No wonder why it all goes down the drain now, when the generation in power grew up with this

 

 

Yeah those Boomers, hell, even those over 45 that received many social program benefits make up a big majority of those being against 'freebies' or 'handouts.' These people are not only bootlickers but have did a disservice to their children.

 

We can see how powerful that TV box is in your house, particularly, how much it has impacted those over 45 and in lock step with corporate TV. Which often shames the poor without remembering the past.

 

Don't be fooled by centrists. Taking to the streets is what is needed for change. FDR provided the American People with many benefits, to be taken away by the lobbyists and corporate politicians. Both DEM and REP.

 

I blame MTV..????

Just when you thought it couldn't be more embarrassing to be an American.......somebody please make it stop.

This one left a very strong impression on me, so much that I remember the name and could search for the title.

I don't call it rap music, demeans the word music. Craap poetry would describe it better. 

Would he take more wacky voters from Trump or Black voters from Biden. They would have to be a few girders short of a bridge in either case.

 

I don't think technically he can stand really, nomination has already closed in quite a few states so I read. 

Ooooh, those good ol' ragtime days...

Good to start the day with a laugh, but hey, if an entrepreneur such as Trump did it, why not a rapper? but i can't my head around envisioning the Kardashians in the white house, that would be a tv reality show to end all shows...

It would cost a fortune for the bigger chairs needed.

 Kanye and Kim  have  over 40 million twitter followers!

I don't know how many are eligible to vote ! 

Their clawing of votes through write/ins  from the dem pool  .could be a potential concern for the radical left biden !

I would  like to see how serious he is about this going forward, as a Disruptor

Shhhh don't ruin the joke. Ye is a serious contender. Praise Jesus, brother. LOL at the posters calling Kanye stupid. He can get national attention anytime he wants, is richer than any of us will be, sells plain white T-shirts for $450.

 

It fits the psychology of a southern baptist, African American.

Why do you assume that social media followers would automatically vote for this clown? And if you don't know even know how many of these followers are eligible to vote, why assume their supposed votes are an issue? Are you positive that all them social media followers are solely potential Democrat voters?

 

And lastly, Biden is not "radical left", unless you're either trying to paint him as such, following the Trump campaign talking points, or are so deeply entrenched in the right, that anything from the center onward is seen as "radical left".

Kanye IS a clown.

Trump IS a liar (hate aside, there are such things as facts)

 

Both have a lot of followers, all the more so on social media.

 

As far as West goes, you dodged all the questions raised in my post. Why would they vote for West? Will they vote for West? How many votes are we talking about? How are they actually split with regard to support?

As for Trump, he didn't get a majority vote last time, and there's no strong case the upcoming election will be different. He won despite not having a majority. Just to make things clear.

 

Your original post tried to frame Biden as "radical left". That bit of nonsense aside, your current posts does acknowledge he distanced himself from from the BLM. Not expecting much coherence or consistency of some posters, but still.

 

As for the rest of your rant - you either failed to read my post or trying to deflect. That the more "far left" (or what passes for it in the USA) elements of the Democrat Party support Biden does not imply Biden is "far left" or even beholden to them. It simply means that's the candidate they can realistically support at this time. A compromise. Something anyone claiming to be an independent/swing voter ought to grasp.

Following your reasoning, David Duke supports Trump, therefore Trump is a KKK member.

Kanye West Speaks on Running for President, Says He No Longer Supports Trump

What a stupid thread.  First of all, it's too late for him to get on the ballot in many states. Second of all, he hasn't even registered with the FEC, or presented a campaign platform, or collected enough signatures to get on the ballot.  So at this point it is still just a publicity stunt.

Jeez, after seeing what presidential candidates and elected presidents the US has had in the past 35 years, the election looks more like a major entertainment show, than trying to select a competent person to lead a nation.
A Kardashian in the White House, what else could one wish for after having a pussy grabber as President and a nude model as first lady.

[steven100]

you have got to be kidding .......     stick to your day job Kayne ...  lol

 

[Hanuman2547]

It's just a ploy to steal some AA votes from Biden thus losing some close states and letting Trump win the state and electoral votes he needs.

Hey yo, a vote for me

Probably a better choice than trump probably make a better potus to lol

 

Of course, West being an avid Trump supporter, we might also consider the possibility that this is a typical Trump and Trump campaign orchestrated ploy aimed at trying to draw some/any black support away from Biden...

 

Considering that Trump's own support among black Americans is so low you'd need a microscope to find it...

 

If Trump's presidency hasn't already provided a wakeup call to all Americans and the world that the LAST thing the U.S. needs as president is a hair-brained, self-obsessed hack reality TV celebrity in the White House, then we're all done for for sure.

I just wanted to quote you to remind you that you have AOC as your profile picture...She recently obliterated who challenger. Or did you not acknowledge that?

 

 

 

Does that woman bother you that much? Seriously, what's up with the far-right's obsession with her? Seems like a young independent and aspiring woman. She did have some ambiguous voting with the covid dealings but overall, the has been quite vocal in calling out the wealthy and rich. You know regarding, the double standards among the poor and corporate upper class.

 

 

 

Support more socialist like policies including worker co-ops along with worker controlled production. Support Medicare For All. End Wars. End corporate freebies and provide for the lower classes.

 

 

 

BLM - FTP - Workers

 

????

 

 

"Seems like a young independent and aspiring woman."

...and there you have, what they think is wrong with her!

Idea from Trump campaign to take away votes from Biden.

It has taken a while, but US media are now reporting a connection between people connected to the Trump campaign and West's presidential bid.

Trump denies involvement, and I would be surprised if he personally would be involved, too much risk of him spouting off. But campaign involvement wouldn't surprise me at all.

Of course the GOP is involved.  They know the only chance they have of winning is to cheat. This is just one of many things they are doing.  I'm quite sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.
