Camille!
I listed 2 of those 3 options because I ain't feel like typing all dat. You attacked me, tho.
The gun reform thing was addressed by
@Politic Negro as well. She won't have the authority to change it. So that's been quelled.
What I get from that bolded Killer Mike quote is that Human decency is a higher priority than politics & policy. The "don't matter" is followed by "
as much".
You on one today, ain't chu?
SMH. You gave 5 priorities. I said
I listed 3 options.
1) Not enough time. I know you are single and own a business. Not everyone has time or energy to follow politics.
2) Not interested. A lot of people don't tune in until right before the elections, if at all. The just want to vote and trust things will workout with whomever wins. Some find it boring. Some don't see how it relates to them. Some believe the nonsense that both parties are the same.
3) Mentally lazy. That was bad phrasing on my part. This could also just be voters who aren't sure what to believe because there is so much overwhelming and contradictory information out there. Some people want others to digest the news of the day and tell them what to think. They are swayed by whomever has the better argument, or whether or not they respect or identify with whomever is offering the opinion. Or what ads scare, motivate or enrage them.
I was some combination of all 3 at one time or another.
You went straight for the negative option and glossed over everything else.
Human decency wasn't enough for KM in the past. One meeting with Kemp and all the fuckery he has committed against black Georgians went out the door. Had KM met with Kemp and pointed out his policies he supports, compared his policies with Abrams, etc, the backlash wouldn't have been as bad, but that's not what happened. After months of talking about policies for black folk and how Stacey was falling short, it took one meeting with Kemp and it went from we need a black agenda and black centered policies to he's good people's, all the evidence/actions to the contrary be damned.
I expect Kemp or any other politician to be nice and personable when he is meeting with someone for a photo OP and hoping to use them to siphon votes from black people. ONE meeting was all it took to walk away from what he had been preaching to everyone else for YEARS. So I have a few questions: Did he really believe that in the first place or was he just being a chaos agent trying to insert himself into dem politics? Is he weak when it comes to his convictions, willing to abandon them for access to power? Is he gullible and easily swayed by a handshake and a lil attention? Has his convictions changed and he hasnt told anyone? People evolve so it's possible. We'll find out eventually, but he wont be taken seriously if he goes back to requiring a black adenda from dems and just for the GOP to be good peoples. I personally don't need a policy labeled under black agenda, but that has not been the stance he has been trying to get others to adopt.
I'm convinced when KM said Stacey wasn't meeting with black men, he meant she wasn't meeting with HIM. After all the trash he talked about her, I wouldn't have met with him either. Its like he was purposely misrepresenting her actions and hoping to pressure her to come on his show to set things right. I'm glad she didn't fall for it.
Seasoned!
