Gangsta.

A recent New York Times podcast episode featured several Black voices expressing their hesitation and "concern" over voting for President Biden’s re-election in 2024, with some claiming Biden is "too old" and others stating that the Democratic Party has not fulfilled its promises to Black Americans.
Some respondents noted why they believe that former President Trump and Republicans may attract an unprecedented portion of the African American vote next year, claiming that Black men like the party’s message of financial independence.
The Times' "The Run-Up" podcast involved its host, reporter Astead Herndon, going home for Thanksgiving and interviewing his various Black friends and family members gathered for the holiday about their current view of the Democratic Party and whether they would vote for Biden or Trump in 2024.
Herndon said he was inspired to conduct the holiday survey after seeing a recent New York Times/Siena College poll of battleground voters which revealed that "22 percent of Black voters said they would support Donald Trump over Joe Biden in a hypothetical rematch in 2024. That’s compared to the 8 percent Trump carried nationally in 2020."
He noted that several of his family’s Black dinner guests’ testimonies tracked with this data, as several of them revealed they’re reluctant to vote for the Democratic Party.
Herndon asked about why the Black vote seems to be slipping from Democrats even though they just lived through the "high point" of Obama administration.
One guest felt the opposite of nostalgia for former President Obama, saying, "I’ve been let down by Obama. Do you hear me?"
When asked why, he continued, "I feel as though he could have done more for us. I feel as though – specifically Chicagomans, that’s where he comes from. After seeing you know, Trump and all that he did, it’s like...

He’s not far enough to the left for them.
Hesitant my ass. Wait until the general election comes around. “Oh, you mean Joe is running against a Republican?! Joe it is!!”
He’s not too old ... just too Senile
THAT is the reason? SMDH! Not branDUHnomics? Not the fact gas is outrageous? Not that food is outrageous? Too old!
“He’s not far enough to the left for them.”
Right. And they don’t cite policy issues, just his age. Most will vote for him anyway.
Exactly. It wouldn’t matter if a smeared pile of cow manure was on the ballot as a Democrat. By an overwhelming margin that demographic would vote for it. Always. Period.
Yeah. I think they’d be more upset if he dumped Kammy
Black men like the party’s message of financial independence.
BTW, I think it most likely she and not Biden will be the candidate (for other reasons).
Gangsta.
Some black men can be reached. With few exceptions black women are the worst. Unreachable and irredeemable just a lost cause.
When push comes to shove, they will still vote for the Democrat regardless that he is too old, too corrupt, or too stupid. It’s in their DNA
so NOT that the FJB is a useless POS, but cause he’s too old??? please...
So why should they vote for the Republican Party? They get all the free stuff from the Democrats.
Black men got screwed over so they're willing to look the other way
So they are all still on the plantation.
With all that’s been going on, they’re merely “hesitant” to vote for Biden.
The Plantation of the Left really did a job on most all black voters.
If talk like this keeps up, I would expect the FBI to resurrect the KKK for the Demonrat party.
but he has a black vice president in the wings should his age become a problem /sarc
