This. We need to forget the silly idea of trying to punish either party (spoiler alert: you can't) and we need to VOTE IN the candidates who serve our interests, and VOTE OUT politicians who don't serve us.

The object is not to vote for the sake of voting it's always been to vote your/our interests.....especially at the local level when we're the majority. B1✊🏿💯✅️

I've said plenty of times on here that we shouldn't vote for nothing, and I stand on that. But what that means is that we should vote for what we want. We're the only group who is being told to not use our votes at all, and we're the only group who gets nothing.
Like you said, we need to vote our interests. Before we vote, we need to buy a candidate who we know will serve us. We need to put our resources behind them, get them to commit to serving our wants, and then vote them into office. For example, look at Mayoral candidate Red Grant in DC. He has a Black-focused platform & he has promised tangibles to the Black residents of the city. Unfortunately, the people didn't show up for him last election cycle. The "don't vote at all gang" shot us all in the foot.
