Summary:
Democrats are becoming increasingly concerned about a possible drop in Black voter turnout for the 2024 presidential election, according to party insiders. The worries arise from a 10% decrease in Black voter turnout in the 2022 midterms compared to 2018, a more substantial decline than any other racial or ethnic group, as per a Washington Post analysis. The decline was particularly significant among younger and male Black voters in crucial states like Georgia, where Democrats aim to mobilize Black voter support for President Biden in 2024.
The Democratic party has acknowledged the need to bolster their outreach efforts to this demographic. W. Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project, highlighted the need for Democrats to refocus their attention on Black male voters, who have shown lower levels of engagement. In response, Biden’s team has pledged to communicate more effectively about the benefits that the Black community has reaped under Biden’s administration, according to Cedric L. Richmond, a senior advisor at the Democratic National Committee.
However, Black voter advocates have identified deep-seated issues affecting Black voter turnout. Many Black men reportedly feel detached from the political process and uninspired by both parties’ policies. Terrance Woodbury, CEO of HIT Strategies, a polling firm, suggests that the Democratic party’s focus on countering Trump and Republican extremism doesn’t motivate younger Black men as much as arguments focused on policy benefits. Concerns are growing within the party that if they fail to address these issues, disenchanted Black voters might either abstain or, potentially, be swayed by Republican messaging on certain key issues.
If a candidate wants my vote, they need to earn it. I’ve done enough of voting against, and from now on I’m only voting for.
What I see is that Democrats can’t put up any candidates who are actually worth voting for and then to top it off they push insulting slogans like “Vote Blue No Matter Who.” If other Democratic voters really want to swallow that with no pushback, that is their business. But I’m not doing it anymore.
But don’t you dare go and demand who I vote for while claiming the consequences of not would result in some imagined violence. It’s bad enough when the DNC is lying to me but then I have to read nonsense takes of Liberals making threats because they’ve scared themselves to death with their own propaganda.
It’s not imagined. It’s already happened and you still don’t care. Is voting really that difficult for you? Hundreds of millions of people but you’ll only participate if the leader of everyone gets to be your first pick. That’s some childish shit right there.
