I want to vote for the same party that the overwhelming majority of my tribe votes for. I’m not going against my own people. No chance.

Why would I vote for the same guy that YOU vote for? Hell, think about it. What sense would that make? I’m not a masochist, nor am I into self flagellation. Our interests can’t possibly be the same. Chickens wouldn’t vote for Colonel Sanders...and I’m the bird and you represent Col Sanders metaphorically.

All are welcome in my tribe because we doesn't care about the color of people's skin.

While your tribe seems to have an obsession with it, placing it above all in order of importance.

Funny how that works.

Poor people don’t create jobs. The more money (freebies) you give them, the quicker they spend it.
They might spend it on 50 cent on I tunes though.

50 Cent endorses Trump for President after seeing Biden's alleged tax plans

Well done, fifty.
Who cares, like any other "celebrity" endorser who care how they choose to vote. I guess he's worried about paying taxes seeing he's in the over $400k a year bracket...

Citation needed.

I spent three seconds on a search engine and came up with this list of 10 billionaires who started with nothing. Imagine what I could find if I spent more time on it. Imagine what YOU could find if you fact checked yourself before posting.

No, all are NOT welcome in your tribe. That’s a lie. And your tribe cares about skin color to the point of being driven to hate.

And no, we don’t place it in importance over all (whatever the hell that means), nor are we obsessed with it.

We’re simply obsessed with making sure that our interests don’t get confused with yours. We aren’t on the same team, and we want that to be a clear delineation.

It’s a news item. People are talking about it. Are people supposed to ignore national discussions because they agree with the subject of the discussion? That’s ridiculous.

The issue is that the left seems to think that celebrity endorsements are meaningful. They generally aren’t. Just ask Hillary.

This has a bit more meaning than a typical endorsement because we’ve been told for five years that Trump is the most racist person EVER, and black celebrities with no history of supporting Republicans are getting behind him. That’s actually significant, as it signals a change in thinking among a particular demographic.

In this case, it’s a bit more complex than “muh celebrity endorsement.”

Biden will be too busy slobbering on his shirt and calling out gibberish that nobody understands.

Why do you say that? What information do you have which suggests that Kanye’s friendship with Trump hasn’t helped him any?
