She speaks for everyone who voted for her and everyone who supports her, which is more than a few people. She also wasn't the only person to call for defunding the police. And then of course there are all of the elected politicians who actually did defund their police departments.

All Democrats or Socialists. Every last one.

Actually some of us get a kick out of lily-white progressives, such as antifa in this case, as you yourself put it “Blacks will do this, blacks believe that, blacks will vote for this, blacks think blah blah blah, blacks won’t do yadda yadda yadda....etc., ".

It's even funnier that white progressive university students don't believe blacks have decent access to their local DMV to get an ID.

Remember that YouTube gem?

I had to google it:

Sharpton made the comments on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” during a discussion about policing and a recent spate of violence in the Big Apple.

“To take all policing off is something that I think a latte liberal may go for as they sit around the Hamptons discussing this as some academic problem,” Sharpton said......."

If you are so sure you will win big in 2022 and even bigger in 2024, why post thread after thread about it? Who are you trying to convince anyway?

If you're so sure Donald Trump won't return, why does your side post more about him than about the supposed current President? Give me a break. You're obsessed, he lives in your head rent-free. And why even bother commenting on this thread? Thou doth protest too much.


To answer your question, there are some doomers on the Right who need to be reminded that the Dems lost everything in the last election, except the Presidency. (Strange how that works...)



And they need to be reminded that most people don't agree with the illusion the media has created regarding approval for "progressive" woke policies.



It's also useful for silent Democrats, who are not woke and think they are in the minority, to realize they are far from alone.


So, of course, this thread has to do with a lot more than simply the next election cycle or two. It's a prescription for our culture and politics in general.



But for an NPC to make such a statement like you did, when Jim Acosta is on CNN still railing against Trump - 9 months after this "super fair" election for the most popular President of all time....well...you can cut the irony with a knife.

Because you REALLY care so much about black folks, huh? You don’t want anyone to patronize us, aye?

Lol, reading through this thread and checking out the mass condescension going on in here is just astonishing.
You, OF COURSE, are welcome to believe whatever your like. However, what one believes is not necessarily the truth -- and that definitely applies to your post.

Or that Sleepy Joe never said "Antifa don't exist."


They've made their electoral bed...
And they speak for all of us?

If they don't, you damn well better start speaking for yourselves.


After all, haven't we all learned that "silence is violence"?
