Trump almost neck and neck with Biden after RNC.

Obama has a super majority for the first 2 years.

You stay lying.

Debunking the Myth: Obama’s Two-Year Supermajority

A supermajority is a filibuster-proof 60 or more Senate seats, allowing one party to pass legislation without votes from the other,
Don’t forget: the president needed a supermajority because of the Republicans’ unprecedented use of the filibuster as an obstruction tactic — they’ve used it more than 400 times.

But here’s the deal — the real deal — there actually wasn’t a two year supermajority.

This timeline shows the facts.
President Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009 with just 58 Senators to support his agenda.
He should have had 59, but Republicans contested Al Franken’s election in Minnesota and he didn’t get seated for seven months.
The President’s cause was helped in April when Pennsylvania’s Republican Senator Arlen Specter switched parties.
That gave the President 59 votes — still a vote shy of the super majority.

But one month later, Democratic Senator Byrd of West Virginia was hospitalized and was basically out of commission.
So while the President’s number on paper was 59 Senators — he was really working with just 58 Senators.
Then in July, Minnesota Senator Al Franken was finally sworn in, giving President Obama the magic 60 — but only in theory, because Senator Byrd was still out.

In August, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died and the number went back down to 59 again until Paul Kirk temporarily filled Kennedy’s seat in September.
Any pretense of a supermajority ended on February 4, 2010 when Republican Scott Brown was sworn into the seat Senator Kennedy once held.Do you see a two-year supermajority?
I didn’t think so.

Trump is going to win.

two weeks ago I didn’t think this now I do. I think he’s going to win Wisconsin and Minnesota which will give him the election

Obama has a super majority for the first 2 years. More blacks were shot by police under Obama and he did not do shit but sign blue live matter laws.

Plus under Obama what did we get? All we got was the LGBT agenda and More immigrants that we as black Americans got to compete for Jobs.

Then you wonder why the black vote participation is so low. Blacks are waking up and not falling for the shit anymore. Trump don’t scare us cut us a fucking check.

That’s a blatant lie. Straight up. I just gave you pure facts with links of how he tried to address police reform (within his power of the administrative branch) and how Trump and Beauregard reversed those policies. I literally gave you an example of how the ACA and Affirmatively Fair Housing Rule positively impacted Our people and how Trump worked to undo them.

Yet, you can’t even acknowledge that. I will freely admit he should have done more. But to literally overlook facts and not even give the benefit of truth and fact is amazing. Almost like you you are deliberately lying to create confusion. Come one brotha - y’all better than that. Stop the barbershop one liners. Folks have the internet and actually lived through rhe last 12 years.

Replace cutting a check with PPP loans and better resources for testing. Their - that’s your ask right now. See not that hard...Now, I wonder if there is a bill from a party that is pushing those resources for Black communities.... I’m not gonna give you a link this time. Just guess based on the last 70 years

The mainstream media will never admit it. But the election was over after he picked Kamala Harris. I study all this polling data and I follow red eagle YouTube channel.

Biden downfall started when he picked her. There is a certain trust factor when it comes to her. I personally do not trust her and if I don’t trust her then deep down I’m sure the average middle American does not either. Plus her having a white husband turns off black men especially with her record on criminal justice.

If Biden just picked a male candidate, Trump would have been finished and would have been a permanent 1 term president.

But the democrats are stupid and they have not learned anything from the 2016 election and why trump got elected. They picked a black VP that has almost no Mainstream appeal and can’t even put a lock on the black vote. They still have to spend millions of dollars to target black voters.

I don’t give 2 fucks about Biden, Harris and her White husband etc etc....The fact that Trump Responsible for A recession, 180,000 and going up dead, 30 million unemployed and Almost half of his administration convicted of crimes will very likely Be reelected shows that the Vast majority of Americans are idiots

 

[carsun1000]

This country's mentality is the hardest thing to figure out. it's like some people are willingly leading themselves to destruction. Why would anyone want Trump back for another 4 years? and Its only 30% of the population that are Trumpers. How can 30% defeat the rest of those who don't want him back???? Something is wrong with this calculation.

You don’t but you don’t understand white people. Most are still racist plus her being a black women will turn off some white women. White women are still white supremacist and her being the chance to make history to be the first women president ever is enough for White women to vote against Biden.

In the polls it might show support but when they go to the ballet Box it will be a different story. Just like Hilary Clinton found out the hard way.

 

[Camille]

So what is the solution we vote for Biden? A dude that was in Politics for 50+ years and Was VP to the first Black president ?

Mike Brown died when Biden was VP, Why did Obama and Biden NOT address Systematic Racism? lol

Please stop letting these politicians especially the Democrats fool you with bullshit. When they get back into power they are not going to do shit!

You know why? Because White Liberals and White Conservatives are both Racist and they Both Practice White Supremacy.

Why do you think they Call it Left Wing and Right Wing? Because its like a Plane with Wings, Nothing Change same direction.

There were consent decrees with Ferguson, Baltimore and a few other places, which Trump's DOJ didn't want to enforce. There is only so much that can be done where the feds don't have jurisdiction. Even with Trump who was willing to step all over rights, he was not able to do what he wanted to get ¦sanctuary cities to comply.

If we can get a dem house and Senate, we'd probably get national use of force guidelines pretty soon and a rolling back of military grade equipment. This had started under Obama but Trump wants to give local police military equipment to use on its own citizens.

It’s not really Trump. Is the democrats and there woke stupid identity politics.

Trump is bad but what choice do you have? You have Biden that is senile and has to hide in the basement Instead of being a leader and take charge and then you have Kamala who has no charisma and comes off fake and is somewhat unlikable.

If the democrats just picked a male candidate like Cuomo. It would have made moderates and independents feel ok. But they picked Kamala Harris. She had to drop out but all of sudden she is number 2 as VP. Sounds fishy. So I’m sure a lot of people said fuck it I will stick with trump.

It goes to show how democrats are living in a bubble and only care about power. They will change the rules when it does NOT fit there agenda or give them a edge.

Don't be surprised if the "election" is delayed, the public is going to get fucked.

 

[ugk]

Steve Schmidt said you also have to give Trump another 2-3% as a hidden vote. So yeah, it's probably close.

All the riots and looting were just a gift to Trump. Especially happening during the Republican Convention, couldn't have happen at a better time.

But maybe a close election is good.. If people don't think Biden has it in the bag they'll be more likely to turn out and vote.

So while I still don’t understand the logic of never asking or engaging the Republicans, I do know they give a fuck. That’s why they are trying to suppress the Black vote.

I agree with you. Our community needs to be educated on the issues and vote for the candidate whose policies better address our needs. You agree with that right? If no candidate, why not a write in candidate? I will continue to argue that most of y’all (those that use your arguments) are advocating for Us to not vote period.

Second, systemic racism can only be addressed at the Federal level. That’s why you aren’t asking for reparations from Cities. Sure cities and local politics are important, but that is crazy to think cities can deal with systemic racism. Cities don’t even have the power to ban redlining, etc..

He and three or four others are chaos agents who just want to cause discord. A couple have said they don't want black folks to vote because they want the system to collapse.

They aren't serious about reparations, it's just the topic they use to gaslight folks into not voting. They already have said the GOP won't do it. They know when the GOP is in power they gerrymander and pass laws to make it harder for dems to get power or change laws if they do. None of the dem candidates are ever worthy of a vote, and if the dems aren't in power to do it and the GOP won't do it, that means they don't get their agenda passed. There may be individual 3rd party or independent candidates for Congress that wins office, but that is unlikely to happen at the presidential level.

All that swing voter talk is just BS. I shared that I had voted GOP in the past and now I'm a traitor to my race who can't speak on the current climate because of my past voting record. None of it makes sense.

The time to fight it out is during the primary. Once the candidates are decided then we need to get them in office or no matter how good their plans are, they won't come to pass.



I've been saying this literally for years.

And unfortunately those are the only two choices we have at the moment. As I've said elsewhere before, the time to prepare a candidate to primary Hillary is NOW. Or at least with in the first 18 months of her term, if the police reforms and work she has promised to do on behalf of POC do not come to fruition. If she keeps her word, its a win. If she doesn't and gets primaried and loses, or even comes close to it, it sets the precedent and teaches others they need to keep their word to earn our vote, puts fear in those candidates and it's also a win. These candidates don't have to be our friend or have their "heart right" to work our agenda. The motivation to keep their job is sufficient.

Right now people are advocating not voting, as though a Trump presidency would not make us any worse off. He is proposing a nationwide stop and frisk, and if he can pick the SCOTUS to deny any challenges to it, he could actually eventually get away with it. White people who know the undertone to these types of laws, yet also fear government overreach, will still encourage them because the target POC, even though at anytime they can be used to target them as well. So they would screw themselves into the police state they fear. Not voting is not strategic. Voting for a third party who can't win is not strategic. Trump is far too dangerous and far too many are too blind to see it. I don't see why the fact he has alt-right racists running his campaign and setting his agenda is lost on so many people. They are trying to get their agenda of white supremacy and a resurgence of Jim Crow realized through Trump.

They are supposed to post her keynote in full when it becomes available. It's possible she went more in-depth. But I've basically said the same thing. I can understand if people don't see Hillary is progress, but the important thing is that we don't lose any progress. We would lose progress under Trump. His campaign is being run but alt-right racists, and you don't want them to be able to set the race narrative for the next 4-8 years. Things are bad enough as it is, but at least people at the very least give lip service to racial equality, and strive for the appearance of it. Trump and his supporters want to be openly racist, and we don't need to have it normalized that that type of behavior is ok. He validates their racism and hate. It's not a strategy to just not vote or to vote 3rd party, when the 3rd party candidate is not viable.

Aside from the racial tension at home, just how the world sees us at large would be affected. I don't know if they world leaders would be too scared to say anything to him for fear he'd go off, or if they would intentionally troll him in the hopes that he goes off.

To quote myself:

I've said from the beginning, Hillary is a perfect opportunity for black people to exert their political power, IF we hold her accountable. If she gets into office and does what she says she will do, it's a win. If she doesn't show any movement by the end of the first year and the black community comes up with a candidate to primary her with, and causes her to lose or fight hard for reelection, its a win. It will send a message not to take our support for granted. These candidates don't have to be our friends to work our agenda. Their heart doesn't have to be in the right place. They don't have to like us or we them. If they won't do the right thing because it is right, then they can be forced to do the right thing, because it is in their interest and benefits them to do so. (Keeping their job.)

I’m going to be honest .... after 2016 polls mean jack shit.

The polls were accurate. Nationally, HillDawg trounced the Orange One. The problem is that most people ignore state by state polls. In every battleground state the Orange One won, the gulf between HillDawg and the Orange One was inside the margin of error.

Nah the polling is showing Biden black turnout is polling around 68% which is terrible. If he can’t get it up to 88 or even 90% he is toast. That’s why you see the media drum up protest and unrest. It’s all to try to drum up the black vote.

I highly doubt Biden will do well with the suburbanites because he picked Harris. Harris was a terrible pick and if he loses it will be because of her.

All my info I get from betting odds forums.

That being said it still puzzles me that Black folks are still waiting for their oppressors to help us. Its not going to happen. We dont even need reparations, we need ownership. We make enough money to make change but the years off oppression are still working against us. You think my son, and your sons are not watching shutting down the NBA, or these new rappers owning everything they touch.... They are...... I would have made the league create referendum that they have 3 Black Owned teams by 20XX.... The amount of merch, music, etc that would sell would be astronomical.... Boom its over every league has a 1/4 Black owned teams..... Anyways what do I know I just believe in what we could do...

We have to start spending money with each other and owning the culture we produce. It will speed up the process.

BTW Im proud of the sister and these sororities are charged, its dope to see... Im voting for B/H if you voting otherwise or staying home.... Miss me..

The alphabet group have come a long way on social level.

So have we, in that sense.

Hispanics and Asians dont get more help then we do on a federal policy level, as far as I know.

So Asians are killing it by virtue of what they do, not what politicians do for them, correct? Well, except for H-1B, but that doesn't explain all their success.

(And I swear if someone comes in here trying to break Asians into different demos they need to slap themselves.)

Asians so successful that they don't even qualify as POC 90 percent of the time. Meanwhile, black community been politically hood rich for decades now. My city had black mayor when the Asian population in the U.S. was under 1 percent and they had no economic clout. Now Asian richer than whites with less crime while black community still playing token politics 50 + years later.

Trump. Biden. Don't matter to Asians. Come back in 4 years and either way they will be killing it. Why is that?
