WASHINGTON Perry Green doesnt believe that Joe Biden is listening to what young, Black Americans want right now.
Across the country, young people are protesting systemic racism and calling on political leaders to reallocate funding from local police to other community resources. Green, who is Black, criticized Biden for not supporting the Defund the Police movement that many activists support.

You got Black youth across the country, calling for defunding the police and thinking differently about law enforcement, and ... a couple days later, in the midst of all the protests (Bidens) campaign says 'Let's spend more money on community policing,'" Green told USA TODAY.

Green, 34, lives in Alameda, California, and said he's still undecided on whether he will vote for Biden after supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary.
uh oh!

I don't understand not voting at all in this instance. No Biden isn't talking about defunding the police, but it's clear if something like that is what you want out of a president then Trump is the polar opposite. It's the only douche vs a turd sandwich thing, you vote for the person who checks more of your boxes than the other. Regardless of if you like the candidate, wouldn't you want some of what you want over none of what you want?

Joe biden has experience... but dude is just not there mentally and unfit for the job. Most young people wanted Sanders. He actually inspired change. Biden is just maintaining status quo. How Sanders lost was ridiculous. DNC really rigged it when they made the candidates drop out and endorse biden so suddenly

Oh please. The DNC could have nominated George W. Bush and people would be wagging their fingers at people for hesitating at voting for someone better than Trump. Not that Biden himself is unfamiliar with warmongering and conservative social beliefs.

68% for a Democrat vs Trump is very low. Shows how pitiful both candidates are

Blacks usually vote 90% for the Democrat incumbent

joe biden has a speech impediment, so that means he's got brain issues... and then convienently ignoring the yell talking that sanders does... or the fact he had a fucking heart attack on campaign...

at this point i'm absolutely sure that there's a good chunk of "young liberal voters" who are either fucking stupid and regurgitating all the talking points trump and fox drip feed them, or they're just not "young liberal voters" and only like posing on the internet for shits and giggles...

But Trump also has brain issues, and in a perfect world, Bernie would have also been ineligible because there should be an age limit on political office.

  • 91% of Black voters 65 and up said they plan to vote for Biden.
  • 68% of Black voters from ages 18 to 29 said they planned to vote for Biden more than 20 percentage points fewer than Black voters 65 and up
  • In the 2016 election, Democrat Hillary Clinton drew 85% of young Black voter support, and won 93% of Black seniors.


This is pitiful and it shows how the Democrats have lost the loyalty of the new generation of Black Americans. They took their votes for granted and put themselves in damning situation. Biden is polling at nearly 20% lower support than Hillary did in 2016 and Blacks didn't come out as much to vote for Hillary in 2016 as they did for Obama in 2008 and 2012

I keep seeing people say that Biden's platform is actually relatively progressive and that he's going to work with the progressive wing, but I've heard that "hope and change" stuff before and look what happened. He also said he's going to work with Republicans too. And let's not forget that a bigwig at Comcast threw him a nice benefit party. He's also still against legalizing marijuana.

Yeah he's obviously better than Trump, but that doesn't mean we can't point out Biden's flaws and BS as well.

I don't know any one who is enthusiastic about Biden.

Dude could run ads saying "Well.. I'm not Trump and I'm the only other person with a major party behind me" and that would be all he needs for his campaign.

A missile taking out the debates would be one of the best things to happen to this country.

A lot of people keep saying this, but they aren't actually angry about it. The GOP is going to be nominating Trump-like people for the foreseeable future. The DNC will nominate someone with a pulse and everyone will continue to go "Ehh they're better than that guy. No one is happy about it, but what can we do?"

There's nothing but apathy and negativity in American politics. This is what a winner-take-all two-party system without a democratic vote does to people. All we care about is cutting our losses and choosing the lesser evil. The focus is on what we don't want rather than what we do want. Where's the excitement and enthusiasm?

How so?

The democratic and republican parties are corrupt. The fact that corporations try to silence anyone who support other parties does't help. And the DNC plotted against Bernie Sanders twice and won. Now I'm not saying Bernie Sander is perfect, far from it. But I can tell you know that the current candidates are awful. With Biden its the case of lesser evils. Neither are fit to run president and just say shit to get votes but don't mean it, while supporting the rich all the way.

It's the truth though. No amount of yelling "blue no matter who" will make Biden desirable when his policies aren't what many people actually want.
