I want him to examine the policies of a democratic platform in contrast to the Republican parties platform.

I don’t think he’s equipped to do that
If they both suck why do you want that?
You don't? Why not? He comes off as smart to me. He probably has done that and you are now hearing his final assessment.
Politics is only interesting because it is how mankind governs itself but it is also a tedious, boring and corrupt process that is ultimately a popularity contest at best and who has the most $ at worst.

I don’t think the policies of the Democrats suck in contrast of that other republican party. Why are people constantly moving past examination?

Because the bottom line remains... Black folks will be a permanent underclass what have the democrats done SPECIFICALLY to remedy that situation they have done things for other racial groups specifically and yet black folks nada something has to give instead of voting for nothing. It's 2023 next election coming up what are we getting for OUR votes...

What are the major issues for you?
Free healthcare: both parties are against it. I want it and think it is waaay past due in the U.S.
Getting money out of politics: both parties are against it. I think this will help our politics greatly and have pols concentrate on the people first instead of their donors like they do currently.
Higher wages: Dems are more for it but not at a high enough rate. Minimum wage nationally needs to be $20 at least. They are currently proposing $15.
War in Ukraine: Dems are more Gung ho than Republicans. I don't care at all and think we should pull out. Not our problem.
Taxes: Repubs want them low as possible and Dems like to create exceptions out the ass making tax policy as confusing as possible. I want a simpler progressive tax code with very few exceptions that tax rich people (over $500K) to be at least 50%.

These are my major issues and both are failures IMO.

Right now in Newark, Ras Baraj has the one dollar homes for sale for Newark residents. He is steering off gentrification with this great policy amongst many hes instituting.

Bottom line with most of these discussions, The people who do the most talking never seem to pinpoint policies and always want to throw it back on someone. What policies are you reviewing? Let’s have a honest talk. Many people who do all the talking have no skin in the game. When the Republicans repeal the student loan forgiveness act in a few weeks, folks will still say both Republicans and Democrats are as bad.

What are you guys examining?

i want a list of things that democrats


You are admitting to coming in here never having any political curiosity. Its supposed to come to you in a list. :heh:

You can do this yourself. Then Compare it to Republican policies.

This is why we lose. Dudes dont care enough to even do the work but swear they know its failed while republicans are out there doing the absolute worst and dont get ounce of scrutiny.

Where's your list of policies that you are so enamored with from the Dems?
I gave you list and it is barely different from each other between the 2 dominant parties and you didn't address it and now all the 'dudes' are being painted with 1 brush. What part of the game is that?

As I said again… It’s obvious that you guys don’t do the work because you want somebody to do the label for you. Just say you’ve never had political curiosity even investigate what policy makers are doing and its impact on us.

It’s draining to hear people who claim they love Black people, but show that they have done zero work to know what policies are, or aren’t impacting us. Somehow, its on me to produce a list of policies you didnt bother looking for prior to coming in here.

Let’s call it a day. To bring up a list of policies, the next the coli would do is to tear them down and say they are ineffectual while not saying zero about republican policies.

We know the routine. Negros dont care. Cube wrote a 10 page black agenda while refusing to look at a war and peace sized agenda many in the Black caucus put together before he became an unwitting Trump tool.

Im tired.
