This. Year after year after year...>90% loyalty to one party. You know what that tells the two parties?
To the Democrats, it tells them that they can do anything they want to you and you'll vote for them anyway
To the Republicans, it tells them that they can do anything they want to you because you won't vote for them regardless.
See the similarity between the two? Neither party gives a crap about you because they know there's no swaying you. So you are ignored and they don't GAFF.
An indication of brainwashing no doubt. Hardly any independent thinking - Master slave relationship right there.
In all fairness She didn’t say vote for Republican either.
And good for her.
Nobody has said more often than I have that no group should embrace not voting and just dropping out of the entire thing more than black people. Their vote is taken entirely for granted, and every last word Malcolm X ever spoke on the evils of participating/voting in the rigged two party circus of American politics is as true now as it was then, and even more glaringly apparent.
The black vote is irrelevant to the Democrats and Republicans because both know they can ignore black people entirely and not change their vote totals. If black people simply stopped giving either party their vote, then BOTH parties would see this untapped pile of vote currency that they need to go earn. Right now, it is a trust fund for the Democrats, who treat it exactly like a spoiled trust fund kid treats their money...with apathy and disregard. Republicans stopped trying because the Democrats own that vote solid. Neither party has any real incentive to do right by black people, because black people give them no freaking incentive with 60 years of extreme super majority loyalty to one party.

With no particular bias to either side, I've been pointing this out for years now.
At this point, I may have found myself on one side again. The Left has gone absolutely insane, to the point where opposing them starts to take top priority.

Sounds like a chicken and egg problem for Republicans.
Republicans: We won't help black people because you won't vote for us
Black people: We won't vote for you because you won't help us.
Your suggestion that black people should vote for neither party won't work. Where is the urgency to get the black vote if they won't participate at all? The risk is if someone votes for the opposing party. So basically, you should be advocating all blacks to vote Republican. And yet you're not. I wonder why?
I am center left but to be honest the worst police departments are usually in Democrat controlled cities. Helping end racial problems isn't as simply as voting Democrat.
I actually think some of the police officers are compromised toward Antifa - in that they are being provocative towards black folk in order to stir up more division and protests.
