I get access to abortion rights, That's a big deal. For all women. But presently, it's states. It's not an issue in Maryland or California or Illinois or New York or DC. It's an issue in Mississippi and Alabama and the usual suspects.

I get redistricting. And making things more difficult for black voters. But courts recently have been pretty good about that.

I get the pure racism. Watching the Charlottesville video - the racism, the anti-semitism. There are bad white men out here. I understand that.

But what have Democrats done?

There are tons of very well educated and successful black professionals. But this unchecked illegal migration over the southern border - millions and millions over the past three years - is absolutely destroying the work possibilities for both black and white folks without a college degree.

I get George Floyd. But Derek Chauvin, the cop responsible for that, was sentenced and has been stabbed numerous times in prison.

In the meantime, cops don't do anything anymore. Nor do prosecutors. Nor do judges. And the victims of violent crime are overwhelmingly black.

How is that a win?

Most cities in America are run by black politicians. It's an old-timey patronage system. And consequently, it's incompetence everywhere.

I don't give a damn what some white progressive has to say.

But I am very interested to hear what black folks have to say. From my outside perspective - foreigner, suburban, higher degrees - don't get the black loyalty to Democrats.

Are they ever in for a huge disappointment!!

They would be but I don’t think Black people are, broadly speaking, gullible enough to vote for Republicans. It’s not that the Democrats are perfect, but two big things that I think of are how the GOP has an obsession with punishing Black people (George Floyd and the GOP love of police violence against Black people and that unfortunate Black woman in Ohio being prosecuted for having a miscarriage) and how they have an obsession with stopping Black people from voting.

The joke's on you. Black people are quite familiar with disappointments from liberals and conservatives (if you lived in an urban, urban environment you'd know this - and no, Bethesda does not count). We have little expectation that either party will do anything but pander during the campaign cycle and then leave us high and dry after they've been sworn in.

What are the cities with Republican mayors that are disappointing blacks?

People across the board are sick and tired of the out of the control crime like car jackings and shootings that have skyrocketed under Biden and are a result of local policies enacted by the Democrats. All too often that crime is occurring in black neighborhoods. That and the massive influx of illegal immigrants that have been pouring into the country courtesy of Biden and the Democrats is causing a significant erosion in the confidence of Dems to be able to govern. People want law and order and oour borders to be restored.

It is almost inevitable Trump is going to win. He is leading Biden by double digits now.

Blacks voting for trump would be like Jews voting for neo-Nazis!

What will Biden try to do to bribe black voters (and Hispanic voters) into voting for him? He is bleeding support with these groups. We see what he is doing to try to win the youth vote....... college debt redistribution (despite the SCOTUS ruling) and cancelling new natural gas exports.
So, what will he try to do for black voters and Hispanic voters in the coming months? You know his team are conniving to find something.....

Democrats can start bribing us by making our communities safe.
