Jesse Helms ad from 1990

Split the vote is a half baked idea, but not entirely without merit. A better idea would be to build a Super PAC similar to the IPAC, that advocates a clearly defined agenda for black people in this country.

I would support and contribute to such a PAC. A well funded and well coordinated PAC can "split" financial support to various candidates as long as they support aspects of an agenda that benefits black people.

But the notion that we should arbitrarily "split the vote" without proper coordination or concessions from a party whose base is openly resentful to black people is not a winning idea.

first of a all a PAC is neither here nor there

political power derives from economic power, so the most important thing for black people to focus on is business and capitalism, politics is actually a secondary issue, it comes after economics

but in terms of politics and actual voting, black people should split their vote, there are literally thousands of elections held every year and dozens of parties, i cant comment on every election or every candidate, all i was saying as a general rule there is no party that black people should be loyal too, the intellectual limitations of voting for the least racist party are obvious to anybody that isnt brainwashed by white liberalism

twism doesn't want you to split the vote, he wants you to vote republican I don't see him advocating for a shift to the greens

i have never advocated for any party, i have advocated for individuals regardless of the party, i have never seen a green party candidate that i admired

i would describe my political views as center right, so its unlikely that i would ever advocate a green party candidate

Like I said, your idea is half baked. It's empty rhetoric. Go back to the lab and flesh it out.

There is nothing that needs to be fleshed out, black people should split their votes and black peoples should stop the strategy of voting for the supposedly least racist party

There is nothing crazy in what I'm saying, there is nothing that needs to be fleshed out

I wasn't even advocating for any party or political position, I'm simply promoting intellectual freedom and an open environment where new paradigms can be created that will unleash the creative energies in the black community
