    To bad they dont vote. They could have Texas lousiana and Mississippi purple or blue if they’d vote, but they don’t and don’t care too. Fuck kamala they said. No one even has to pander to them on either side. Because whats the point, they don’t vote anyways.

    They’re out there shooting their kids over a thing of diapers and they don’t care.

      “They”. Sorry, did I miss the part where the article mentioned the voting habits of the family? Because this sounds like some racist bullshit.

            Nah get fucked your own self with that bot ass comment. I understand voter suppression is a thing. Voting in every single election is still the absolute bare ass fucking minimum every single citizen can do. Literally the absolute least. If you don’t vote in every single election you’re tacitly supporting the people in power. Go fuck yourself, fuckin shitstains all over this garbage ass site working for MAGA trying to keep people from voting. Fuck you, go vote.

          I wasn’t making a statement one way or another. I was just curious as to how true or false that was.

          I’d say you’re in the realm of reasonable. 38% turnout is pretty pathetic. So is 55%.

          If we’re not pushing 85% or more, something is wrong.

            Do you know why we’re not pushing that percentage? People need to work. Sometimes two jobs, especially somewhere like Mississippi where the minimum wage is still $7.25. People can’t take a day off. Last time I voted in Mississippi, I was in line for 2 hours, and that was at like 11am because I was lucky to have a desk job that let me work from home and understood the importance of voting. Minimum wage jobs do not get that.

            So glad I live in Washington state now where everyone gets their ballot mailed to them 2 weeks in advance. For general elections, we’re about 70-80% turnout.

              I think preventing police from killing your children justifies missing two hours of work. Especially if it would cause a grand total of $14.50 gross income loss. Or fight to have elections on Sundays, like 80%+ of democracies do.

              But I’ve spent some time close to France, so it might be their influence.

                But if missing two hours of work causes you to lose your minimum wage job, then it’s not just a $14.50 loss.

            Thanks because I wanted to say that kind of because it should be like 90-100% ideally, yanno? but I also feel like I might have sounded really racist and don’t want to like seem like I’m just changing goal posts or trying to continue being just a jerk.

              That and imagine the political power they suddenly have if they do start to turn out at 85% while whites are still sitting at 55%.

              Georgia is 33% black, 57% white.

              Georgia’s population is 11.3 million, 77.8% 18 and older is 8.79m.

              At the rates in that chart that would be 1.07m black voters, 2.5m white.

              85% black turnout would put them at 2.47m votes.

            Nah. Listen, some one else shared the stats they’re at like 38 %. It should be 88-98%. Every black woman I was close enough in the military to ask said they didn’t vote, I’m not just being a jerk.

            But while it’s true they aren’t voting much- I was wrong- black people are voting a bit more than other demographics and deserve less social shame than other demographics. but they still deserve some shame.

                Played on computers, didn’t kill anyone, and I’m a woman and was sexually discriminated out by hegseths army of misogynists… so, no and I’m not there anymore.

                You know I’m a real person right? I just dont get why there’s a reason to treat someone like this.

                  Ha, good job.

                  You being a part of the military industrial complex means you (as you so eloquently put it):

                  still deserve some shame.

                  As for all the innocent fisherman, school kids and people your army (that you willingly signed up to join for a fucking paycheck) have killed, I’m sure they would all take being discriminated against instead of BEING FUCKING BOMBED. You know they were real people right?
