TALLAHASSEE President Donald Trumps shoutout to the far-right hate group Proud Boys is energizing black voters to turn out against him in the must-win state of Florida.
His call to the white supremacist group Proud Boys to stand by, and telling his followers to go to the polls and watch them, that is straight up voter suppression, said incoming state Minority Leader Bobby DuBose, a Black Broward County Democrat.

OP
One of the best moments imo was when Biden called Trump exactly what he is to his face.

Racist.

It would be wonderful if the margin of Joe Biden's victory consisted entirely of people Trump and his followers hate.

should the hump care about black voters? Their votes won't be counted if he gets his way.

than ever to get out and vote these POS out of office / out of the WH.
We outnumber the idiots by only a minimum of thousands for every one of them. Millions of us vs. maybe 5,000 of them total.
Thugs, simple as that.

Mississippi and Louisiana and Tennessee and everywhere else in the country.

about DJT. Although why it would take this long is a good question.
