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.
You are conflating liberal voters with the DNC, the DNC is perfectly ok with elections and voting as they are.
The DNC is fucked and run by idiots, no argument. But voting as though you’re NOT running a FPtP election when you are actually running a FPtP election is so stupid there are no words in the English language profane enough to describe it.
The system works one way. You play the game, or you get played by the game. Voting third party for president or Senate is not how the game is played, like it or not.
You want change? Vote in your local elections. That’s where change starts. Do it enough, and get enough other people to do the same, and THEN you can change things up-ticket.
Play the game. Don’t get played. Don’t waste your vote. The other option these days is literally a fascist.
