What Will Black Male Voters Do In 2024?
Black male voters are in the hot seat. U.S. news media paint a narrative of a wave of Black men moving toward the Republican Party and supporting Donald Trump. Black men are heavily coveted voters and heavily scrutinized voters. And the truth is, the U.S.’ election system has placed them in this position - a position where some see the only way to exert their political power is to sit out the presidential election. In the 2020 presidential rematch, election turnout in key areas will determine the U.S.’ next leader.

Then you are potentially making it worse and disenfranchising yourself and your community. Every vote counts and I know this is gonna sound tired, but you have to choose a lesser evil, but it depends on who you see as being lesser of the two. I suggest you avoid the algorithms and the media and do your own research, look at your personal situation, look at your community and make a determination based on that and where you want to be in the next 5 years. But don't waste your vote by sitting this out. Exercise that right and privilege.

On the national level, you are voting for how our tax money will be distributed within, via the federal agencies, as well as policy on foreign trade, military alliances, immigration, and so forth.

You can vote for whoever you want, but there are consequences from not voting or choosing unwisely. If young people don't vote then you keep getting geezers for candidates. Joe may be old, but he did help black farmers, alleviate student loan debt, contribute billions to HBCUs and bolster small business administration programs for minority businesses and government contracts. Trump's project 2025 will end all of that and end the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Do you want to go back to Jim Crow 2.0 in housing, lending, jobs, healthcare, transportation (back of the bus), shopping (black could not try on clothes), restaurants etc?

You can't just make up random conclusions such as Trump supports project 2025 even though he has disavowed it. You also insult people's intelligence because we can literally just look up what policies the candidates are pushing. So why bring up policies that have nothing to do with the candidates?

Actually, every vote counts. This vote is going to be down to the margins. Trump's Project 2025 will end the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and usher in Jim Crow 2.0. Surely you don't want to go back to Jim Crow 2.0 or open discrimination in housing, lending, jobs, shopping, eating at restaurants, and staying at hotels. I know Biden is not that exciting, but he did give millions/billions to black farmers, hbcus, government contracts, sba programs and student loan forgiveness (until the SCOTUS stopped the student loan relief). Harris also passed the anti-lynching bill in 2023 after more than 100 years of legislators trying. It IS raining. Trump will end democracy as we know it and shift all power to him. The SCOTUS just made him a king with no immunity and invalidated the very reason this country was founded. Do you really want fascism from someone who admires Hittler like Trump?

The electoral college needs to be dismantled. Why should anyone bother to vote since 1) The winner is decided by only a few measly states, totally ignoring the results of the popular vote, 2) It seems the option this year is between someone who half the time doesn't even know where he is and someone without the required background to run this country FOR THE PEOPLE and 3) Since only the electoral college matters, should we vote independent or not at all? Seems to me the black votes in the south aren't even in the mix for representation, and I'm a white 71 year old female. If I can see the disparity, I can't even imagine how those closer to it must feel. How do we fix this?

Also, the Senate needs to be reformed or abolished and there needs to be reapportionment in the House of Representatives. The current system of representation is inherently racist because it heavily favors rural white conservatives. Reapportionment and reforming/abolishing the Senate would be more democratic and representative of the actual political leanings of the population. It is unjustifiable and antidemocratic that Wyoming (population 700k) has the same number of senators as California (population 40 million).
