Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came out in support of President Joe Biden amid growing calls in the Democratic Party for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.
Honestly a huge part of it was the “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black!” yeah I know the yuppies got all offended but the reaction I saw among poor Black people was more like hell yeah, tell it like it is.
Biden has a Black VP. He was the VP to a Black man - someone who looks like a caricature of an old racist white man willingly put himself subservient to a Black man and actually seemed happy about it.
They don’t really know his policies, though they know about Obamacare, the infrastructure bill, and the IRA. They don’t care about Israel or Palestine. They don’t care about student loans. They know he speaks out against racism. They are a little uncomfortable with how he speaks favorably about “the gays” but they’ll let that slide.
They know whenever a Republican bastard does some Republican bastard shit, Biden is there fighting against it.
They know that when Kamala blasted him for opposing school bussing decades ago, he said he was wrong for it and apologized.
They see a man who fundamentally wants what’s best for them.
Do you know anyone excited about biden?
Yeah, I know several. But they’re poor, Black, and Southern, so you’d never associate with them.
Why are they excited about him?
