No Vote Brehs: What is it exactly that not voting gets you again?

[Micky Mikey]

Please explain this "no vote" brehs.

Black voter turnout is abysmally low in places like Louisiana and Mississipi and they have some of the lowest quality of living standards in the country. White Republicans dominate those states and black people have virtually no power.

When is not voting effective in theory and practice? Please tell me.

Why is it so hard for democrats to give something tangible instead of all this begging. Give black men a reason to go vote

That isn't what I asked. What has not voting gotten us? What has it gotten impiverished black people in states like Louisiana and Mississippi where they barely have any representation.

Gary Chambers supported reparations. Why wasn't that enough to get black men to vote him? Why did over 900k registered black voters choose not to vote for him?

Democratic party insider Lawrence O'Donnell explains:



“If you want to pull the major party that is closest to what you’re thinking, you must-YOU MUST-show them that you’re capable of NOT voting for them. If you don’t show them you’re capable of not voting for them, they don’t have to listen to you. I promise you that. I worked within the Democratic Party. I didn’t listen or have to listen to anything on the left while I was working within the Democratic Party, because the left had nowhere to go.” – Lawrence O’Donnell on the 2006 documentary, ‘An Unreasonable Man’.

By that logic Republicans should be dishing out reparations left and right.

guy vying for power: "i will forgive student loans"

guy gets power:

"i won't forgive student loans"
"i can't forgive student loans"
"i don't think i can forgive student loans"
"i'm not ready to forgive student loans"

*2 years later, now that we've gotten more of your votes*

"they won't let me forgive student loans"

no vote breh: "i don't care that you aren't smart enough to outthink your opponents and have a better plan to forgive student loans"

Samething as voting but with less work. Not a damn thing.

 

[Luke Cage]

I ask this question often, not voting hasn't proven to be an effective strategy in any point during modern american history that i've seen.

If you're talking about the freeze on the student loan forgiveness, you do realize that that the judge who blocked it was appointed by Trump right? Which ironically is the inevitable result of people NOT voting

The same thing voting gets you…

Coli breh: “I won’t vote because this party makes progress far too slowly or can’t deliver on politically controversial policy”

*Opposing party wins*
*Opposing party is categorically opposed to literally everything you stand for.*

Coli breh: “It’s all the same thing ”

Don't expect an honest answer.

All you're gonna get is the same ole disingenuous “beat around the bush” responses.
