The stakes are too high for the rats to let Larry Elder win. Therefore vote fraud will keep Newsome in.

How to fix our education system.

Take all the tax dollars used for education and give vouchers to the parents to spend on the school of their choice. This would also eliminate the very top heavy administration of the school systems and make more money available for the students.

Problem solved.

Even if blacks are leaning more conservative in the past, that won’t help us recall Newsom because blacks are less than 5% of the population here. We need the Hispanic vote.

Over 90% of Black Americans who vote, vote Democratic and results have been catastrophic...that’s a voting block begging for an alternative....

Yes, Just look at Kimberly Klacik who ran one of the best campaigns in Baltimore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UmpsWnJYxQ

When presented with an alternative, Blacks came out in droves to support her.....

Oh wait......, Nope, she only got 25% of the total vote, the same as the last Republicans in 2018 & 2016 and lost big time

I was talking about voters, not the black people running as conservatives.

As for school choice, I’m absolutely against that. People pay more taxes and money for homes to avoid ghetto retards. There’s nothing wrong with the buildings, books, or teachers in city schools. It’s inner city black culture.
Apparently I’m genetically racist, so blacks can fix their own mess. If you extend your hand enough times, and every time results in a slap to the face, eventually you no lomger put your hand out.

The answer to that is more Whites, Hispanics and Asians.
Blacks are welcome to join if they want. Our platform is out there.

So you try once and QUIT ??

It’s about continuing to pound away, 1% at a time, her getting 25% in a district that the Democrat normally gets 90% is good...

But if she wants to succeed she can’t just show up and run in an election every few years....she needs to be active in the black churches and cultivate allies...

This is where we disagree....

I would be for school choice and vouchers for everyone not just black people, anyone should be free to attend any school they want....public, private, or charter....

Break the backs of the teacher unions and we would all be better off....the purpose of our taxes is to educate kids, not provide great pay and retirement for teachers...

I’m speaking as someone with both parents were school teachers, my mother for over 40 years thru integration in Florida, my father started as a teacher and became a principal thru integration in Florida....

One of the single biggest things we could do to help our country would be to break up the public education system IMO...

“Let me know when 20% of blacks vote R.”

Even with the 24/7 barrage of media lies, investigations and Impeachments, Pres. Trump did get 20% of Black Men to vote for him in 2020, so that’s something.

The Black vote for Republicans has increased from 4% to about 12% in about 13-years (Dems are scared because if the total Black vote increases to about 22% it’s bye bye Democrat party.

BTW, another reason for California voters to elect Larry Elder is if 90-year old Senator Feinstein cannot complete her term, Larry can appoint a Republican to her seat and swing the Senate NOW!

DiogenesLamp: "It has been a trick for over 150 years, and now it's beginning to fail because brilliant black conservatives are calling them out now."

Black conservatives support Republicans today, just as they did 150 years ago.

I think about 84% of Muslims voted for Bush in 2000.

I’m all for more homeschooling and more private schooling.
That said, people put their kids in private school, pay a ton in tuition and still pay school taxes, to keep their kids away from inner city kids.

I went to public school in Wilmington DE. It was tuined when the inner city school closed, and they dispersed blacks to the three public high schools. (Brandywine, Concord, and Mount Pleasant) It turns out it’s the kids, not the school or teachers that suck. I was assaulted by black males multiple times for being white, nothing else. Coward blacks in groups. Same shit in school for whites, just 28 years later now.

As you say, most parents don’t care about the schools, they send their kids there and hope for the best...

But it’s not 100% of the parents, if you could get 5-10% of the inner city kids enrolled in a private or charter school over time that would be fantastic....

It took 50-60 years to get inner cities in the shape they are in, it’s not going to turn around in my lifetime, but you have to start chipping away at the problem 1-2% at a time.....

Blacks, largely, will never give up their victim mentality.
It’s worse now than in previous decades.
I’m all for them self segregating.
The hard working, intelligent ones will come our direction.

Like I said, it has taken 50-60 years for Black Americans to get into this situation, it might take that long to reverse it...

But if you can get 1-2% over a period of years thru things like school choice, then you can slowly reverse the trend, it’s worth trying because what we have now is not working.

I’m not fatalistic like you seem to be that Black Americans will never change, the fact is a lot of blacks have changed, to have meaningful change you need 2-3 generations to see progress to make any real change happen....

That's not quite accurate. There were no conservative Republicans 150 years ago. They were all big government big city liberals 150 years ago.
