Summary:
Democrats are becoming increasingly concerned about a possible drop in Black voter turnout for the 2024 presidential election, according to party insiders. The worries arise from a 10% decrease in Black voter turnout in the 2022 midterms compared to 2018, a more substantial decline than any other racial or ethnic group, as per a Washington Post analysis. The decline was particularly significant among younger and male Black voters in crucial states like Georgia, where Democrats aim to mobilize Black voter support for President Biden in 2024.
The Democratic party has acknowledged the need to bolster their outreach efforts to this demographic. W. Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project, highlighted the need for Democrats to refocus their attention on Black male voters, who have shown lower levels of engagement. In response, Biden’s team has pledged to communicate more effectively about the benefits that the Black community has reaped under Biden’s administration, according to Cedric L. Richmond, a senior advisor at the Democratic National Committee.
However, Black voter advocates have identified deep-seated issues affecting Black voter turnout. Many Black men reportedly feel detached from the political process and uninspired by both parties’ policies. Terrance Woodbury, CEO of HIT Strategies, a polling firm, suggests that the Democratic party’s focus on countering Trump and Republican extremism doesn’t motivate younger Black men as much as arguments focused on policy benefits. Concerns are growing within the party that if they fail to address these issues, disenchanted Black voters might either abstain or, potentially, be swayed by Republican messaging on certain key issues.
No one is entitled to your votes. We’re talking about pragmatism and reality, not entitlement. The reality is that in 2024, there are only two people who will have a chance of being president, one a Democrat and the other a Republican. That’s just reality. You may not like it, but that is how things work. By voting third party, you are either spoiling the election or throwing your vote away. There is no third option there.
No, that is your reality, because you’ve experienced a lifetime of gaslighting to convince you that there are only two options. If 70 million Democrats voted third party, that third party would be first past the post thereby creating a third option. But the truth of the matter is duopoly voters are not concerned primarily about keeping the other party out, They’re more concerned about being on the winning team. And they feel obligated by peer pressure for fear of being ostracized by your peers to fall in line and vote as the echo chamber tells you to
Based on your defence of neoliberals I can make broad assumptions based on other’s defence of the same policies and people. The echo chamber collective mind doesn’t allow for differing opinions
