In my city, the county and a private non-profit put up millions of dollars to ensure a grocery store could operate on the city’s south side which is a food desert. It went bankrupt in 2 years. There’s this thing called a free market. I feel bad for them but this is reality. Not voting for Biden because he isn’t throwing billions of dollars to subsidize grocery stores so the other guy can put people in power who think slavery had its benefits is not just the dumbest fucking thing they can, but its incredibly dangerous for them. Good luck to them. They don’t know what the stakes are in November.
This is the same sort of rhetoric that centrists are using against the Palestinian/Muslim/Arab community in the Midwest, who are pretty ripshit angry at how Gaza is being handled, and are being turned off to voting for Biden because of it. Yes, I know that Trump would be far worse than Biden for them and their families abroad. But at the same time, you can’t just tell someone “vote for this man who is letting Israel bomb your grandparents and cousins because the other guy will do worse”. Best case, they’ll tell you to fuck off.
Disregarding and belittling the very real and concrete concerns of a demographic in swing states that will be highly critical to keeping Trump out in November is courting disaster.
You’d think that if the Democrats cared about democracy, they’d do some of the stuff young voters are asking for. They’re willing to let Trump win over doing popular stuff that everyone wants.

…wow look guys, another person who thinks black folks are ignorant of current events, using a paragraph to avoid directly saying it.
Please please please start thinking of black people as informed and intelligent as you consider yourself to be, this shit is getting tired.

Well, don’t you know that the black community is a monolith unlike the latino community, which is made up of many individuals
Found the neolib

Imagine coming on lemmy and yapping about free market capitalism like it’s fine.
