If we’re going by the letter of the law, isn’t SF a sanctuary city? But yeah….

Her job was not to keep prisoners past their sentences, and the courts agreed. The state was almost held in contempt. And we both know there are all types of non-violent crimes committed in the city that aren’t prosecuted.

I blame feminism lol

All of this because Donald Trump didn’t want to pay his trick tab. And I think there is a place in the Republican Party for gays. Look at Fox and Friends.

Another article that explains why some black voters are offended by Kamala Harris. Using the an unfortunate chapter in the history of black people to parlay benefits to everyone: [think before following links] https://www.forbes.com/sites/richardfowler/2023/10/26/vp-harris-launches-effort-to-expand-capital-for-black-businesses/

1. I don’t it’s fair for you to bring that point up, because if you do, we can talk about all the racism in the LGBT community, including what some LGBT leaders were doing to the back community. But that’s going well off topic. This is not a battle between the LGBT community and the Black community. 2. Many black voters have decided that we haven’t gotten anything in the last 60 years and it’s time we start getting something, just like every other group. 3. Again, just because the Civil Rights as passed in the 60s doesn’t mean we owe a debt of gratitude and perpetuity. It was the right thing to do in 200 years too late and required the U.S. give up nothing. as someone once said if you stick a knife in my back 9 inches, and pull it out 6 inches, that’s not progress. If you pull the knife out all the way I’ve still been sta**ed” My point is that It is also my right as an American citizen to demand something for my vote just like every other group.

Black women too.

1. Since the Civil Rights Bill, that was passed 60 years ago, the Democrats have done absolutely nothing for Black people. They’ve created a bunch of minority bills that they have allowed everyone to benefit from. 2. The LGBT community has had far more specifically targeted let’s passed for them in the past few decades, then Black people. That’s just a fact. 3. There wasn’t a bunch of benevolent white people who decided to get Black people their civil rights. That is a there was a lot of Black people in the streets and doing a lot of other acts that forced the government to give us the equality we were entitled to. 4. The Civil Rights Act was just that: civil rights. A lot of people were OK with it because it did not require (white) society to give up anything except some social real estate at the edges of society. Sure you can sit at the lunch counter, but asking for a loan so you could own your own lunch counter was out of the question. 5. Again, politics is the distribution of resources. Just because you did some for 60 years ago doesn’t mean we have to continue sacrificing our voice in perpetuity. 6. No one would tell a Jewish rabbi that because we fought in World War II decades ago that they aren’t allowed to ask for anything for their vote think of every everyone else when they vote. 7. Donald Trump was already in office. And we survived. We’re not afraid of project 2025. 8. This is a new breed of black voters. We are no longer gonna let legislation that was passed in the civil rights era to be used to finger wag to guilt us into voting for the Democrats in perpetuity. That was not a favor. It was a right that was entitled to us as citizens of this country.

Thank you for your reasoned response. I will try to break it down for you: As I’ve mentioned before, Most Black people would not have cared if Kamala Harris was black or not. For a lot of black constituents, the main focus was on her work as the district attorney of San Francisco and her policies towards Black people. However, Kamala Harris and her supporters made blackness issue by trying to credential herself as a black person. And when we look at Kamala Harris‘s life, she has no connection to black society out outside of her attending an HBCU and being in a sorority almost 40 years ago. In particular, she has no black men in her life. Therefore, she is not relatable to most black people. It’s not Enough to be exposed to us. And what Donald Trump said was not out of the norm from a lot of the conversations that are being had. That does not mean that people are Trumpers, but again if you’re gonna wear our uniform, we have to check your credentials.

Since we are going there, it is baffles me that a lot of these races that are too close to call, yet democratic party is basically willing to flip the bird to 10 to 15% of their electorate. The Democratic strategy for black voters is basically to pander to black women. They think there is some Medea character is every family who is basically going to boss all the men and young people to the polls. They have no agenda or incentives to vote. What Dems thought they were going to do is run to clock on us until they replaced us with their new “Frankenstein”coalition of voters and supplant the difference with “casual racist.” (The Hillary strategy) But new black voters caught on. The strategy of neutralizing black voters is doomed to fail because most non-black people split down the middle 50/50.

Well we just have a fundamental disagreement on voting. It is not my duty as a citizen to give power to a person or party who isn’t going to support the interests of my group. Any person who gives away their power for nothing is t really serious about power. Also, citizenship is not based on your “voting status.”

I’m “middle aged.” I have never bottomed, and don’t have a desire too. The closest I came was a guy I was dating who was verse. I knew he wanted it. After a few drinks, and hot tub time, I decided to finally bite the bullet. Fortunately the booze and hot tub made us so relaxed for the evening, we both fell asleep. I woke up, the mood passed, and I haven’t come close again since.

Well at least he didn’t storm the capital and try to overthrow the government. Speaking of minors, we ever find out what Trump was doing in those Epstein files?
-
Another democratic talking point. If your black man, and question Kamala, it’s patriarchy and you’re attacking black women 🤣
-
Is that what Joy Reid told you?
-
I always love your rational, level headed approach.
-
Did I say something wrong? Did people not know there was an Indian migration to Jamaica?
-
Jamaican doesn’t mean black. He could be Indo-Jamaican.

Well, we have a fundamental disagreement. Because if Trump is so bad and so evil, which I believe he is, then the burden should be on the opposing candidate to earn my vote. You’re not gonna get my vote by default fear or telling me you aren’t going to do nothing for me. That represents the status quo and that is not acceptable for me. As far as the Supreme Court goes, the Democrats put themselves and that position. Starting by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, not retiring when it was advantageous to her party. Next, by wasting their time, trying to get Donald Trump removed from the ballot because they didn’t want to run against him instead of turning out the heat on Clarence Thomas

1. Me, like most black people, are not voting for Trump. They may have a few people who the republicans or Fox News do some racial showcasing with, but it’s not a wave. The only exceptions would probably be protest votes or black citizens in NY or Chicago who are directly affected by the migrant wave. Trumps racial credentials are platinum plated and a non starter for most. 2. Black voters are not hung up on race for the most part. We been voting for democratic for years, race not a factor. However, if you’re use your blackness to entice black voters, then we need to check your authenticity. Someone famous once said politics is war without the bloodshed. So if you’re going to wear our uniform and our badge, then we need to check your paperwork. 3. Her engaging in stereotypical troupes about black people (Kwanza, collard greens, 2Pac, etc.) is off putting to newer black voters, especially when the timelines are off. We want policy proposals. 4. Black voters are allowed to have an agenda and vet their candidates as they see fit just like every other voter group. 5. Her being in sorority is inconsequential and no evidence of blackness. People have a bad habit of being black when the can get something, then saying kiss my behind after. See Vijay Chokal-Ingam, Rachael Dolezal. We are not political or social slaves. 6. Like it or not, Obama changed the mindset of many of the black electorate. Symbolism ain’t gonna fly anymore. 7, Black voters are not “uneducated” or “misinformed” if they don’t agree with Dems. 8. Pedistalising Black women or other gender warring tactics is a risk strategy. Ignoring black male voters, a la Stacy Abram’s, especially in a close race, is not advisable.
-
What does her being in a sorority have to anything? You’re assuming I didn’t know that?
-
That is totally apples and oranges. Because Pete Buttigieg has always said he was gay and never claimed to be anything else.
-
People like to know what party people represent because that usually gives them a good idea of their Ideology and what agenda they’re going to follow. I don’t think there’s any wrong with black voters asking her ethnicity because like the political parties, many of us have our ideology and agenda, and we need to see if hers aligns with ours.

I think it’s just the pigginess of it that turns people on
