Well, there ya go... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/be...ats-taking-black-voters-for-granted-blm-party BET founder Robert Johnson says Dems taking black voters 'for granted,' calls for BLM to form party BET founder Robert Johnson says the Democratic Party has taken black voters in America for granted, and he urges the ascendant Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement to form a new third party to fight for their interests.......
I think this is a great idea. Probably the most effective way to get the attention of the white power brokers.
It's also a great way to split progressive voters and allow to conservative bloc to retain their power.
Black people have effectively picked the last two candidates the DNC has put forth. Hillary and Biden both got their win from gaining a insurmountable lead in the southern states on super tuesday. If black people didn't like those two candidates they could have pushed through someone else, I feel like there were candidates both times who would have represented their interests better but we got who we got. Splitting votes into another party is not a winning idea, especially when your demographic is only about 14% of the total population.
Yes, but now we would have (likely) three major parties instead of two (I don’t consider the Independent Party....which I belong to...to be a serious contender into the foreseeable future). If there was a concerted movement to start a “black” party, with credible leadership, I strongly believe they’d become a fairly major threat in a short period of time. If they Successfully appeal to other minorities to join them, the current white power structure is screwed. Plain and simple. But it’s going to take organization and a lot of hard work. I hope they get going.
I am not sure that is the way to go, but the political system here in the U.S. does need a major change. The tyranny of the two party system controlling America now is destroying it from within.
If democrats don't want to see a BLM political party I suggest they focus on the concerns and needs of black Americans.
But, really I think the Democratic party has taken for granted the black vote. They need to get some shit done for African Americans if Biden wins in November. The Dem lead house needs to too even if a republican senate vetoes their bills. They need to show they are serious and care.
It's more than that, Due to his current level of mental capacity, said VP had better be prepared to lead this country on Day-2. Strangely reminds me of Designated Survivor.
