I've literally never heard "black people are lazy and are going to stay home" trope before.

I'm getting to the point where I think I'M not going to vote because I don't want to be associated with a party where people are too stupid to go out and vote in an election that is LITERALLY a fight of good versus evil, because Biden hasn't given everyone a free pony. If my party is full of people that stupid, I probably should just stay home.

I've been looking at polls that are showing minority voters and young voters are not "enthusiastic" about voting for Biden. I gave you three links, that all say the same thing. If it's any comfort to you, maybe Democrats can win when the country becomes majority minority in 20 years, IF elections are still being held.

"Most analyses of America’s demographic revolution focus on the fact that people of color will comprise a majority of the country’s population in about 30 years—specifically, 2044 by the U.S. Bureau of the Census’ latest estimates. A question often underlying these analyses is: “How will this browning of America affect our country’s politics?” While the explosive growth of this group is a transformative element of modern American politics, another important and often overlooked question is: “What about white voters?” That is, how will the voting tendencies of whites affect election outcomes as our country moves toward becoming a majority-minority nation?

The majority of whites have voted Republican in every election over the past 50 years, but a meaningful minority of whites support the Democratic nominee every election. The latter fact raises yet another question: Just how many—or how few—Democratic white voters are there? The answer has implications not just for 2044 but also for the outcome of the 2016 election. The historic evidence suggests that Democratic whites comprised 34 percent to 48 percent of all white voters—and that 34 percent number is a floor."https://www.americanprogres...

If you're arguing that it's smart to stay home because you're not getting everything you want from Democrats, you've convinced me. I hope you like what the country turns into after 2024. I'll be watching from a distance, and thinking how smart everyone was to not vote because they weren't "enthusiastic."

I remember that, on a 7 up bottle. I think there was a 7 up cake too in that pan.
