ITS ALOT OF nikkaS THAT LISTEN TO KENDRICK LAMAR THAT DIDNT VOTE TODAY

[T.he I.nformant]

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

​

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.

​

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


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



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.

I can dig a lot of this. It would be real interesting to see what would be the effect of there being greater participation at the local level.

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

[keon]

You still a slave breh?

i was never a slave you fukking dikkhead

 

[Pazzy]

Yeah but guess what... do you think black people are a monolithic where we all would vote for the same person and that we could determine the outcome of an election process where the winner is already predetermined by the powers that be. There's a reason why they say the popular vote doesn't mean shyt. Be real.

The benefit of voting is simply to say that you exercised your right to say you voiced your opinion. Doesn't mean that your opinion will be considered or will determine shyt. It's clear who the next president is going to be. They got Bernie and trump basically playing dummy for the person whose going to be in the white house. Democracy my ass.

 

[Wild self]

For everybody who says "why vote? They not gonna do anything for us"

Yall need to be voting worrying about the shyt the guy who gets in can do to us.

Exactly. Imagine Trump reviving the KKK and killing black people thousands fold? Or worse, dropping a nuclear weapon on 3rd world countries and fukking up the planet?

You can't stop a bullet

You gonna shoot me just because of the way I look sir

Or because I don't listen to Kendrick and I prefer future


Go outside and enjoy this nice weather

 

[yardman]

Any president that gets in office follows orders given to em the ones that deviate get the JFK shampoo & conditioning. Voting is an illusion or farce given to populous under the guise that you're involved in decisions of this country. The real wealthy people don't even pay fukking taxes

 

[lamont614]

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.

I've noticed this that's why the republicans control the house we always we have low turn out for local elections

 

[lamont614]

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

This plus Kendrick said he doesn't vote

JCOLE does tho

 

[HoldThisL]

The best bet is too choose the lesser of all evils and that is Bernie Sanders .

 

[wickedsm]

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

negged for that bullshyt.



it couldnt have been because we considered Obama the better candidate huh?
because mccain had that crazy bytch palin by his side implying blacks werent "true americans"
that their supporters had monkeys at their rallies?
mccain and the keating 5?

romney and his 47% remark
romneys wife and her "its our time remark"?
romney avoiding the draft and saying that the way his 5 sons were serving the country was by helping with his campaigns,
all the while willing to send everyone elses sons off to some get rich war for halliburtion?

both wanting to continue to lower taxes on the 1%?

wasnt any of that right fukk boy?

 

[MeachTheMonster]

This plus Kendrick said he doesn't vote

Must be why all these smart dumb nikkas think he's so deep

 

[wickedsm]
