Black vote decline in Early voting

[Peace_79]

Who in any of the elections threads has even suggested for folks to NOT vote locally?

So you are voting for local officials, because their policies and political influence will affect your life ...

But you are refusing to vote for the President of the United States because their policies and influence WILL NOT affect your life?

Make that make sense

With the FBI email investigation and Black people not voting things are falling in Trump favor of becoming President.

 

[AP21]

to the anti-voting crowd, serious question, are you doing anything in your communities to evoke change? are you involved in politics at the grassroots level?

no troll, im asking a genuine question

If dude becomes president, which I don't think he will, America has itself to blame for whatever happens from there on in.

To the voting crowd, What are the candidates that you are voting for...what are they doing for the community?

If you're asking if the anti-voting crowd is doing something..then you should ask yourself what is the candidates that you are voting for doing for the community since you're asking the folks who refuse to vote? and better yet, what the hell you're doing...

The reasons folks are not voting is because nothing is being done in the community....but yet you are voting for ppl that are not doing anything for the community and then asking us (the non voting crowd) what are we doing...is that ass backwards and silly?

Can't be anything..since you're voting for folks who don't give two shits about your community..

Never understood that question when folks ask that dumb shit..."if you're not voting, what are you doing" smh..

Silly ass niggas mane

When all else fails hit em with the "wat r u doin n ur cummity1!" Like when you arguing with a chick and when you hit her with facts and sound logic she rebuttals you with "your dick is small".

Local things have a major affect on my day to day life. As a collective locally we also have more influence and its easier to get them to deal with issues in my neighborhood or city. The president not at all.

My local officials senator, representative, govenor(I know they not on this ballot) can at least voice the concerns of the people from our district to the president to maybe have some sway in president's policies regardless of who is in the oval office next.

When did I ever say the presidents policies don't affect my life?

You need to stop going overboard hyping and ASSUMING shit I never said.

I'm right by the white house 5 days a week. I see these fool ass people out here protesting in front of the white house everyday rain, sleet or snow. All the shit they protesting is not even registering a blip on the president radar. Shit is a big ass waste of time.

Enough people voice their national concerns locally they can be heard because those seats don't have term limits like the presidents. So when re-election time rolls around if you acted deaf to the local peoples concerns you can be easily replaced. President don't have those same concerns truthfully. Regardless of what they do they either getting 4 or 8 years and can never run again. Locally people can lose their seat after holding it and run again for that same seat in the next election. So they have more accountability in decisions made in my life than the president.

Weed legalization in states and cities is an easy example of folks pressuring locally to get shit changed and it affected the easing of some federal regulations regarding weed.

again blacks beating themselves up for not conforming to the white mans agenda. If Trump becomes president rest assured it has little to do with us and more to do with whites,Asians,Hispanics, and the LGBT community. They all supported and encouraged Trump in little ways also so we shouldnt feel bad about the outcome.....none of them muhfuccas ever loved us anyway

 

[Peace_79]

Clinton wins we're f-cked

Trump wins we're f-cked

So what is voting for either of these two going to do???

The difference is that if Trump wins the majority of people in this country will be fucked. Whereas with Hillary the status quo will remain. Meanwhile likeminded black people are looking at these candidates and saying to themselves that no matter who wins black people will be fucked.

For Christ's sake ...

How can you paint something as complex as the collective future of an entire national ethnicity ... with the Absolute BROADEST of brush strokes imaginable?

Spoiler

If the ECONOMY tanks into DEPRESSION, after shipping away 10s of millions of people, giving record-breaking tax cuts to the rich, wasting trillions of dollars building a fucking wall around the country, and further squeezing the middle class

If our country becomes a RUSSIAN PUPPET on the world stage, and the rest of our foreign relationships collapse,

If the K-12 EDUCATION system and college becomes less effective and more EXPENSIVE

If the HEALTHCARE system gets MUCH worse and/or PRIVATIZED

If Stop and Frisk - blatant discrimination - becomes legalized; and POLICE AGRRESSION is intensified,

IF we absorb hundreds of trillions of dollars into our NATIONAL DEBT and reach to bring back Jobs from 100 years ago en masse instead of investing in clean energy and the innovative jobs of the future

If the WORLD enters NUCLEAR WAR,

None of that will "affect black people"?????

Will they provide protection against race soldiers? Yes or No. This is just the basics without really digging deeper.

Out of curiosity, how do you guys think Trump is going to tank the country if he is elected?

Shit goes both ways on the bolded. I see more "non-voters" going after voters than the other way around.

Look at the title of the other thread "...democrats toiling on the plantation" or some shit.

The majority of the time it seems like the non-voting crowd is on some looking down shit on the voting crowd like if voting somehow means you gave away your soul in the polling booth.

 

[D. Morgan]

Funny how easily Trump can just fuck up the whole economy, healthcare, education system(which is shit as is anyway. No where is it in the constitution that any american has the right to a proper education) but Obama couldn't do anything specific for black people because of congress. Will Trump not have a congress to answer to?
