      From the 2nd link posted above:

      “When I sit in focus groups with young Black voters and ask what [Democrats have] done to make their lives better, they’re hard pressed to come up with an answer, despite this administration delivering on much of the Black agenda,” Woodbury said. “That’s the communication challenge that we have a year to overcome.”

        Are Republicans any better, though? Granted, Trump did do more for black people since Jefferson /s

          Oh, they aren’t, but if the perception is “nobody does anything” then what’s the incentive to vote?

          You have to convince people: a) you did something for them or b) you will change things for the better.

          Biden can’t argue b, because he’s has his chance and nobody sees a.

            I have spent the past 3 years complaining about settling for Biden, but he’s actually done a ton for the country in his short time. The media reports none of it. I still think voting for a non-dictator is worth the sacrifice for a 3rd party voter, which was me in 2020. The GOP has made their threats clear.
