A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!

The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Content Rules:

Self posts preferred.
Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
No spam or self promotion.
Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.

Commentary Rules

Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
Stay on topic.
Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
Provide credible sources whenever possible.
Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).

Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

Maybe the answer is only letting black men vote next time.

Or we could give their votes more power. Something like... each of their votes counts for 5/3 votes. I think that would be a fair compromise.

They missed out a whole lot of votes I think getting one is only fair.

Blacks/Asians - Harris wins

Latino - Trump wins

Largest Minority hurt by Trump - Latinos

The sad thing is I find it hard to believe many would vote any different today.

It's like you can almost see why certain people want to stop them from voting altogether at any cost.

It’s because they’re black and they want to return to a 1950’s America right?
