news DNC aide: "Having SC vote first in 2024 was to protect Biden, not for black voters"

I'd say that older black Democrats should find this disrespectful and raise a fuss but they're the determinative reason that Andrew Cuomo is going to be the next mayor of New York City so that ship has sailed

I seem to remember someone calling this out too…

Obama is going to have to live down forcing this egotistical old man on us in 2020 and all the negative repercussions that followed

[Bloo]

It was so obvious and transparent back in 2020.

I would be fine with no Biden, Obama, or Clinton family member inserting themselves into politics in any way ever again.

Well, yes

Black people are 20% of NYC's population. Working-class Black senior citizens, an even smaller portion of the populace, do not have the power to single-handedly decide any election in the city or state of New York. I'd say that this constant "BLAME THE bLACKS" narrative is prejudiced, counterproductive to any working-class movement, and staler than the tea in that emoji...but if you need someone to tell you that in 2025 then that ship has probably sailed.

I've left out the younger black population for a reason as the stats bear out. That you'd chosen to ignore that is not my problem.

Let GA a real swing state with a large black population decide first then  👏🏼

I didn't ignore that at all. As I said:

Old Black people are a single-digit percentage of NYC's population. Even if they voted in perfect unison, they do not have the numbers to cause or stop Cuomo's election. It's an absurd claim that only serves to scapegoat a small (and overwhelmingly poor and marginalized) demographic for the Democratic Party's longstanding issues.

Shame on them. They do all this big talk about "protecting democracy" when it comes to Trump then turn around and rig and manipulate the system against people who want a candidate who actually cares about the working class. Hypocritical corporate pieces of ****
