 “Black men, I heard you like weed, and free money. Have I got a plan for you!”

 That shit is true, Malcolm X warned us and it's all I've ever seen from them throughout my 59 years. A bipartisan bogus drug war directed at us, mass incarceration, symbolic victories, lies, strippers and bullshit promises. The Democrats and Obama are done, I think folks get it now, the Duopoly is the enemy of working class Americans. 
 i bet your better self is more aware, more kind, more compassionate, more rational & more level headed.  but your desire to score internet points with the loudest is making you strange as you are blowing things out of proportion and being willfully ignorant of so many things.

it’s normal to speak to different constituencies.  

and it’s being done publicly, unlike the fiat world that you ostensibly claim to abhor as a bitcoiner.

it’s well and good to do fair things to alleviate the effects of the monstrous, predatory past.

the ideas she talks about would apply to anyone else if they’re in the same poorer communities as the black men she speaks of, obviously. 
 If she really cared about these issues and this part of her constituency, she wouldn’t have waited until the last minute to announce these policy goals. It’s blatant pandering, tone-deaf, and comes off as a desperate Hail Mary.

And this guy you’re calling “ignorant” lives in a deep blue state, supported Bernie Sanders in 2016, generally prefers socially liberal policies and economic fairness, and sees right through this for what it is. 
 bernie would’ve won if the dems supported him, but the democrats really fucked up by not supporting him.  americans were much less radicalized and were closer to their good-natured-ness back then.

you’re painting it as pandering…but it’s just campaigning.  

lots of stuff has to come out…one by one—not all at once in the beginning.  

harris’ whole candidacy is last minute.  better her than biden.

it is indeed absurd and willfully ignorant to suggest or imply that trump is the better candidate who cares about people at all.  

trump absolutely does not care about america or americans.

i’m not exaggerating it.  i think if you placed yourself in a more quite and sincere frame of mind you would see things more realistically and from a humanitarian point of view.

trump is a monstrous imbecile.

🙏🥲 
 You must think because I am disappointed by the joke that is the Democratic Party and think Harris is grasping at straws to save her campaign I am somehow a Trump supporter, when in reality I am disgusted that these are the only choices we have to vote for in this election. Point to where I’ve ever said what you are suggesting I did.
