  1. I don't believe the Republican party appeals to more people. Doubt we'll see GOP registration go up. They seemingly had the more popular candidate according to election results.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. According to the search engine, US Black population is 47.9 million which rounded is 48 million as you cited. I just rounded to the nearest ten.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. https://nypost.com/2024/11/08/us-news/liberal-women-vow-sex-strike-in-protest-over-trumps-win/ POTUS OJ returning to the White House may potentially affect relationships. Some women are threatening to withhold romance and s8x with men over the next 4 years in protesting election results. I cannot imagine who these women are planning to punish with that foolishness. Maybe this movement will fizzle out like the p8ssy hats.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Clearly POTUS Obama was the best candidate. He won twice. The Democrats need to find someone who can sell their message.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Swing voters are neither Republican nor Democrat. They make a huge difference in elections.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. My mistake. Black population is closer to 50 million. Otherwise, the overall points stand. The Black vote will be marginalized in the future.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. I'm not taking anything away from AI. I don't think it can do what Del does without being trained.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. That's right. You've never seen me write that POTUS Obama was a great leader or policy-maker.๐Ÿ˜‰ I'm merely stating that POTUS Obama was the *perfect* candidate for the Democrats back in 2008 as evidenced by him winning the election twice. POTUS Obama fulfilled the purpose of symbolism/tokenism to both Black folks and white supremacists. White folks can scratch off the list electing a Black POTUS. It's in the history books. One and done. Back to white patriarchy running America. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Marginalizing AfroAmericans by replacing with other groups has been underway for a few years now. The Hispanic population already outnumbers AfroAmericans before immigration. By 2045, the US population will be: 190,000,000 White 94,000,000 Hispanic 50,000,000 Black 30,000,000 Asians 15,000,000 Other White folks will make up the majority in terms of race and still run everything but they will be the minority-majority with all other races aggregated. As a result, the political parties will go after the Hispanic and other votes. That's the future targeted voting block. This will keep white folks them from having to depend on the Black vote. More importantly, it will keep them from having to do anything for Black folks in order to get their vote.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. @Troy, until brotha Del feeds information into an algorithm, AI cannot do anything with it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Gov. Walz just went back to his regular job as Minnesota governor after they lost the POTUS election. Elected Democrats have 2-3 months to do whatever they can until it's time to deal with POTUS OJ's administration.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Right. She'll do private speaking engagements and make money. She might keep her finger on the political pulse.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. https://apnews.com/article/tim-walz-presidential-election-2024-01f76023f34f2936770ba74ea544951e Gov. Tim Walz vows to keep up the Democratic fight. He's still using the same talking points "meaningful work, safe neighborhoods, good schools, affordable quality health care." The Democrats need to start talking more directly about how they're gong to put more money in pockets.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Sure. Technology is highly beneficial both directly and indirectly. POTUS OJ definitely benefitted from social media. He also did 900 rallies en route to getting back into the White House. Creative people are born that way. Technology allows then to express their creativity in different ways. A creative musician can compose a hit song using their instrument. They don't need a studio full of equipment. OTOH, there are people with a room full of the latest technology who cannot compose anything. dple. a regular pianophotographer can take beautiful pictures with a Technology can increase productivity. It doesn't make people creative. Just facilities it. In a capitalistic environment, those who exploit technology and sell it will reap the riches.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. The same way they found and groomed POTUS Obama back in 2004. By 2008, his charisma and oratory had America eating out of his hands. VP Harris doesn't have the aforementioned qualities as former POTUS Obama. As mentioned, VP Harris is a woman. White America isn't ready for a female POTUS. Right now, I believe California Governor Gavin Newsom will be the Democratic nominee in 2028. If Gov. Newsom isn't interested for one reason or another, current Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro might be courted. These dudes are currently on the Democrats candidate wire. Between now and 2.5 years from now, another shining star could show up in the party. Spoiler alert...it won't be Governor Tim Walz.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. The Black and Hispanic men who voted for POTUS OJ claim it was because they had more money in their pockets during his last term. I just hope they're nottreferring to those little funky azz stimulus checks that were being handed out during the pandemic.๐Ÿคฃ Seems like his misdeeds were perfectly acceptable to the majority of people and others. Like a crime scene with the yellow tape...nothing left to see here. Bag it up. 10-4.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž I'm glad you're still here to witness this f8ckery. Easier to digest when you can find humor in it.๐Ÿ˜ As a wee lad, myy parents used to tell me "everything ain't funny". My response was always...yes it is.๐Ÿคฃ Over a half-century later, I can still get a chuckle out of d8mn near anything.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. That's true. There will always be a few who want something different.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. I thought Q's secrets would go to the grave with him. Keep in mind what I wrote about the entertainment industry in other threads. Jaguar Wright isn't too far off the mark in spilling tea on the business. I do wonderwhat Jaguar Wright is getting out of airing Black folks' dirty laundry though.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Exactly. Unfortunately, the world will become increasingly comfortable with the homogenization of everything including ideas. Creativity and originality i.e. flavor will be replaced with the generic and disposable which of course has little or no value.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. I still believe whenever AI fully *matures* it won't make too much of difference in the lives of Gen-Xers and older folks. Most of us will be retired or expired.๐Ÿคฃ For example, how tech savvy do folks have to be in the generation of our current POTUS and POTUS elect. The most those old cats are doing with computer technology is sending emails and text messages. POTUS PJB is getting ready to bump back down to a flip phone as soon as he lands back in Delaware. He'll be propped up behind a desk with a fake red phone. He'll be yelling at spam callers.๐Ÿคฃ Otherwise, every iteration of AI will give younger folks an opportunity to make life easier for themselves. Better remains to be seen.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. America has been patriarchal evee since it broke away from the crown of England. The Founding Fathers of America didn't have any women sitting at the table. Nor did they consult them when it came to establishing this country. White women in America are perfectly fine with patriarchy too.. Surely, a few white women stood up for suffrage and other women's rights. For the most part, white women are silent. They follow the lead of white men. You will never see white women berating white men. Even in disagreement, there's a certain level of respect. When white women are reminded of POTUS OJ's sexual assaults, they'll shrug their shoulders and say, "boys will be boys". They will vote for whoever their husbands support. That's why Democrats resorted to putting stickers in women's bathrooms telling white women not to be afraid. In the voting booth, their husbands wouldn't know for whom they were voting. Despite the narratives about non-white men being violent, white women aren't afraid of that especially when the majority of them do not live in those environments. Look at the electoral map. That swath of red states are made up predominantly of white folks. They don't have to fear minorities. Like every other group of people, white folks mainly criminalize each other. Watch Dateline and First 48. White women think just like white men when it comes to non-white people. They're on code.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. I don't predict the Democrats will win the next election. They have a lot of work to becoming a stronger party.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Rashida Jones wrote a letter to The Source magazine when the late Tupac had negative things to say about her dad and their family. Tupac ended up dating Kidada Jones who is also Quincy's daughter. Pac met the family and apologized to all of them. Before his murder, Pac and Q were cool.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. VP Harris went as far as America was willing 2 let her go and they shut the door.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. The election is a wrap. POTUS OJ will be back in the White House in January. Yet, nobody is asking white women why so many of them still voted for POTUS OJ despite his offenses against their own gender. If that 46% of women who voted for POTUS OJ had ridden with VP Harris instead, she would have easliy won all swing states and flipped a couple of red states too. Never while berating Black men was it brought up that white women should have been voting against POTUS OJ considering his baggage.๐Ÿ˜Ž
