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.

    Throwing away your vote and enabling a potential dictator is the opposite of being the change you want to see. It’s enabling the change you don’t want

    A key part of that philosophy is efficacy of action

      The only thing that enables Trump is people who vote for him and the media that give him free press 24/7 for everything he does. He’s not even the incumbent wouldn’t I be enbaling Biden with a third party vote? Or is it Im always enabling whoever you think is worse if I vote third party? Your logic doesn’t hold up. Either I’m enabling them both or neither. Because I’m not voting for either of them. All you have is the parroted arguemnts that can’t survive a simple logic test.

        At the end of the day, you are required to either eat a shit sandwich or a stale chocolate chip cookie. You can eat a peanut butter cookie that isn’t stale, but at the end of the day if you haven’t chosen between the only 2 actual choices, then someone else is going to decide for you, and there’s a very good chance that you’re going to end up with a mouth full of shit. “But I chose the peanut butter cookie!” Yeah, well why is your mouth full of shit?

          Tell me how it’s enabling Trump if Biden is the incumbent? How come a third party vote always enables whoever you think is scarier no matter whos in office or if there is no incumbent? Because its not based on logic it’s based on fear. You’ve yet to use anything that resembles logic and instead go to name calling because you have no arguement at this point.

            Idk why you think not voting helps the incumbent specifically, but that’s wrong
