“Please, for the love of God, do not vote for us. We need to lose, so we can fund raise on being the underdog good guys! Please oh please don’t vote for us. We’ll do whatever you don’t want, we’ll make it harder to vote, we’ll give massive amounts of money to the military and none to you, we’ll cave on literally every point of our campaign promises. We promise, we will be just the worst if you don’t vote for us. We need to be losers for this thing to work”

Trump screwed up that badly to get Biden elected, like that’s amazing when you think about it. Without covid he would have ate Joe for breakfast.

If he had gotten $2k checks out the door in October, he would’ve won. Not a doubt in mind.

Why do you think his numbers grew among PoCs? This tax season, you’re going to see a lot of stories about how families are mad that their refund checks were smaller due to that child tax credit every month. And guess who is going to be the most affected and most vulnerable?

Trump was a huge boon to the GOP. He gave them a kind of legitimacy they’d struggled to claim since Reagan left office.

But he was paddling upstream in a country that was trending bluer with every election cycle. He squeaked by in 2016 on razor thin margins (just like Bush in '00) and lost the “I hate incumbents” vote, despite enjoying some of the biggest turnout in GOP history.

Biden is going to reverse 40 years of aggregated Dem gains inside a single two year cycle. By the time he’s out of office, Republicans won’t need to bother with gerrymandering, because Dems will be out like the Whigs of 1860.

I am once again asking black voters to stop participating in a system that still exploits them for democrat votes.

Why didn’t you vote for PSL or some other self-described socialist or communist?

i mean black voter participation has consistently been lower than that of white people. also the political challenge before the radical left isn’t actually participation in the voting process since, vote or no vote, there’s not yet a revolutionary movement of the working class that people can channel their energy through.

Obviously always vote

You could also just actualize your vote via kinetic methods

participating in a system

I appreciate trying to apply the best interpretation but this seems to preclude that reading
