Is this bait, or do you just talk like that?
Google, "Blacks ignored by Democrats".
If you haven't heard/read about this, your bubble is seriously tight and secured.
I'm not making the claim that, "all Black Americans" are voting for Trump. Rather that Democrats are losing Black voters. When questioned why, the general consensus, the general response, is that the Democrats have ignored Black communities. This wasn't just in one location like Atlanta, but all around the country. The most recent being NY and Michigan.
You aren't exactly wrong, per se, but at the same time are missing the point.
Honestly, sincerely... I don't even know the jackass who would put this article together and take a picture of a specific part of the room and make it a big deal. I have to assume they're White, they hate Whites, and vote for Biden. Seriously the literal article in of itself is pointless.
But not as pointless as any of the shit you're spewing here.
That person is a self proclaimed "us nationalist". What did you expect?
There are several photos floating around from different angles, whites dominant. Just do a search.
The alternative that you are seemingly trying to avoid is that the Trump organisation is terrible at staging.
Or that when Trump fans hear that he's coming to town... they're quick to flock to see him. Hey at least you're not claiming, "cultural appropriation". Right?
In a way, he is. He's now claiming that black people will relate to him now as he is a fellow victim of systemic judicial persecution.
I have to assume Biden is popular with whites and blacks and everybody who doesn't make asinine assumptions and is not racist and/or neofascist and doesn't want to vote for a Certified Sex Offender and Convicted Felon
Taking your point seriously, are you suggesting that Blacks would do better under Trump and the GOP? I mean, they just spent the last 3.5 years blocking each and every Dem initiative?
The Republicans shove a stick in the spokes and when the bike crashes they blame the Dems?
I'm not even American, so have no skin in the game, but the American Kabuki theatre is open for anyone to watch. Plus, it's way better than Netflix.
They literally did better under Trump. Literally.
And I agree with you, our government is full of idiots. I hate both sides. Just recently America learned that Republicans, at least, and more than likely the Democrats too, have AIPAC/Israeli handlers whispering into their ears. Essentially the U.S. has been hijacked the way I see it. We need leaders like Bukele. I support the idea of investigating every single member of government (local/state/federal) for corruption.
Oh shit, there it is: Both Sides!
LMAO
Yeah it's interesting. It seems like if you disagree, you're automatically the opposition. When in reality their opposition is really no different than them, they're just rooting for the other team. Me and others like me are sitting here like, "wtf??"
Funny how everyone that's "both sides" defends everything Trump does.
As to your link,
Im not sure if you realized the source you posted has a disclaimer: "[APP NOTE: Like all "Campaign Press Releases" this document was entirely the product of a partisan political campaign. It is archived at the APP as part of the record of campaign communications. The APP has not assessed the accuracy of any claims made here either pro or con.]"
Since this release came from Trump, it shouldn't be used to add validity to Trumps claims about helping African Americans, right?
