[lamont614]

This nikka Twitter avi make me wanna punch him in the face.

I know Brazilian jijusti I advise you not to run up sir

The only way to fix a flawed process is to participate. staying home will never change anything. And there will never be a perfect candidate. You find what issues are important to you and you support the candidate that speaks to those issues.

Why do you think southern racists cacs have such a stronghold on power even though they are a minority? It's cause they go out and vote no matter what. They've been doing it for hundreds of years.

Southern racist cacs are a minority in the South? I need to see them receipts.

 

[lamont614]

It's a lot easier to say that the "system is against me and can't be changed" than to actually try to change it.

This ...nigggas want to complain and be lazy

they are a minority in America, yet trump is dominating.

its cause they are very active in politics. They turn out to vote, they go to these rallies, they donate to candidates, etc,etc

 

[MeachTheMonster]

its a clear demonstrable fact that low voter turnout = a win for republicans and high voter turnout = a win for Dems.

its cause those racist white folks ALWAYS vote, no matter who's the candidate, no matter what the issues are. they realize the power that voting has granted them and they use it. Now if only young/black/liberal people would understand this we could eradicate them from national politics altogether.

You making a lot of assumptions doggy. We're still in the primaries. We have yet to see whether Trump would dominate if he becomes the Republican candidate. Besides, voting under the Electoral College is a state-by-state thing. We don't just elect the president by a popular vote. Your focus on Trump dominating in traditional red states doesn't really say that much for how he would do in the general election. Lastly, voter turnout is an issue that affects both parties. Please show me something that shows it adversely impacts Dems more than Reps. shyt, hasn't it been Obama and now Bernie who are setting records for the number of individual campaign donations.

Edit: also OP, the twitter account (which may or may not be OP) and the thread premise is incredibly dumb, but not worth wasting more than this half a bar

Too many people died to give me the right to vote for me to sit home. I always vote. Even if you don't like national candidates do yourself a solid and figure out who your state/local representatives are. Figure out who is on your school boards, and whether they're voting to ban African American literature like a lot of boards are in the south. Figure out who your sheriff is and what his opinions are on bodycams.

Yep.

You can either vote

Or not vote and hope the country white people that hate you also don't vote against your interests and end up electing politicians and judges that enact laws that give police the right to hassle you because you look "suspicious" (for instance)

Spoiler

whoops, too late for my New York brehs

It's totally within your right to withhold your vote, just don't complain when a racist white guy does vote and their choice screws you over worse than you would have normally been.

At the end of the day we need more black politicians with vested interests in our community but that doesn't necessarily mean we should sit back and allow racists and others to dictate how our and our children's lives will be because they decided to spend a couple hours one day a year to vote.

And you can't name anything specific that Obama had done for black people.

I see why you've earned that woat banner

My brothers keeper.

But your point is taken.

I'm talking about on his side. Trump supporter types are the minority, but they are the most vocal. Moderate republicans are staying home.

Besides, voting under the Electoral College is a state-by-state thing. We don't just elect the president by a popular vote.

True, but it's not just about the president. They vote EVERYTIME for congress, which is arguably more important. Historically blacks and liberals stay home for those elections, which is why the Tea party currently runs congress despite most of the country disagreeing with them on the issues.

Your focus on Trump dominating in traditional red states doesn't really say that much for how he would do in the general election.

He will lose the general. As I said his supporters are a minority in the country.

Lastly, voter turnout is an issue that affects both parties. Please show me something that shows it adversely impacts Dems more than Reps. shyt, hasn't it been Obama and now Bernie who are setting records for the number of individual campaign donations.

It's a clear known fact that low voter turnout equals a loss for dems. I'm trying to find a graph I saw before, but i did find this article talking about it for the 2014 elections.

One Reason Why the Democrats Lost So Big in Midterms: Exceptionally Low Voter Turnout

When turnout falls, Democrats perform worse in elections. That general pattern is well known. In making their forecasts, pollsters try to estimate what that turnout will be on the basis of previous elections.

And this is exactly why Rebulicans were so surprised at Obamas landlide victory. According to their polls Obama was losing, but there was unexpected and unprecedented turnout among young/black/liberal voters that rendered their estimates useless.

Very true, it's the same in Europe. For some reason, people on the "left" tend to be more critical of their own politicians than those on the "right", and therefore will be more likely not to vote for whatever reason. I think deep within people on the left (I include myself in that) have difficulty putting themselves 100 % behind a candidate, maybe because it somehow resembles modern-day cult personnality followings. Typically if you look at candidates on the right they put more of their personnality out there (Berlusconi, Sarkozy, Trump) more than candidates on the left. But elections have become a popularity contest, something to which a lot of people on the left don't really relate (I feel Obama is an exception).

Ironically all those people on the right who are "anti-system" use it far more.

Only online does sanders get love. Most black people always was behind Clinton not because her policy but because blind loyalty. Just like Obama got the Black vote because he was black

No. Hilary gets support cause the Clinton years were some of the best ever for black people.

In hindsight a lot of shyt that happened during that time was horrible for us overall. But it was during the Clinton years where black people made it out of poverty to middle class.

My dad has no highshool diploma, but is currently retired driving a Benz living in a nice middle class suburb. All that was made possible through the Clinton years.

Young people can look back on it and see how it's harmed us, but as we see in this thread, young people aren't going to vote, older black folks are.

 

[Woodwerkz]

If he was truly was speaking realness then he'd know that voting in Presidential elections don't matter because of the Electoral college. Black people aren't numerous enough in numbers to matter in voting then.
Now during local elections...that's when it does matter and even when choosing Congress members.

I'm confused...

Does Cole and K Dot encourage voting in their music?

Yeah, shyt is confusing.

I guess the thread premise is EITHER...

K-Dot and J. Cole make conscious and political music that is popular but not inspirational enough to get people to engage in the political process

OR

People praise the social critiques/messages in K-Dot and J. Cole's music but don't actively try and create any social change themselves because they don't vote

So does this mean that people that don't love K Dot and Cole but fukk with Future and Drake are totally off the hook and don't have any social responsibility?

What a weird concept...I'm sure it made sense to him when he tweeted it though..

 

[keon]

I dont listen to kdot nor am i ever voting again(only voted twice for obama)

Fukk all ofem..no presidents decision/course of action has ever affected me personally in a major way at anytime in my life..ever.

I kinda wanna see trump win now just for the fukkery thou honestly
