Summary:
Democrats are becoming increasingly concerned about a possible drop in Black voter turnout for the 2024 presidential election, according to party insiders. The worries arise from a 10% decrease in Black voter turnout in the 2022 midterms compared to 2018, a more substantial decline than any other racial or ethnic group, as per a Washington Post analysis. The decline was particularly significant among younger and male Black voters in crucial states like Georgia, where Democrats aim to mobilize Black voter support for President Biden in 2024.
The Democratic party has acknowledged the need to bolster their outreach efforts to this demographic. W. Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project, highlighted the need for Democrats to refocus their attention on Black male voters, who have shown lower levels of engagement. In response, Biden’s team has pledged to communicate more effectively about the benefits that the Black community has reaped under Biden’s administration, according to Cedric L. Richmond, a senior advisor at the Democratic National Committee.
However, Black voter advocates have identified deep-seated issues affecting Black voter turnout. Many Black men reportedly feel detached from the political process and uninspired by both parties’ policies. Terrance Woodbury, CEO of HIT Strategies, a polling firm, suggests that the Democratic party’s focus on countering Trump and Republican extremism doesn’t motivate younger Black men as much as arguments focused on policy benefits. Concerns are growing within the party that if they fail to address these issues, disenchanted Black voters might either abstain or, potentially, be swayed by Republican messaging on certain key issues.
Ross Perot
Incumbent
Hope the fascist hell you wish upon us treats you well. Work on your propaganda daddy Putin is really starting to just pay anyone.
Did they say that Ross Perot was a threat to the constitutional order? I find that unlikely, they certainly didn’t make this much noise about it the year before the election.
And yes, everyone who disagrees with you is a Putin bot – speaking of the early 90’s, do you remember see how Clinton supported Yeltsin’s coup which directly paved the way for Putin to take power in the first place? Of course, Bill couldn’t have known that, but maybe the lesson here is we shouldn’t be supported coup’s in other countries, ya know, overthrowing democracies and putting fascists in power. That’s bad right?
I totally agree, putting fascists in power is bad! So voting for a third party candidate that will split the vote of the left and bring fascism to the presidency is bad. If you really don’t understand this you are lying to yourself or arguing in bad faith. I’m sure you will reply, but I’m done.
I’m just saying we need to hold our Politicians accountable in order to make sure they do they right thing. I believe in Democracy and part of that is a having a lively debate about issues that affect us - not just lock step refusing to acknowledge that people are suffering. That doesn’t help us overall, and that certainly doesn’t help you win an election, so I hope that the presence of 3rd party candidates will force the democrats to move left on key issues, maybe they can spend the many millions of dollars they receive on mobilizing voters, because otherwise they are most likely going to lose. The Democrats need to deal with their own internal problems and start asking why the hugely unpopular GOP is so close to beating them instead of blaming everything on 3rd parties.
wishing for cornel west is not wishing for “fascist hell”.
Wishing? Fine you got me wish your ass off. Voting for him though is splitting the vote and putting a fascist in power. Wish all you want but if you don’t vote for the Democrat in the presidential election don’t expect me to share my bread scraps while we are in the reeducation camp!
if cornel west wins there isn’t going to be any camp.
but if you’re worried about shooting the vote, you should consider voting with the principal people who won’t vote for any other person.
