They are as entitled as anyone else to be stingy or self destructive with their vote.
But I would LOVE to see a followup where Obama gives them a call.
Let them explain to HIM why they want to risk a second term of trump.
Because of Bidens vote for the crime bill and Kamala prosecutions. Oh, and they say there are many more like themselves.
Democracy dies for dumb reasons.
Damn media always gives airtime to the fringe.

(30,613 posts)Based on (rough) 92% African American support for Biden. My guess is, AA women are probably even higher than that number.

(50,482 posts)it is interesting the interviewer doesn't say how many they interviewed asking the same question so the public can gauge the bigger picture.

(692 posts)Shared the same concerns on FB! These cousins aren't suggesting that you vote for Trump but they are intimating that Biden and Harris are just as racist as Trump and therefore you should vote for no one...
This is the 2020 version of the Walk-Away movement...
Harris, as prosecutor, sent hundreds of Black men to prison and Biden voted for the 1994 Crime Act...
I will go back to my FB and post that Harris was doing her job and that every member of the Congressional Black Caucus supported the 1994 Crime Act!

(5,275 posts)The crime bill was awful and I do believe Joe has said he regretted it.
Kamala had a job to do and did it.
Then there is Chitolini. Racist Sexist, Cheater, Pervert. Wished the Maxwell Woman well...who pimped our underage girls to the likes of Doofus Don.
Biden and Harris are not perfect, nobody is. But they are decent folks while Trump is a serial liar, a tax cheat, an overall cheat who paid someone to do his SAT test for him. He has buddied up with ruthless dictators and alienated our long term allies.
Anyone who votes for this criminal Creep has critical thinking issues.

You're not big on tuna melts (maybe you find them dull, the same old, not gourmet enough or old fashined) but your other choice is a bowl of rat poison....But you feel torn?

(51,096 posts)1) Jansing should be dropped in quicksand. She always does these interviews with the lowest of the lowest people.
2) In the first segment I think two of the women were wearing a mask and one wasn't. Later on all three were not wearing their mask.
3) I'm guessing they were very young immature women that probably only cared about their hair and makeup. And they were just looking for a way to be on national tv.
4) It sounded like they were using Trump talking points and were not likely to be undecideds.
