorted off their platforms.

More and more I see the Bothsiders argument, not even gonna lie. Democrats can be mad annoying and frustrating to deal with.

That's because we keep looking to women as our saviors which is weak and lowkey even faggy.
The republicans just have men on the forefront, with women playing the supporter role.
Why on earth would I want AOC or Jasmine Crocket to lead me and this country. :what:
When will people learn, it doesn't matter how good of a presenting person she is, if she is going up against a man, she will more than likely lose. Was Kamala versus trump not a wakeup call at all? Hillary??
Stop. Trying. To. Push. These. Sassy. Women. On. Us.

Honestly, I'd take a Condaleeza Rice type person. Not her politics but just her demeanor. I need her to be dang near a man to trust her in the process, because dang near every woman leader experience I've had in my life it was straight up awful. Let's bffr.

I don't like Jasmine Crockett or Democrats, but it's the usual suspects in anti-Democrat threads quiet as church mice in the threads about Republicans literally erasing black history.

Y'all aren't pro-black. You're anti-Democrat.


I voted for Kamala Harris’s but the dems in their current iteration ain’t shyt

So find a real life example to compare her to instead of a fictional character.

Carl Moseley Braun
Shirley Chisholm
Barbara Jordan

Would have all been criticized on this website in some form or fashion, just admit you/society hold her to unrealistic standards that you don’t ask for from other representatives.
Respectability Politics is part of the reason why black politics in DC has been stagnant. Everybody looking for the perfect mythical negro, instead of embracing the people we have in place.
Nah I just expect class from my Black people, I just said Obama gave the blue print. He's a real person.
Condaleeza Rice is another one.
Is it difficult heck yeah, but we're talking national politics and future presidential potential for a black woman, yes that's extremely hard in America but it's not unattainable.

They're an embarrassment, and I think it's obvious that Jasmine Crockett was not the representation they needed right now.

I ain't a fan of all that neck rolling "she tells it like it is!" Bullshyt personally .

There have been plenty of dignified Black women in congress/government. I mean, virtually ALL of them or they would’ve have made it. LOL
Most of them are reminiscent of Claire Huxtable. These are also the Black women who are found in corporate spaces.

That was basically Harris (yes I know she is mixed)! Point is America isn’t receptive to that. Whoever we have that is currently making waves, regardless of race or gender, is who we need to push to the front.

Corporate Dems are fukking up. This ain’t the time for polished ppl to fight against trash like Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green, etc.

America chose THIS AAAAAAFTER Obama.

Dems ain’t reading the room.
To add to that, in general you don't bring a knife to a gunfight. I think the whole "classy, dignified" ish is holding people back. A mirror needs to be shone on a lot of the BS going around currently.

Obama couldve talked more shyt and got away with it imo. The part thats being left out is she is sassy,pro black woman and speaks out against white supremacy. So what her aura represents is annoying to black men in this current climate. As she definitely seems to be more for black women then black men. Then shes probably turning off white women(maybe not) due to her leaning pro black woman ,more than women in general too. And obviously white men dont like her. She will pull in the demographic of black female democrats,and sassy black males who love the Dems as well. This is what they mean by shes not a team player. Your turning off too many folks from the team. Cant apply those same rules to Obama because hes a man. Plus he wasnt specefically cateringto black men:respect:.

And you think her matching his energy is a winning strategy? Not saying it is or isnt by the way,only time will tell.


All i know is chalking it up to her being "ghetto" is lazy and probably a little offensive. I think people are put off by her for more than that. Because whats the difference between her and Angela Rye who was well liked? You could say colorism,but i think most black men would say they are both attractive/hittable. The difference is Jasmine Crockett seems waaaaay more peformative ghetto:scust:


Not saying shes not authentically herself either. But it just feels like what weve seen from alot of Democrats,including Hillary. Where theres a method to the sassiness. Whether it be looking for a viral soundbite,or to draw praise and cosigns from black folks. It feels very panderish,and black folks are fatigued from that. So she could just be a casualty of the time were in. Oh well,all gravy trains must come to an end:respect:.

if anything I think it affects black women more than it does men. Black men are more favourable than black women when it comes to politics.

:yeshrug:It is what it is.

OK
You Coli c00ns are new kind of despicable. Talking about she’s “ghetto” or “loud” and not “classy enough”. You fools would be crying racism if your job singled you out with those descriptions.

Jasmine is the exact kind of fighter that Dems need to be cultivating and boosting.
