This is interesting. You never know what you’ll catch until you drop the line in the water, right? It could be a giant trout or an old boot, or in the case of this commentator today, a result which was the dead opposite of what he expected because he was preaching to the choir, or so he thought. The speaker is a Republican and Black, which is a fairly rare species of being to begin with and he admitted that contrary to his expectations, his listening audience did not want to see Kamala Harris atop the Democratic ticket in four months. Food for thought here.
This man may be surprised but I am not in the least. The reason is that Black people know who Donald Trump is. This entire commentary doesn’t speak to the issue of the vice president’s popularity, to my mind, so much as it speaks to the issue of who and what Trump is about. The Black community knows this.
Trump is not going to do well amongst Blacks in the fall. He can have his token Black spokespeople talk about life on the slave ships, as though they have any clue, and post signs that say Niggas 4 Trump and he can appear on stage with other convicted felons, who also happen to be Black and play Mr. Cool. I would expect him to continue to do just that.
But in the end, any rational Black man or woman is going to be voting for their own interests and that means voting against Trump. This election will be Trump v. Biden. All the histrionics you may be hearing nowadays are due to the fact that the mainstream media feels a powerful need to gin up clicks and engagement and fear is the best way to do that.
So fear it will be. Joe Biden is wise to come forward and face this head on as he has, but I would caution him not to play into it too much because this is a manufactured crisis, not a real one. The debate debacle was a minor stumbling block, not the Rock Of Gibraltor, which suddenly appeared in the road, and has now rendered the road impassable. That aspect of the debate is utterly media manufactured.
Again, I repeat: debate performances are predictive of precisely nothing.

Here is another positive speech about Joe Biden. We need to saturate not only ourselves but the airwaves with these kinds of common sense commentaries as opposed to cringing on the couch and biting our nails, “Oh my Gawd, Joe stumbled during a debate! Let’s load the gun and end it all!” But unfortunately, the hysteria is what you’re going to hear, because hysteria produces clicks and engagement.

It’s a cliche that Democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for a reason. You’re seeing that reason demonstrated this past week. Joe had a bad night and so an entire movement has grown up around that fact. Each day some new Democrat comes forward to say how he must resign. The cat herd mentality demonstrates itself.
When tomorrow dawns and yet another Democrat or two is on board the Trump train, just think of these videos and be calm. As usual, we have to fight not only the Republicans but the idiots in our own party. So be it.






















“As usual, we have to fight not only the Republicans but the idiots in our own party. So be it.”
Hell yeah, Ursula. The detractors were looking for that crack in the armor and think they found it and seized on it because they had nothing on him, not even his son, and as usual the Dems are colluding. I wish everyone, especially the President would just ignore them. Fire needs air to burn. He has the baton. Personally I had hoped that Biden would have the dignity to refuse to debate Trump. We all knew how bad that was going to be and many people did not dignify it by watching it.
When have the nazis, white supremacists, or the billionaire class fought or stood for fairness, truth, social justice, Jesus’s commandments, or ANYTHING BUT A LUST FOR POWER AND MONEY????????? FACT…NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND NEVER WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only sure way to lose is to GIVE UP! So phuck all you who advocate letting those assholes dictate the terms! FIGHT!!! VOTE!!! ARGUE WITH THE PHUCKING DEVIL IF YOU HAVE TO!!!
YES, WE KNOW! Most of us have kept the FAITH, & WE’LL CONTINUE to CARRY on! The Majority in OUR Democracy, want the GOOD GUY to win! Thank you Politizoom writers & commenters.
Misogyny. It’s not just for whites.
My husband has always told me all politics are local they grow from there. The point is I’m all in on President Biden and I have 1 vote. That’s who I’ll vote for
