Some Black men lose faith in Biden, Democrats in 2024
Bahta Mekonnen, a 28-year-old U.S. Army captain from the key voting state of Georgia, is among the millions of Black voters who helped deliver President Joe Biden the White House in 2020.
Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting this. It's a news report, not an opinion piece.
Sigh, why do people think things like this?
Democrats' failure to secure widespread student loan relief or legalize marijuana has been disappointing, Evans said, adding that Republicans' more aggressive approach when they have power means they are "actually getting things done."
Yes, they are getting bad, regressive, anti-progress, harmful things done. That isn’t what we want. Meanwhile, when Democrats are in power, Republicans think their job is to prevent Dems from accomplishing anything so they can point and say “see! They didn’t do anything!”.
31That's politics. Elected democrats don't have to play nice with Republicans, and yet...
6Yeah democrats use kid gloves while Republicans use boxing gloves.

Yeah, cause the DoJ totally isn't launching massive investigations into large police forces for unnecessary use of force, profiling, and racial issues. Memphis DEFINITELY didn't just get a massive investigation announced. Biden also totally DIDN'T resume PD investigations that were cattled by the other guy. He also DID NOT expand the Justice Dept. ability to address police misconduct. He has NOT spent a corner of his presidency trying to restore voting rights to those affected. He HAS NOT tried to ease the burden of student loans on those crushed under their size. Yeah, Biden hasn't done JACK SHIT for black folk.
Unless you have actually been paying attention, that is.
16Alabama right now had the Supreme Court tell them that African Americans deserved more representation in the congressional maps. The Republicans said No, we will still draw the maps so we win and the African Americans will not.
2the article has a lot of good points - a single Biden term is all the country can stand. can we get someone younger than age 50 as President? would be a nice change.
1I'd love to see younger candidates, for sure. That being said, I'll happily vote Biden again any day of the week given that the alternative is a Republican and likely Trump. Not an option in my world.
1I wish
Give us another Obama ffs, it can't be this hard, they pulled Obama up from nowhere and made him President. I don't know why the DNC keeps supporting people who basically have one foot in the grave and barely know where they are half the time

Not that surprising, the 1990's saw a large drop in black voter turnout also
There is a difference though between midterms and Presidential elections. Midterms are always brutal because no one ever shows up for them. It's a chore to get 50% of the people to get out for midterms, which really are equally as important as Presidential elections
0Check your stats. We never get 50% turnout, not even for presidential elections.
1Yes, we do
