[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t read this thread, but I’m black and definitely not voting for Biden, even if that means trump. I voted for biden the first time, but the general elitism, and pandering to race relations and social justice, the lack of account ability for the border issue, and the whole defund the police ethos of Biden / Kamala is a nonstarter for me at this point.

Lastly, this whole obsession with January 6th, which essentially amounted to a riot but is being played off as an armed rebellion with bloodshed and death, gives me the creeps. When it occurred, I figured ok, arrest all those guys for trespassing, breaking windows, etc., but to treat it as if a bunch of basement dwelling men who were unarmed were actually attempting and had a legitimate shot at overthrowing the US government, the US military, etc is just absurd to me. Biden has openly said on camera that an AR-15 is worthless for fighting against a tyrannical government because they have tanks, helicopters, etc, but yet he is claiming that a bunch of unarmed Q-anon-esque crazies almost overthrew the entire US government and military. It just doesn’t make sense, and is clearly an attempt to keep trump from running. It sets a bad precedent — the voters can decide who they want, and we don’t need the “adults in the room” making that decision for us.

Hopefully we can get back to sane politics so I don’t have to vote for trump, but I can’t sit by and vote according to how you all want me to vote just due to my skin color.

*cue the insults and accusations of me being a MAGA republican despite the fact that I am a 45 year old black accountant from Bowie MD who voted for Gore, Obama, and Biden.[/quote]

I'm having a hard time believing this post. Most black people have never said defund the police, nor has the White House, yet you claim this is Biden's stance? Yes, the border is a major problem, but guess what - it has been a problem under every single administration and Congress does not have the political will to fix it.

I could actually understand if you are a republican, but your examples are bullsh*t. Jan 6 was about our democracy. It was about our institutions. You should be worried no matter which party you support.[/quote]
