Banks thinks he is being pragmatic by rooting for the bad guys.
Larry I am pragmatic, but I won't sell my soul.
But there is a reason for the old saying, "politics makes strange bedfellows".
And Larry I've listened to your perspective, and I understand it, and in many cases I agree with you and your goals.
However I found the environment hostile to its immediate fruition.
Biden is President because black and brown people put him through the primary and then took two seats in Georgia...
And all moderates do is tell the BASE of this fucking party to be quiet, white folks talking.
And then when shit goes south electorally the first thing you will say is well, the black turnout was low.
In this era you are either going to split or lose the white vote no matter what so why do you keep spitting on the folks who have been giving you 90 plus? instead of watching the GOP make it harder for them to vote why are you not protecting their rights and access?
Joe Biden promised to reach across the aisle and work in a bipartisan fashion and the Republicans tried to overturn the election and failing that tried to overthrow the government.
YMMV
The BASE stayed home in NJ and VA. Guess they thought those races didn't matter. Now, they'll be shitting themselves and blaming MoJoe Manchin or Miss Sinematic ain't gonna change the fact that the BASE took a vacation when they should have kept up the good work.
Those are indeed FACTS. Now, if you think the BASE is brown and black and white folks are either blue dog Dems or GOPers, as it seems you do, then the turnout being low among black and brown folks DOES matter, and it ain't bias or prejudicial to point that out.
You can't have it both ways, Larry. You can't say minorities won for the DEMS because they showed up at the polls, and then when they don't show say that it's not their fault.
There are other factors at work in all of these races/votes/elections, but if white folks are evil and non-whites are saviors, then the saviors can't be taking holidays.
Blah blah blah
You take our vote for granted while white folks split theirs and the other side is actively seeking to overturn this Madisonian democracy.
I don't take anything for granted, other than politicians will lie, taxes will have to be paid by someone, and we will all die.
I do know, however, that the American people are impatient, lazy, disinclined to support their opinions with facts, and obsessed with money.
In politics, as in most things in the USA, follow the money.
Always.
The Squad and Manchin and Sinema and Gottlieb and your friends in Georgia are getting their money from somewhere, or they'd be more responsible.
