The plantation owner mentality is still strong in the Democrat Party.
They think they own the blacks and their vote.
Watch how they speak and deal with Cornell West and his independent run.
They will smear him and berate him for daring to give black voters another voting option and if they lose they will blame him for "splitting the vote".
An interesting take. I’ll look out for that.

One is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. Won the Pulitzer prize for journalism and has articles printed in the NY Times.
The other is a Murdoch owned, sensationalist, bullshit rag.

Looks like Trump might not be getting as much of the special treatment in Georgia that he's become accustomed to in his other court proceedings in New York, Washington and Florida
Three reasons why Trump's case in Georgia is different
When he turned himself in at Fulton County Jail, the process wasn't the same as his last three arrests.

He can’t pardon himself if he is POTUS again.
Not the overnight stay I wanted for him but the mugshots images should bring it home to some Americans that they love and support a career criminal.

It's too simplistic (and lazy) to explain Trump in pure Marxist terms.
You also have to factor in the number of American tired of the political establishment and the prominence of certain families who wanted to stir things up.
I know loads of American who despise Trump, but they hate Biden too. But as I've said to them you've got an issue where millions love Trump, but no-one appears to love Biden.
Americans are the most deeply Capitalistic people on earth, it defines them. Far more than this country will still has its class imbalance and old school money.
They will never embrace anything that even resembles Socialism.

Trump's appeal is simple: "He hates the same people I hate, hand me the ballot."
Despite theory to the contrary, most voters go into the voting booth not to choose magistrates, and representatives, nor to choose between competing policy agendas, or to decide between differing ideas of the role of government.
They're hunting up a stick to hit people with. In the case of Trump, you know you've chosen a stout stick, that it will get used, and on the right people.
Whom does Biden hate? Not whom does the torrent of internet media says he hates -- whom does he hate?
That's the problem. Voters might want to put the boot in, and in his case, they're not sure where it will go.
Crazies will tell you "Biden hates patriots! Real Americans! Hard-working people with jobs and families! Soldiers! Cops! White people! Christians! That's who he hates."
The ones who aren't recent head-trauma cases don't actually believe that. They produce it for two reasons -- it's the password that gets them in the club, that proves their bona fides.
The other reason, much less benign, is what claiming it then gives them and the people they vote for permission to do.

Enough do to pose a real problem. And they'll crawl over broken glass to vote for him again.
The people who don't want him, some of them feel the same way, but only some. They'll crawl over broken glass to vote against him. But they're not enough.
The election is in the hands of people who don't actually care much about politics, or who think Trump is low and dirty, but not dangerous.
Some are voters who vote out of duty, who can't not vote, but who are proud of how they've seen through the whole charade. thanks to superior wit and intellect. The people who want to drive the politicians out of politics. As a first step towards getting the politics out of politics. Because politics these days is just too political.
There's a bumper sticker here "Don't Vote -- It Just Encourages Them."

I find Trump completely boring now, no one believes there is a huge conspiracy against him except the braindead rednecks
There is no way America will vote him back in, his popularity is greatly exagerated, most moderate voters, find him highly toxic and would never win the election

I think this is correct.
His support is so incredibly obnoxious, vocal and loud (just like the **** himself) it get’s all the airtime.
But I’d guess there are many thousands, perhaps millions of republicans who won’t vote for him next time because of his behaviour when he was POTUS and since.

Might need a 'Trump Mk.2' thread if Vivek Ramaswamy gets the nomination. Though one suspects he isn't the ideal candidate for some white Republican voters. For some reason.
www.theguardian.com
After all eight candidates declined to raise their hands when asked if they believed human behavior was causing the climate crisis, Ramaswamy jumped in, stridently rapping out: “Unlock American energy, drill, frack, burn coal, embrace nuclear.”
In his closing statement, he rapped out hard-right talking points once again: “God is real. There are two genders. Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity. Reverse racism is racism. An open border is not a border. Parents determine the education of their children. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to man. Capitalism lifts us up from poverty.”
Combative Vivek Ramaswamy emerges as surprise focal point of GOP debate
Biotech entrepreneur takes on Trump mantle in former president’s absence, drawing heavy fire from other candidates
