You are saying that. I’m saying a percentage of Black Americans think exactly like this, just like any other population. The last part, “Blacks are so stupid they’d silt their own throats to spite their heads.” Those are not my words and is really slander against me. That is all you, you are the one assuming that all black people will vote Democratic all the time just because. I’ve been saying the whole time it’s nuanced. ---

And I disagree with your take on how I come across. I’ve always made it clear that I’m talking about percentages and was called out for it. I couldn’t, or more wouldn’t, provide cites at the time. Now that I have provided cites, with numbers from a trusted news site, as well as a well-known political pundit, the cites themselves are being attacked and all my posts are being boiled down to I said all black people are this or that or that I’m a weirdo. All while posters in my banned threads are scratching their heads saying, “I don’t understand what is going on now.” well of course they don’t this board shuts down any dissenting opnion. ---

> [@saje](#): > > I didn’t ask what the candidate is supposed to do, I asked what we are supposed to do with it or about it. I have no influence over Harris. There are soooo many things we can criticize in split pyjama’s posts: lack of cites, useless cites, strawman arguments, incoherent arguments, tautological arguments… But this insistence that he tell us what we need to do with the info is weird. I post stuff all the time here that I find interesting and want to share, not because people need to do something with it. Do whatever you want with the info. His posts are bad because they don’t have accurate or understandable information, not because he isn’t telling us what to do. ---

[MSNBC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN-e4oEN4SM&t=39s) poll from 08/05/24. Harris support is 81% among Black Americans, up from Bidens low of 73%. But still nearly 10% down from the numbers of Bidens win in 2020. I mean, not only did he bump it after eight months for no good reason, but literally the last post before his new one was the mod note banning him from the thread. Just incredibly stupid all around. ---

No, it isn’t. He keeps hammering that he’s just trying to explain, and we’re too blind to see, and that the Dems are in trouble because … OK, so … what’s all this in aid of? Does that mean I need to panic? Or just say Yes, you’re right, or what? Because this is a whole lot of unsubstantiated blather that in the end isn’t going to do anyone any good or any ill. He obviously cares very, very deeply that we aren’t seeing what he sees. Why? ---

Short answer: no Long answer: He doesn’t actually care if we see or understand but cares to be seen by others as being more insightful than the average bear. Seeking internet validation from a bunch of online strangers, i.e. no with more words ---

Might be trolling but I don’t see a lot of ‘concern’ Seems to be heavily invested in convincing others of his own correctness whether about the race, 9/11, or Bill Cosby’s innocence but also too incredibly inept to actually make much headway ---

> [@split\_p\_j](#): > > The election will not be decided by white undecided in the suburbs, both sides have a good idea of their numbers there. > > It’s going to be determined by the black vote in the swing states and Harris cannot win polling at 81% of the overall black vote. This makes no sense. The black vote represents 13% of the electorate of which depending on the polls (80-90)% are already in the Harris camp. So even if you can convince a whopping 20% of the non-Harris voters to switch you are only taking about some where between 0.25% and .5% of the electoarate. Meanwhile there is white represent 70% of the vote of which 50-60% support Trump. If you can pick off 2-3% of that group than you will get a full percentage point bump in the polls. Note I’m not saying that the black vote should be ignored, but to claim that it is more important to a Harris victory than the white vote, is absurd. ---
