What if no one running is offering you anything to vote for?
I feel like you may not be looking hard enough or engaging. For example, I now take my cues from a certain organization that are advocates for their people. They are the TimeDone organization, advocates for prisoners and formerly incarcerated. They are vey successful in getting their bills passed in California. These bills and legislation are helping our people, so I vote for 💥who they endorse because who they endorse are supporting their desires. You can’t vote for anyone or any proposition in the ballot if you don’t engage up close. Voting does take research. I do not vote for any judges if I don’t know their record. This info is not easy to find so I don’t vote for them.
I'm not in LA so I don't know much about Karen Bass but I saw on Twitter that she is pro-immigration. So I couldn't vote for her because she would be working to erase Black people. She is caping for those racist Mexicans in LA and I don't think anyone on the Republican side would be much better. If they are not talking about direct benefits to Black Americans I can't get with them.
One of those vote no matter what folks.
This is Bass failing to answer the question about her plans to address institutional racism against Black people in Los Angeles. 59:15
How can she be Black first while not supporting Black people? #Makeitmakesense
I’ve had success in voting, point to your success in not voting and maybe I’ll consider joining you non-voting folks. Intelligence doesn’t come to everybody. I do what I want to do and I ask for no one’s permission.. so keep your shady bitch ass insults to your can’t have a post without insults self. Where’s the block button Jay Geeeeezus!
You should research her, when has she not supported black people?. please provide receipts. Here’s mine.
Just to play devil's advocate and hoping to get a response that addresses this if someone asks you or anyone who advocates that position.
Another aspect is 90% of Black Americans that vote also vote Democrat. So not only are we important to win an election we are also loyal and what do we get for that?
We're getting nothing and worse right now.
Our problem in this country will not be solved by voting. If that’s as far as Black people are willing to go then it’s time to go get your cardboard box and go sleep under the freeway.
Yeps.
Over the last few years or so I learned that other groups are less likely to vote like the Asians but somehow they have their own towns (ex: China town) in the country our ancestors built. You know how these immigrants have their own sections of businesses, even Italians, Greeks. Black immigrants even have their own businesses. We don’t have that like others. Our Black wall streets were burned to the ground over white hate and jealousy. I don’t see how voting will repair the damage from the past and present day, I don’t see how voting will get us what we most need: REPARATIONS. By the way, the Democratic Party who most of our people support so much DO NOT SUPPORT REPARATIONS. Lineage based reparations is their enemy mostly. The only thing you will see demoncrats like Sloppy Joe support H.R.40, a reparations study. All these other groups didn’t have a study. I wish Black Americans who are still asleep would wake up, remove the cobwebs from the eyes and see how these devils are playing us. By the way, the tone in their voice of their attitudes when asked about cash reparations is telling. We literally have proof of how we are ignored when bringing up our issues. Marcel Dixon was just disrespected by Senator Warnock in Georgia when asked about reparations, the bastard refused to speak on it. Yet he was listening to an in support of the whole white woman there speaking about returning to college. The mayos in attendance were clearly being racist as hell. This sell out named Raphael Warnock has the nerve to be a pastor of the same church MLK Jr. co-pastored at. He needs to know that MLK was coming for those checks and if he was raised from his rest, Martin would slap the living hell out of these sell outs. Done.
That part. Our people are delusional to believe that these devils care about us and want us to be successful. None of these things you shared helps up. KBJ and KH have dirt on them. The kind that shows they don’t give a damn about us. Both are married to Mr. Charlie and have a troubling past concerning Black people. KBJ said she is her ancestors dream. She is a fraud who doesn’t know what a woman is. KH isn’t even Black American and has a history of locking up Black people. Both are in the Greek life (Delta and AKA. The history speaks for itself. A retired Black man judge warned not to elect KBJ as a Supreme Court judge due to her record. Let that sink in.
All of those nothing burgers listed by
You are stuck on parties when none of them bastards care about Black Americans. That’s where you’re very wrong at. Voting is not saving us because the people who are in politics make promises and don’t keep them. Or they will make no promises to us and use their power to help others groups. You are a sick woman coming on here to defend a party of anti-black racists and sell outs. I believe you signed up only for that purpose. Learn better. By the way, the democrats are against reparations. Emmett Till has never received justice.
White supremacy is on both sides which you fail to understand. 🤦🏾♀️✌🏾
People vote in their own self interest. Whether to vote or not is personal. I'm not sure how it can't be?
I hear you but both sides play against each other when they don't want to do something. If the US Government DOES NOT want to do something, one side proposes it and the other side obstructs it to give Americans the illusion of having a voice. When one side has too much power and cannot use the other side as an obstructionist, they'll use obstructionist party members as the scapegoat. It was Lieberman at one time now it's Manchin and Sinema. What Democrats have shown is that when they don't have the majority it's the thing that stops them from acting in our interest. When they have the majority then it's a rogue party member. But none of that crap comes into play when it comes to Ukraine, bailing out Afghanis, Illegal Hispanics, or etc.
YOU DONT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE OR YOU would educate yourself and seek viable solutions. It’s not just voting.. Black people largely don’t understand the process. Joining the party means, attending meetings, caucuses and clubs, casting your vote on issues that impact the party agendas. If no black people are present at these events, conferences, committees and conventions, guess what! We don’t get heard. We’re just voting on a ballot chosen for us by the party members. I hope you understand.. it’s frustrating to me that many people such as yourself don’t know these things. The nerve of you to discuss matters with low information. Please educate yourself, your feelings don’t matter, nor mine. 💥Black people have to engage the entire process, but most won’t, 💥that’s why we are largely ignored. It’s embarrassing how black people act who haven’t even attended a party convention!💥 That is where things get done BEFORE the ballots. I hope you can get out of your feelings and educate to overstand. Tell a friend:: Join a party, attend the meetings, run for committee chairs , representatives at large, and by all means run for delegate and attend the National Convention.. I just put you up on game. You’re welcome. If you can’t do that then your anger and thoughts on the matter is going down a deep black hole. You’re wasting your air and your voting POWER. And stop spreading lies because you really don’t know anything, just what you heard.. that’s obvious. This platform is for Black Americans of all political parties last time I checked.
But Sis the question immediately after is what party convention did they attend?
newjerseymonitor.com 
www.pbs.org 
Like you said, it is time consuming and costly, most of the attendees are older white folks.. they’re the ones making all the decisions for the party agendas. It is what it is and it’s not going to change until we do.But Sis the question immediately after is what party convention did they attend?

Why is the bar so high for us to get anything? Now we have to be experts in civics to get anything? If we don’t take time off from our two jobs to get to city hall we are deserving of nothing. Meanwhile billions are flowing out to everyone but us? I think we need to be more civically engaged but the reason why we are not is because nothing material changed for us when we were.
The one thing I was told when I first joined this site was to not waste energy on people who are lost and of that old mindset and to focus on the young instead.
Understand that it's against my self interest to not vote for the Democrats.
It’s absolutely hilarious yet disappointing to see black people like yourself act as if the democrats have done anything for us. The same party who supported our ancestors being enslaved. The same party who gives tangibles to all these other groups. Let me guess. You voted for Obama both terms. What has he done for us? NOTHING. (He’s not even a Foundational Black American yet is married to a sell out FBA woman). They are still fooling Black people. You must have voted for Hilary Clinton in 2016. She called our people super predators in the 90’s. Before her was Biden who called us predators and said sending his children to an integrated school would be like sending them to a racial jungle. (Kamala Harris hypocritical ass was offended by Biden’s opposition of busing Black children to white schools). He talked down on Black people so bad as a senator. Yet your behind voted for him? And I don’t care about my own people? Stating I don’t care about Black people means I don’t care about myself, which is false. I care about myself and my people so much that I will not continue to give my votes away for nothing in return. You and the lost can continue to stay on the plantation like that will make our condition better. Enjoy your weed, butter biscuits, and fish fry. Your focus is to vote for nothing until you die. Argue with yourself ma’am.
Ok Kanye, keep being upset, you’re clearly not on my level so I’ll leave you on ignore, not worth any of my time.. lost cause column you go with the rest of the Low information folk. Intelligence doesn’t come to everyone. Stay ignored, my bills get passed and my people win…so there’s nothing you can tell me. Keep fighting for reparations, you’ll be broke even with Reparations because your mind is wasted. I put you on ignore 4ever. rude person. Wanna argue Geeezus! ignorance is a HELL of a drug I see
The same can be said of you. Jay gave you a reasonable response and you did not reply to it, rather you chose to argue with others.
Not you Jerri, that other psycho who posted all the black Republican memesSupposed to be simple sentences and I'm met with walls of text, thesis statements, articles, videos... wth??????????

Thank you for sharing your testimony. I doubt she will change her ways. She stated a lot of off code things to me and other Black people on this site. I’m wondering does she have wealth to be calling me broke. Most of us are in the same condition. All of us Black Americans will benefit from reparations. So I’m wondering what does she think about MLK Jr coming to get reparations before he was murdered by the system she loves. I am not even angry at this point. I’m extremely sick to my stomach and disappointed. By the way, becoming broke isn’t hard. You have Black athletes who made millions in the past who became broke. You have college educated Black women who are broke with student debt. The nerve of that plantation puppet. 🙄 Black Americans have no wealth and her only focus is to vote blue no matter who.
