Can't convince them to vote and nothing I heard convinced me not to vote so fuck it.
Side notes tho -
- Some of y'all non-voting MFs low-key sound like y'all closet Trump supporters.
- You playin' yourself if you think whoever is elected can't make it worse for Black people.
Your issue is you think we're playing by your trivial restrictions, where we have to vote for either Trump or Hilary. For whatever reason you're ignoring the context.
A lot of us are saying we will never vote for Hilary due to the Clinton's track record of targeting and destroying the black community across the world. That's it.
Then most of us look at the other candidates and see that they're no good either, so we come to the conclusion that we will sit this one out and 'protest' the presidential election, because the candidates are shit. That way on the next election, all parties will see and understand that if you want the black vote, you have to make it worth our effort. We're done being the 'liberal', white man's lapdog. In the meantime, we'll work on creating our own power structures.
Just be real with yourself, you're simply okay with following white people's lead. It's okay, maybe you'll eventually see what's really going on, or maybe you'll be a pawn in their little game forever.
Actually in that scenario the party that wins (since one of them will win) will realize they don't need to give a shit about black voters and likely spend 4-8 years continuing to not give a shit about black voters.
And this brings us right back to "What exactly does not voting accomplish" outside of showing whatever party that wins that they can win without earning your vote as many in this thread have expressed is ultimately what they want? Sacrificing 4-8 years just so the losing party can do what? Alot can happen over the course of a presidential term. Is that 4-8 years worth the risk? That's the real question
