Re: the interview w/ @cthagod: Between @JoeBiden& #39;s bold comportment & shameful failure to deliver meaningful, Afrocentric solutions to the audience, it& #39;s clear that he prepared for this interview assuming it& #39;d be easy to win more black votes or assuming he didn& #39;t need to even try
@cthagod says "my family is blessed, black, and highly favored,"
@JoeBiden says, "but [your people] are getting killed though." Awkward small talk, bro Biden. Not even hiding his use of black suffering to effortlessly pander to the black voter block.
@cthagod says, Where you at Joe? You& #39;ve been MIA during this crisis, not very leader-like
@JoeBiden says, That& #39;s literally my strategy is to not be leader or propose innovative solutions to this crisis until I& #39;m elected. I& #39;m deliberately leaving all the leadership stuff to @Trump
@cthagod says, *nothing*
@JoeBiden talks about a carnies(...?) & spout platitudes & stats on institutional racism & what a problem it& #39;s been, while proposing no meaningful solutions, putting on a clinic for the whites on how to do empty virtue signaling.
@cthagod say, Do you feel like the Democratic Party owes black people anything?
@JoeBiden says, Black people already love me so much for doing a bare minimum, if it can even be called that, & are so down to vote for me that I don& #39;t even need to really answer that question, jack!!
@cthagod says, Why can& #39;t you admit that the 1994 Crime Bill had terrible consequences for Af Am in mass incarceration & war on drugs?
@JoeBiden says, I won& #39;t admit it. The bill had no negative effects. It was everyone else& #39;s fault but mine
@cthagod says, You said black woman VP so what& #39;s this about @amyklobuchar?
@JoeBiden says, "I& #39;m not acknowledging anybody who is being considered, but I guarantee you there are multiple black women being considered. Multiple."
@cthagod says, "We& #39;ve got more questions" for you to decide if you& #39;re really worth our vote--per proper informed democratic protocol.
@JoeBiden says, now infamously, "I tell ya what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you& #39;re for me or @Trump, then you ain& #39;t black."
It& #39;s painfully apparent in this interview that @JoeBiden& #39;s comfort level & cavalier approach toward engaging with @cthagod & black voters by proxy are rooted in a sense that he has the vote in the bag. This attitude will yield no meaningful progress for black voters as a whole.
What can you do about it? DO NOT vote for @JoeBiden in your state& #39;s primary. DO NOT commit or publicize your commitment of your vote unless he commits to meaningful Afrocentric legislation. Learn what that looks likes & advocate for it. This is allyship. The vote is quid pro quo.
