Didn’t black males vote Trump too?
Just the zoomers with brain rot. Black voters went from like 90% to 80% Democrats.
You’re probably confused because some headline said Trump doubled his support among black men and it didn’t mention the baseline was 15%. Which is, ya know, fucking stupid of them in the first place but it is what it is.
The shift is kind of what’s important. Actual black woman Kamala Harris couldn’t maintain the same level of support among black voters as Joe “You Ain’t Black” Biden. There are some pretty severe flaws in Harris’s campaign strategy that we need to study and rectify in the next four years.
Genuinely, what do you think she could specifically do to capture more of a demographic like that?
I’m not a political scientist, so these words carry no weight. That being said, she needed to convince people to vote for her, but she spent her whole campaign trying to convince people not to vote Trump. She needed stronger policy proposals. She needed to run on something like Medicare for all or raising the minimum wage. Ignore Trump entirely, and convince people to vote for her.
Instead, she promised more of the same that we’ve had for the last four years, in a time when most people are struggling more than they have in their entire lives. To the majority of voters, any change is perceived as an improvement, even if it’s a profoundly retarded change like introducing 100% tariffs on every import.
Anyone who was not voting against Trump by default shouldnt be voting at all. I dont blame her for expecting to operate in a world of sanity
Anyone who was not voting against Trump by default shouldnt be voting at all.
They didn’t vote, and that’s why we lost. We can absolutely blame her for not knowing what the landscape was like. Her goal was to win an election, not make her supporters feel good and smart and special. The people who don’t vote for us by default are actually the exact people that we need to persuade to vote for us
If she was campaigning based on how the world should work instead of how the world works then she wasn’t playing by the rules of the game, and that’s her fault, no one else’s. It’s like complaining about the EC after an election. The EC is part of the game. Part of the mechanics, part of the rules. If you know it’s there going into the game, you ought to be playing a very different game than someone who doesn’t know it exists.
(The EC should be removed, to be clear, but you don’t run a presidential election pretending it’s not there, and you don’t run a presidential election you want to win without expecting to sell voters on yourself by some metric other than not being your opponent.)
And yes, since it seems you have to say this as part of every such comment now, I voted for her. But she and her campaign are absolutely not blameless in this outcome.
It’s OK they will learn all sorts of new slurs from police, ICE, border patrol, people at Walmart
So, can college educated whites say it?
When they stop pretending to be offended on behalf of minority groups…
Actually I’m not qualified to even joke about that.
Don’t worry. The fascist regime will be issuing counterfeit passes to anyone who wants one.
Really, it’s racist to say that only black people can use it. /s
I hear that insane take from the same people that say BLM was Antifa’s terrorist movement.
Honestly they stole the word from white men, its just time for them to take back what rightfully belongs! /s
Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren’t stupid). They justify it by saying “it’s just a trashy person of any color”. So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don’t think they’ve tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation
Father in-law was throwing it around like it was nothing last Thanksgiving and we haven’t been over since.
I don’t play that shit.
Every time he used it, “I’m not racist” was said soon after. Sure Dan-o, interesting word choice considering.
the venn diagram of people who say “I’m not racist” and actual racists is a circle
they aren’t stupid
They are stupid as fuck. Your rich ass parents are racist idiots.
They aren’t rich. And tone it down
I will not. Your parents are racist idiots. You are rewarding them with a visit. So they put money directly in your account or do they press cash into your palm?
Now then: People have different definitions of rich/middle class. Depending on the person, let’s use me as an example. I will buy a house with a loan soon. I’m not even close to middle class. In fact I think our parents were the last of the middle class.
Dude, chill the fuck out. You are directing a weird level of anger at SOMEONE ELSE’S PARENTS. Calm your ass down.
So they put money directly in your account or do they press cash into your palm?
How exactly did you get to this from ‘visiting parents’?
Are you that transactional?
That’s a fantastic response/challenge.
Essentially: put your money where your mouth is.
Narrator: they didn’t.

Already handing out rape passes, it’s only a matter of days.
This country has got two brown people’s, ok three. Nah 4 if you count Peruvians. Ok 5, cuz of the Indian. Anyway! There’s the Hispanics and the Latinos…and the Latinos have got to go! WTF! Voting for Trump for?
Just kidding 😂. You know what happened in your gut. They actually did rig the elections.
fuck man… I chuckled hard. but i willingly gave that up a few years ago… didn’t feel right growing up in the burbs.

What’s this about?
Scapegoating minorities.
Yeah fuck minorities! It’s their fault the democrats lost and no one else’s, least of all the democrats themselves!
So exhausted of the minority bashing on lemmy and other leftist/alternative social media, it was here before but it got way worse after the election. Anybody who thinks its ok to judge an entire population of peoples based on the political associations of some is fucking stupid and can fuck right off.
Lol. Have you seen people on Lemmy talking about “conservatives” or “Republicans” this is literally Lemmy’s only way of thinking.
They voted to be deported. I won’t cry over that. Fuck around and find out.
If anyhing, it’s fucking hilarious, and they deserve to be laughed at. Maybe you won’t do dumb shit next time if you’re scared it’ll be used to make you look bad
Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds. Which group are you going after next? Trans people? Jews?
One of the reasons why I took a break from Lemmy for election week is I stopped being able to tell Hasbera from Democrats. In fact, the Hasbera are still trolling on Lemmy and reddit, blaming Palestinians for Harris’s lost.
We have been arguing Democrats are a party without a people for a long time. At this point, I honestly feel anything I type is lost to the void
It’s incredibly infuriating. And the worst part is you already see democrat mainstream media types setting their crosshairs on trans people. In 2028, the democratic party will run on the 2024 republican platform, just like they ran on the 2020 republican platform today, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it, because of these idiotic shitlibs.
Man… when I lived in Los Angeles. Latinos hated blacks, it surprised me - I heard some crazy shit that made me look like ಠ_ಠ
Gangs are no laughing matter
This is how you divide your competition.
I may have brain damage, but I can’t see this image without hearing Morpheus’ voice in my head screaming: “NEEOOOOO WAKE UP NEEEEOOO!”

i lold
I think that’s the point
Nonblacks have never had an n-word pass. It’s never ok.
Actually my cousin’s friend Jeremy gave me a one-time pass as long as I don’t tell his mom he threw rocks into Ms. Jones’s garden, but aside from that I agree.
Did your cousin’s friend Jeremy offer it unprompted or did you ask for that?
It was unprompted, though technically you could describe it as “under duress”, your honor.
I’m given to understand that Quentin Tarantino was given one by Samuel L Jackson, personally.
I’ve heard it said in person more by hispanics and pacific islanders than I’ve heard it from black or white people.
People saying it does not mean they have a pass.
They sure seem to think they have one.
What they think is irrelevant and you know it.
Yeah, and? I’m not saying it’s right or wrong. I’m just saying that it happens. No one ever seems to call out non-whites for saying it, so they’ll continue to.
Fun Fact: The n-word was used against anyone with dark enough skin, including Latinos, Indians, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders.
It’s kind of wild as a modern American reading people like Rudyard Kipling and having him just drop a casual n-word about Indians, honestly.
Yup, lets just keep pointing fingers so we never learn anything.
Liberals are literally scapegoating minorities instead of criticizing the DNC.
Even though if it was up to minorities Trump would not have been elected
Majority of white women voted Trump
Latino men how dare you!!!
Pointing the finger and learning nothing? Like I said?
They’re agreeing with you.
Yes, exactly.
“When you point a finger you have three pointing at you”
Is there a word for when something comes across as both clever and cringe at the same time?
“I’m 14 and this is deep”?
