If you shit on the nation's first black President and by extension the majority of black voters that revere him those voters at the first chance they get will tell you to go fuck yourself via the ballot box.
Checkmate Sandernistas.

Voter Suppression is…
when you would be 42 years old, if you had stayed in the state of your birth before you’d be able to vote in this country and that’s AFTER you put on the uniform and put your life on the line for said country
when you attempt to register people to vote and wind up with a cross burning on your lawn
when you have a Bachelors and Masters degree, and are asked to inform the registrar – how many bubbles are in a bar of soap.
or how many jelly beans are in that jar.
or to recite the preamble to the U.S. Constitution..
and, even after you’ve done that, you are asked to recite the Declaration of Independence – verbatim.
Or, you have to take a test, on your state’s constitution, that lawyers, registered to practice law in your state – don’t know….
Or, being told that you can get a ‘ Free Voter ID’, but in order to get the ‘ Free ID’, you have to spent Hundreds of $$$$, and make numerous trips to various agencies to get the paperwork for the ‘ Free Voter ID’
ALL of the above is voter suppression.

What is NOT Voter Suppression?
You being too fucking lazy to know the ins and outs of VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINES.
You being too arrogant and believing that the laws, which have been in place – FOR YEARS – should be changed, because, well, of YOU.
They didn’t just come up with a closed primary in New York last week, last month, or last year.
And, if ‘offends’ you to register with a political party…that is YOUR RIGHT.
But, sit down, shut THE PHUCK up, and wait for you turn to vote in November.

If you don’t like that there is no Early Voting – get the legislature to change it.
If you don’t like that there is no ‘ No Reason’ Absentee – get the legislature to change it.
If you don’t like that it’s a ‘closed Primary’ – get the legislature to change it.
If you don’t like that there is no Election Day Registration – get the legislature to change it.
IF you have not spoken up before about these things…then go somewhere and STFU.

You want to know why you should vote?
THE SUPREME COURT.
There was a post yesterday, about the woman who follows the Supreme Court for Slate, and how, THIS was supposed to be the year where the SC was going to deliver a big FU to President Obama.
In case after case, they had greased the wheels so that the SC could just deliver a number of body blows to the President.
But, then, Fat Tony went up and died.
So, you don’t like Hillary.
Hell, I don’t like Hillary.
But, there are real cases.

The outcome will affect MILLIONS of your fellow Americans.
So, maybe they don’t affect you.
But, you don’t have enough concern for your fellow citizens that you should know better that it’s important that a DEMOCRAT fills that seat?
You don’t like Money in Politics?
CITIZENS UNITED
You don’t know why so many of us are talking about ‘Voter Suppression?’
THE GUTTING OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT.
Why is this hard for some people to get?
The Court is literally – IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES-hanging in the balance.
And, that’s not enough reason to get out and vote?
REALLY?
SERIOUSLY?

Some people will give whiteness a pass for any and everything. She has been taking the drug for 10 years and Serena Williams still crushed her

I really believe that Bernie Sanders doesn’t care about the black vote in that he wants the black vote, but if he doesn’t get it he’s okay with that. I think that Sanders mentally is stuck back in the 60’s when it comes to the way he views African Americans. I think that Sanders admired the young black fire brands of the 60’s, I think that it instilled in him the way that he thinks African Americans should act. But Bernie’s problem is that he got left behind, those young black fire brands of the 60’s are now doctors and lawyers and teachers that now believe that to make a social change you must work within the system and not look for ways to blow up the system. I bet if you could read Bernie’s mind it would say “why aren’t these blacks out there raising hell and trying to blow up the system.” But what Bernie doesn’t understand is that in fact we are out there blowing up the system, we’re just doing it by becoming the first African American Attorney General, the first Latino Supreme Court Justice. That is how we blow up the system. You blow up the system by displaying a picture of a little black boy touching the hair of the first African American President in the Oval Office. That one picture alone is more powerful than anything Bernie Sanders has said since he decided to run for President.

The idea that what black people want from a president, is welfare. As though we are not lawyers, doctors, activists, educators, scientists, astronauts, and leaders in our communities. No, what we want is welfare. There are not enough f**ks yous in the world to the Bernie campaign

He truly knows nothing about black voters. Helloooo…great migration?!

Of course Bernie Sanders wants to blow the system up, it is the same system by the way that has allowed him to sit on his ass up in Washington for thirty years and accomplish nothing of note. For all our lives black people have been told that in order to change the system you must do it from the inside, which is what President Obama has done. And now here comes Bernie Sanders preaching revolution, President Obama didn’t need a revolution to bring about Obamacare, he didn’t need a revolution to get Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions and give up its nuclear material. President Obama didn’t need a revolution to end DADT and to usher in marriage equality, nor did he need a revolution to change our disastrous policy against Cuba. I don’t recall any speech that President Obama has made that he has used the word “revolution.” So now you can throw the phrase “revolution” onto the same pile of trash that “make America great again” rests on.
