In what case would she still not have won GA if the turnout didn’t drop off among BLK men or if they hadn’t shifted to DT? Whichever you say they’re related and that’s my 2nd big point that you’re not responding to. We DID have the greatest shift since 64 and the largest drop off of any demo. Facts

You have anything to support that? Each of the swing states contained a city with a huge Black population. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we had both the greatest turnout drop off and the greatest percentage shift. Those things are related and that common denominator changed the election.

Again looking at Georgia for example it’s clear that had Black Men shown up in the same rate as 2020 than Kamala wins the state. That’s not even including the greatest political shift of any demographic. I disagree with your statement that the shift was non consequential because it isn’t factual.

We Democrats need to soley focus on bringing back Black men and destroying the narratives of coons like Stephen A and lunatics like the far left who spread both parties are the same bs

It’s funny how, on one hand, lefties are freaking out about Qatar building a training base in the US because they can’t be trusted, but on the other hand, lap up every Al Jazeera article against Israel like it’s the holy grail of news.

It is! It’s something we have to fix

It’s really really sad and it needs to be the number one thing we as Black people are discussing about fixing.

A widespread issue I find on the left is that ppl by and large only consider Dem leadership to be those in Congress and not actually locally elected officials like Governors, Mayors, state legislatures, and city councils. Republicans get that which is why they fight so hard for even school boards

The government is shut down. Thousands of federal workers just got fired over it. I’m perfectly fine with Congress being hyper focused on that issue and the Epstein files. They can’t even get to a vote on those matters let alone the other issues. Governors and Mayors and Courts have a role as well.

I think every Democratic leader is a faced with a different crisis that they must be hyper-vigilant on. Democrats in Congress are focused on the crisis that only they can fight. Democratic Governors and Mayors are focused on the crisis that only they can fight.

As a Black voter I don’t focus on the voting behavior of white ppl since it’s been the same since 1964. Black men are the story of the 2024 election. We shifted more than any other demographic. Our drop off rate was more than anything other demographic. All this w a Black Woman on the ballot.

So in my previous post I wondered whether it was voter suppression or voter apathy that led to the drop off in Georgia but these charts show that it was specifically Black Men under 50 that contributed to this and it wasn’t a voter suppression issue because it would’ve ben Black people of all ages

I’m interested in how much of this was due to voter suppression and how much was due to voter apathy based on misinformation

With everything going on there is still so many people completely disengaged from it all. Ngl it’s such a huge turn off.

This is alarming.

At some point, people need to hold the media accountable, for NOT holding Republicans accountable, for the harm they're causing.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
