A Simple Equation That No One Can Figure Out

 

Black Americans vote for Democrats in very high numbers. They have an unswerving loyalty to the Democratic party. If Kamala Harris literally spit in their face, they would still vote for her.

This isn’t the way to exercise political power, or any other kind of power. The way to exercise political power is “I’ll give you what you want but only if you give me what I want.”

If you announce in advance “I’ll give you what you want (my vote) no matter what.” you’ll spend your life begging for a few crumbs, which will not be forthcoming. No elected official cares what you want, or what you think, or what you say, because you’ve already given them what they want.

Chicago has probably not elected a Republican to any political office in my lifetime. But Chicago is just one example. There are other cities in America where Black residents live in terrible conditions, every elected official is a Democrat and it’s been that way for decades.

This is a pretty simple equation that somebody should have figured out by now.
