So as for some of the most reliable Democrat votes, black women, do you feel they're stupid, or suckers?

Ask the Democrats and especially Doug Jones who personally owes black women for his seat, since they just rewarded their most reliable voter cohort by joining Republicans to vote to effectively re-legalize housing discrimination against them.

But I guess that's just what Democrats do when :sparkles:game theory:sparkles: tells them that a group has to vote for them or get lynched by the neoconfederate party.

Okay I think I see where this line of logic is coming from. People were saying dont blame the voters for not voting, and the trap was trying to get benghazi 2 to try blaming a different group of voters by asking if they voted dem because they were stupid or gullible (a different kind of stupid). And then benghazi 2 didnt engage at all so the fallback point was a really milquetoast "Oh uh. Well everyone judges people" extending that statement to say that we're all judging black women for voting dem anyways

I guess this is what its like when people try to play chess in their heads

No, those aren't the only logical options.

there's really nothing more craven than trotting out the "but black women voted overwhelmingly democratically, are you saying all black women are stupid or suckers?" in a political discussion

most people are ignorant, but yes, the ones who know this poo poo and still vote for dems are stupid and suckers. literally nothing to do with racism and applies the same to republicans fyi

Democrats seem to think black women are suckers since the ink had barely dried on Doug Jones' winning ballots when he turned around and voted for redlining because the people who matter (donors) make bank off it

tbh I think the left winger who looks at the state of the american politcal landscape and thinks "I shall reform the democratic party by participating in its lovely rigged primaries" instead of "I shall harness the extant antigovernmental sentiment to push people towards some kind of libsoc/ancom party based on undermining the legitimacy of the current electoral system" is the dafter of the two.

Like I'd prefer state socialism but given that your current choice is between two brands of demolishing the government I think honestly achieving an anarchist revolution or destabilizing the current governmental system is more likely than beating the dem establishment by playing by their rules.

Just so I dont leave you with a void of my actual opinions, this entire thread is flawed because it tries to explore the problem of voter disengagement from an ideological basis (voters should always vote! game theory! vs democrats are bad and its morally wrong etc etc) when the morality of voting has almost no practical use and only issues/voter engagement/demagoguery actually matter

If people were actually advocating revolutionary socialism I'd respect that.

the best strategic vote is to vote for a leftist third party. we have a better chance at affecting change by forcing the dems to move left to take 5-10% of the vote than you ever will by voting for the approved primary candidates the national committees keep shoving down your throats

best part is it only gets easier the further the dems move right
