Another thing about the devastating #usaelection2024 result...

MSM especially #cnn #msnbc and similar are dissecting the #democraticparty campaign and #harriswalz polling disaster. Pinning the #USAElections loss on door knocking or advertising or #wokeness or #transcommunity or #blackvoters or #LatinoVote or the wind coming from NW or .. or .. or ..

IF #HARRIS HAD SAID WORD FOR WORD EVERYTHING TRUMP HAD SAID. IF she had swayed and danced to Ave Maria. IF she had talked exactly the same about Hannibal Lector, sharks, bacon, boats ... IF she had faked oral sex with a microphone. If she'd voiced every single word of nonsense SHE STILL WOULDVE LOST.

Pinning the election loss onto communities who have *always needed support* and *will continue to need support* is both cruel and pointless.

You cannot be "too woke" ppl, bc being woke is about kindness and empathy. And God knows the marginalised communities need and deserve that. Especially now. Especially when news networks are looking to dump the blame somewhere.

So why did she lose????
Simply put because SHES A WOMAN.

And WAY more than their hated of #Trans, #LGBTQI+ , #Blacks, #Latinos, #Asians, #immigrants (legal and illegal ) THESE WHITE ENTITLED SUPREMACIST MEN ABSOLUTELY HATE WOMEN, EXCEPT AS PLAYTHINGS TO SHAG OR BREED WITH.

And they have convinced young and impressionable men (and some utterly blinkered women) that a woman is not capable of anything, except shagging breeding and serving males. And that includes the VP.

Currently America has a majority of just-not-very-nice people who just want a supersized version of The Jerry Springer Show with Trump as host and Harris as the punching bag.

Pro-democracy family Joe Biden loves "America"which is why he stepped and should be commended for that My issue what WASHINGTON Democrats did publicly to Biden did more damaged than good not just too him but the party as a whole If the leaders & donors had concerns about Biden after that debate" should have addressed that at the White House privately not in public and he would have stepped down sooner It was Never about POWER for him.And #BlackVoters NEVER abandoned him Dems did

An amends for an earlier post…

While crazy picked up more than in 2024, this number was insignificant compared to his gains with white men, usually those who are uneducated.

I do believe that says it all… this and media outlets like the and social media, especially and , conspired to form the perfect storm.

I also really wish people in our country were better educated about what factors influence our economy.

"Frederick Douglass knew that in a binary political system, there would be one party that more clearly stood for racial progress and unity than the other.

For him, there was no question which party to support.

Political options today remain as binary and as clear as they were 140 years ago. Make your choice."

There's always been deep wisdom in African-American culture as it deals with mainstream culture. We ignore it to our peril.

Black Americans have long since been forced to see that neither party in our binary political system is ideal or pure, and the choice is always between the worse or the less worse. Tisby writes,

"Choosing between two candidates—neither of whom represent your values completely—is nothing new. And it is not an excuse to withdraw from the political process."

As Jemar Tisby reminds us, Black Americans have never had the luxury of purism as they make their political choices — a luxury that only privileged people, the kind who can toy with voting for Jill Stein or not voting at all – in either case, effectively voting for Trump – can afford.

Take The Near Impossible #LiteracyTest #Louisiana Used to Suppress the #BlackVote (1964)

in History, Politics | October 21st, 2024

"In William Faulkner’s 1938 novel The Unvanquished, the implacable Colonel Sartoris takes drastic action to stop the election of a black Republican candidate to office after the Civil War, destroying the #ballots of #BlackVoters and shooting two Northern carpetbaggers. While such dramatic means of #VoterSuppression occurred often enough in the Reconstruction South, tactics of electoral exclusion refined over time, such that by the mid-twentieth century the #JimCrowSouth relied largely on nearly impossible-to-pass literacy tests to impede free and fair elections.

"These tests, writes Rebecca Onion at Slate, were 'supposedly applicable to both white and black prospective voters who couldn’t prove a certain level of education' (typically up to the fifth grade). Yet they were 'in actuality disproportionately administered to black voters.'

"Additionally, many of the tests were rigged so that registrars could give potential voters an easy or a difficult version, and could score them differently as well. For example, the Veterans of the #CivilRights Movement describes a test administered in #Alabama that is so entirely subjective that it measures the registrar’s shrewdness and cunning more than anything else.

"The test here from #Louisiana consists of questions so ambiguous that no one, whatever their level of education, can divine a 'right' or 'wrong' answer to most of them. And yet, as the instructions state, 'one wrong answer denotes failure of the test,' an impossible standard for even a legitimate exam. Even worse, voters had only ten minutes to complete the three-page, 30-question document. The Louisiana test dates from 1964, the year before the passage of the #VotingRightsAct, which effectively put an end to these blatantly discriminatory practices."

«There are more than 750,000 Arab Americans of voting age in swing states. Based on AAI’s polling shift, Democrats could lose between 115,000 and 130,000 Arab-American votes in these states. If the losses were proportional to the voting-age population by state, Democrats could lose…100,000 swing-state votes…»
