Becerra can probably win California without the Black vote. There aren't that many Black people in California. 🇫🇷Paris has more Black citizens per capita than California. Seriously! Look it up.🤷🏿‍♂️ Talarico might still win Texas even after what Dems did to Crockett. Hispanic self-preservation vote.🤷🏿‍♂️ But Buttigieg can't win the presidency. Neither can Rahm Emmanuel. You can run as many polls or buy as much press as you want. Doesn't matter. It's not going to happen. All the fascists run to the GOP side of the see-saw. You need all the Black voters, specifically all the Black men, to counterbalance that. And we're not going to do that for these dudes.🤷🏿‍♂️

The best that Dem presidential candidates with anti-Black track records can do, is win the Dem primary... and then lose in the general. Then write silly and incorrect articles about how "Black men are moving towards Trump!🤡" Dems complete this whole arc without ever having had one real conversation with any of the Black men voters that noped out.🤦🏿‍♂️

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Every single one of these dudes that wants to run for President needs to pick a state and run for Governor there first. If you haven't shown you can win a statewide election, and preferably demonstrate some executive experience. Pete lives in Michigan now. There's a whole lot of races there he could be in but he isn't. We need way more decent state level officials than we need wannabe POTUS Superheroes.
