I would think that the reason for voting for a political party would be enlightening and not strip one of power personally.
Voting in itself is personal promotion.
Now the REASON for voting the way a person does is a different scenario all together.
I don’t want to belabor the point except to say there is little republicans can do to get the black vote. The dems have villanized us so long that I see no possibility in the near future of getting significant votes. The pitiful part is that in their personal lives blacks are closer to us than the Dems.
