Topic	Kingmaker congressman Jim Clyburn endorses Andrew Cuomo for NYC mayor.
LightSnake 06/22/25 4:00:17 PM #99:	legendary_zell posted... Black "pragmatic" voters can be and often are wrong. White politicians can weaponize the language of realism, efficiency, experience, and being a known quantity and bamboozle people into accepting known garbage over less known non garbage. There is no rule that says the devil you know is better than the one you don't. It's possible to have a non-devil and thinking it's pragmatic to keep voting for devils and that non-devils don't exist is how you keep getting devils. It all amounts to entrenching conservatism in a lack of transformative change. I'm saying this all as a black person. It probably doesn't help Cuomo is spamming ads in Black neighborhoods --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:985527565] in Kingmaker ...
