Suppose I told you that the 50M immigrants in the US, almost all of whom are here legally, needed to continue to vote for Dems in record numbers for the next 80 years, while the Dems passed increasingly larger ICE budgets and ramped up ICE killings until ICE was killing 2 people a day in the streets.
Now suppose I told you that the immigrants said, "No! That deal sucks!"
And so I told the immigrants, "Too bad! You have to vote for me! The GOP is even worse! LOL!🤡"
And the immigrants said, "No dude, we really don't. We can vote for the subset of Dems that aren't even more pro-ICE than the GOP."
There are about 50M Black people in the US.
Cops kill 1 or 2 Black people a day. Some days it's up to 6 in a single day.
Some of the most violently racist criminal justice laws in world history have been written by "tough on crime" Dems like Biden.
Black people have waited for over 80 years.
1) Any "tough on crime" Dem that pushes anti-Black policies will become unelectable, unless they can win without Black voter support.
2) You cannot win Presidency as a Dem, or Senator or Governor in a "state that matters*" without Black voter support.
*Except California. Not enough Black voters.🤷🏿♂️
A lot of people are still trying to play 2026 politics using a 1986 playbook.
They think that they can still take Black voters for granted and it will work.
But it doesn't work.
People still haven't understood that if Black voters have delivered you victory, they can also take it away.
