    I wouldnt be complaining about not caring for the black vote because they don’t care. They use marginalized communities as human shields to defend their shitty politics. Then toss them back to the curb the day of the election.

      Black Americans have been one of the most reliable faction of the democratic party for 75 years.

      Are you suggesting they are stupid?

        No, he’s saying that national Democracts leverage the black community for votes, and in exchange, repeatedly screw them over - when they manage to remember they exist outside of election cycles.

        At least, that’s how I read his comment. It is only partially intelligible.

          And if black people can’t see that, they are just stupid, I am assuming he thinks.

          My father used to say this a lot. This is one of the oldest republican talking points in the world.

          A lot of leftists are just ore-republicans and that needs to be pushed against.

            It’s possible they think that, but it’s not something that is made clear through their comments here, at least not to me. But that’s mostly because they’re very poorly written, like I said, only partially intelligible.
