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.

I don't predict the Democrats will win the next election. They have a lot of work to becoming a stronger party.

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.

VP Harris went as far as America was willing 2 let her go and they shut the door.

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.

The next 4 years will be similar to POTUS OJ's 1st term from 2016-2020. Hopefully, there won't be another pandemic. However, POTUS OJ may have a few scores to settle during his grievance tour. He's not above pettiness. His narcissism will definitely scorch earth. Those who sought to accuse, indict and convict him of anything will need to avoid being hauled into court for one reason or another. Of course, the public officials who will definitely have to get new jobs. Not hard to do in private industry. White nationalism will be supported and celebrated. Wealthy folks will make more money. The status quo will remain unchanged for Black folks and the poor. Life won't get any better or too much worse.

I remember when as FLOTUS Michelle Obama, she tried to encourage children heathier eating and physical fitness. White folks lost their minds. How dare FLOTUS tell them their brats ate ate too much and were overweight. I believe Honey Boo Boo was still on TV too. Nevermind that the Obama family looked like models in family pictures. White folks didn't care. They just saw FLOTUS wagging her finger and telling them what to do. White men do not want women to be in charge of anything. They don't want women telling them what to do. Especially women of color. it's easy to see in management positions. There are plenty women in leadership positions. White men tolerate it. In the same way they deal with Black folks. White men are not ready to allow their wives to see themselves as POTUS. That's not how the Founding Fathers set up the program.

Popular vote doesn't win POTUS elections. It's all about the electoral college. POTUS OJ lost the popular vote in 3 election cycles. This is the 1st time POTUS OJ has actually won the popular vote. Well, if you don't believe America is a sexist, racist, patriarchal country, just like racism white supremacy, believing anything else will only lead to confusion. Every generation of AfroAmericans has understood what America is and many of us have faced those obstacles and hurdles and been successful in spite of it. The current generation of AfroAmericans will also figure out how to thrive and survive in America too. Anything is possible. POTUS Barack Obama is proof. If/when another charismatic Black man comes along with similar credentials, he could potentially move the crowd. She never really stood a chance of winning as long as America has its flaws.

Both. The Democrats strayed too far from the Left and propped up a weak candidate. The Democrats have always been spineless. However, in this case, they lost so badly there's nothing to contest.

I only heard a portion of VP Harris' speech but she did seem gracious in conceding defeat. She vowed there would be a peaceful transfer of power. VP Harris also plans to keep fighting for the campaign issues. Don't know in what capacity she plans to stay involved in politics when she leaves DC.

I believe both lost because they're women. America isn't ready. Sexist and racist. POTUS PJB still a white man in charge. White voters were fine with a female of color being VP. 2nd in command. Only takes over if POTUS becomes incapacitated or dies in office. The media tried to sell VP Harris. Clearly she was not gaining popularity to the extent they claimed in polls. VP Harris had 4 months to campaign. POTUS OJ had been in the media for 8 years.

POTUS OJ has been a constant presence in the media for 8 years. VP Kamala Harris showed up on the scene in relief of POTUS PJB in July 2024. No way she could make up enough ground in 4 months. The Democrats should have groomed a candidate 2 years ago to take over for POTUS PJB. POTUS PJB hamstrung the Democratic party during the mid-terms when he decided to run for re-election. The Democratic party played the wrong game and lost.

The Democrats have plenty time to retool and become stronger. We'll see if they groom former FLOTUS Michelle Obama or a dude to run for POTUS in 2028.

They will cater to white nationalism and enrich the wealthy. The Democrats may be done especially if they do not retool to become stronger and field better candidates

As I mentioned above, I'm absolutely sure there will be another POTUS election in 2028 and beyond. The cast of characters will definitely be different too.

Political commentator Van Jones who frequently shows up on CNN is way too emotional for a Black man. This dude will break down and start crying on TV whenever the Democrats are in trouble or take an L. He wept when POTUS PJB showed that he wasn't up to running for re-election. Last night, he got choked up as the reality of VP Harris losing the election became more clear. HIs excuses for getting stirred up were women's rights and transgender kids being hurt by the election outcome. Nevermind that Van Jones got $100 million from Jeff Bezos to do...something. I haven't seen anything constructive yet.

Folks interested in POTUS elections need to look no further than this map to see how the United States breaks down when it comes to red (conservative) and blue (liberal). The map shows us everything we need to know about America when it comes to is politics. The reality remains that our red and blue political parties are two sides of the same coin when it comes to maintaining the system.

https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2024-11-01/16-billion-will-be-spent-in-the-2024-election-wheres-it-all-going $16 billion was spent on elections this cycle. That's a lot of money. More than the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of several counties combined. A lot of people made money over the relatively short period of an election cyle. Hopefully, folks lurking around here got paid too.

Americans won't allow the country to become a dictatorship. Election returns were not as a close as 2020. No recount necessary. Worse for VP Harris than it was for Clinton in 2016. Instead of a red wave, they're calling this win a red tsunami. White men do not want a woman running the country. They convinced their wives to stay on code. Black men are not in the rural areas of states that she lost. IOW, Black folks showed up for VP Harris in the places that they dwell. VP Harris cannot blame Black men or anybody else for that azz whuppin'. Michelle Obama is a dark-skinned woman. White folks definitely wouldn't have voted for her. It would have been a landslide all right. Until America is in a different place, Democrats have to nominate a man. Considering POTUS OJ got reelected, It doesn't matter what kind of baggage he carries. The Democrats need to grow a spine and come up with a better plan for putting money in American pockets. We'll continue having national elections another every 4 years. Democracy is not in jeopardy.

From this election, Americans learned the campaign issues were smoke screens i.e. economy, immigration, reproductive rights, etc. The two main issues on the ballot were 1) if America was ready for a female POTUS znd 2) referendum on former POTUS Orange Julius. It appears American voters are still so far against having a woman POTUS that they are willing to re-elect a clown with more baggage than United Airlines. Interestingly, neither side of the media is willing to admit that America doesn't want a female POTUS. The talking heads are spinning it every other way. America has shown that it remains loyal to patriarchy and racism. During his victory speech, the picture showing the folks who lined up behind POTUS OJ reinforces the story too. The next 4 years will go by fast. If there is any consolation for the opposition, POTUS OJ cannot run again for several reasons.

Today, Americans exercise their civic duty in electing the leadership of the country up and down the ballot. Regardless of who one chooses to vote for and whether they do it early or by mail or in person, it is an exercise that comes around every 4 years for the national election. Every 2 years for other elections. Time flies. Seems like just yesterday we were doing the same thing on the national level.

Too many dudes are being *raised* mainly by women. They are taking on that emotional energy. The fake azz weed probably makes it worse.

Definitely a challenge. Only thing to do is *think* about is whether or not that crazy snatch box is worth poking...again.

Some of them are way too emotional over dumb sh8t. I was in a Wendy's fast food spot yesterday. A young dude may have stood in line for 3 minutes. They didn't take his order fast enough. The dude went ballistic. Cursing and threatening to spit on the floor to "make them clean it up". He stormed out of the place.. Still didn't have any food. Now, imagine this same overly emotional n8gglet not getting any play from a woman. That clown might beat up a female and diss her on social media too. There's too much estrogen in some of these dudes.

Slashing tires is a non-violent offense. The vehicle isn't considered injured. It takes a certain kind of crazy to waste money buying honey to smear on somebody's windshield. Still non-violent though. The vehicle isn't considered visually impaired as a result.
