AOC: "Voting for Biden is not about whether or not you agree with him... November is about survival."

Why are so many people talking about "survival" and this election? If these people are here to send the message then obviously they survived 4 years of that clown. What are they going to do different in the next 4 that will threaten their survival? Black people have survived worse and we'll survive this as well.
Tell that the 200,000 or so dead from coronavirus.
 
adorable.

bunch of dudes on here would be one of the slaves crying if massa's plantation started burning, and don't even see it.

Gonna vote for Biden cause don't really like Trump and his policies, but if he does get re-elected I hope he finishes what he started and set fire to the rest of this bitch cause they will deserve it.

Props for being of independent mind.
 
The first reason is that we are starting to see the first cataclysmic effects of climate change through forest fires and natural disasters. What happens if we have another four years of a president hell bent on cutting environmental regulation?

As of this morning we've had over 206,000 Americans die of covid-19 a disproportionate number of them Black. What happens if we have another four year of a president who downplays the risks and encourages people to violate public safety measures? yes, there will probably be a vaccine in the next 4 years, but do you really think it's the last pandemic we're going to face?

IMO, the biggest reason of all is that Trump does not have enough supporters to win either the popular vote or the electoral college. If he gets to remain president on a technicality then democracy no longer matters. That means the only real way you have to affect political change is to take to the streets, something Trump has promised to punish as an act of terrorism.

Yes, Black people will survive, but it will be the same as the Jews surviving Nazi Germany.

All excellent points. Let's get into this. The environment is much larger than the US. It will take a global effort to bring the world back from the brink. If the US adopted the most forward thinking stringent environmental regulations ever it would still be putting a band aid on a gunshot wound. The environmental battle is already lost. What we're doing these days after fires and storms is just perpetual cleanup.

The same can be said about a pandemic. It will take a global cooperative response to beat it. I think the states already know there's no one coming from the federal level and they have responded accordingly. Why not keep doing the same?

On November 2nd everyone that believes the world will end on November 4th if trump wins should be quitting their jobs and selling their homes right? Exactly. I don't think they'll be doing that either. They will simply make the necessary adjustments and keep on truckin. One fool in the oval office can't shatter a nation. Yes he can make quite a few people uncomfortable and fuck up some people's money but this country is designed to weather political storms and this one is no different.
 
America is NOTHING like Nazi Germany. This is disgustingly hyperbolic.
That's funny being that the Nazi studied America on how to do things and Trump has been speaking and acting in the same way Hitler was speaking and acting during his rise to power.
 
They're afraid that he might do something stupid that could set off another world war - which will involve nukes...

...and nobody will survive that.

Oh ok. I haven't heard about any nuclear threats. It seems all the people that would be likely targets of US nuclear bombs have trump on his knees sucking them off. Russia and North Korea come to mind.

I guess I missed the parts of Hitler's reign where he helped Jews and nonwhites.
 
Germany became Nazi Germany when an unelected white extremist leader seized absolute power. That is exactly what will happen if Trump gets a second term.

You mean if Trump *wins* a second term? So he just waiting until his second term to be a openly racist monster? Black people have somehow survived and in many cases thrived under Trump....but all that changes starting in 2021 if he wins?

Nothing like nice white liberal allies to reinforce black victimization.

the environment may be a global effort, but the United States suffers far more natural disasters than most other countries do. The only way forward is to have a comprehensive response and a plan to stop new ones from happening. Trump has undermined both of these systems and will continue to do so if he's allowed to stay in office.

One of the biggest reasons that the United States response to covid-19 has been such a disaster is precisely because there's no help coming from the Federal government. Even worse, the federal government is fighting to take away people's healthcare in court, silencing medical experts from giving life-saving information, and threatened to defund States that don't open their economies fast enough. Trump even went so far as to encourage armed rebellion against state governments that enforce public safety orders.

The reason some fool in the oval office can't shatter a nation is because there are two other co-equal branches of the federal government. What happens when Trump controls all three? he's already about to have a two-thirds majority in the supreme court and as collaborated with Republican senators to block any Democratic judicial appointments.

The GOP has put in decades of painstaking work to hack democracy. Donald Trump has been their biggest asset in that cause. That's why our survival depends on getting rid of him

You can't tell these folk nothing.

Trump doesn't have nearly enough followers to win an honest election. If he remains president for the next 4 years it will be because of court challenges, technicalities, and democracy hacks we haven't even figured out yet. Not because of the will of the people.

Great points as usual. I don't agree that US environmental policies will have any meaningful impact on natural disasters though. Hurricanes start in the south Atlantic. The biggest carbon emitters are the Chinese. We may have more natural disasters but the impacts are far less so the frequency doesn't matter.

You're right about the covid response. I just happen to find the opportunity in it. A lot of the idiots that put trump in office will take it in the face with such a weak response and I for one celebrate their removal. Herman Cain comes to mind. I think intelligent people recognize trump for the con man he is and I also believe intelligent people will get through this pandemic because they DO believe the science and are taking the protective measures to stay safe.

The system will correct itself. If the GOP gets all branches of government they will do what they always do and eventually an over correction will be put in place. They'll fuck up and the people will elect a clean up crew. If you step back and look at the history of the political system in this country you'll start to see that pattern over and over. There's nothing new to see here.

Yeah republicans can t govern. In my lifetime they usually leave some shit that the new democrat administration has to clean up.

H.W's Iraq war and W's housing crisis. Now DJ's coronavirus debacle.
 
I get it. She knows she will get nothing from another 4 years of Trump. With Biden, I really believe she is on his ass day one.

A few reasons why. She's proven she's not afraid to rock the boat. She's team Sanders. Also, she knows she has the far left to help her. The far left is the most vocal and hardcore. Attacking a straight, white man ain't going to be shit for AOC.

We know deep down she can't stand Biden. His 40+ year history is against everything she claims to stand for. The goal of getting Trump out is the only thing keeping her in line. She might be at Biden more than FOX news after he wins.

You're right about the hurricanes. Even if the green New deal were to be enacted in full tomorrow morning we would still have them. That's why we need federal leaders who can enact successful relief efforts that save as many lives and stop as much damage as possible.

Donald Trump has proven that he is not only incapable of doing this, but unwilling to even try unless it happens in a red or purple state.

As for stopping future damage, China is the world's biggest polluter, but most of that pollution comes from burning PETcoke. A highly toxic fuel that's also one of the United States biggest exports.

The idea that covid-19 is worse for people who put Trump in in power is a myth. Yes, it's the red States getting hit the hardest now, but it certainly wasn't that way in the beginning. Also, the worst affected places in most red States are blue cities and counties.

I certainly agree that a democratic system will eventually straighten itself out. The problem is that the American system has been getting steadily less democratic since the 1965 voting rights act. our votes mean less than ever before and if we don't get Trump out of office they won't mean anything at all.
 
Why are so many people talking about "survival" and this election? If these people are here to send the message then obviously they survived 4 years of that clown. What are they going to do different in the next 4 that will threaten their survival? Black people have survived worse and we'll survive this as well.

Yeah, not a pandemic tho. And we not trying to go back to just surviving Homie. I hear you tho.

A lot of those 200,000 COVID dead are black. They didn't survive the current term. What does it mean to survive? You're worse off than you were 4 years ago do you want to be worse off than you are now. Maybe that's how they should put it.
 
Says who? The polls and media that told us he had no chance of winning in 2016?

And they were right!

If 2016 had been a fair and honest election Donald Trump would have lost. The only reason he got in by the skin of his ass was because of foreign interference.

These dudes really think just surviving is a great thing. I put that surviving in the same category with the "I'm strong black woman" talking points. GTFOH....

We're a lot better off than just surviving. Black people are the most resilient in the country. Take an inventory of the people you know and how they're doing. You've obviously given this a lot of thought. Make sure your people are just as thoughtful and ya'll will be just fine. This fucker isn't going to kill us. And I hope we're not frightened into making decisions based on that myth.
