And many might feel the exact opposite way but the article doesn’t acknowledge those people. Latest YouGov data has 20% of black voters having a favorable view of Trump and 31% have unfavorable view of Biden. Not a majority obviously but not like 1% either.

Then cite sources for what material changes have happened to wide swaths of the population under Biden vs. Trump. You’ve just provided no sources and been condescending.

What about Trump’s immigration policies is gone under Biden?

If he was so uniquely bad, why haven’t we seen more change under Biden?

Fair enough. I think the point is just that the writer of this article could’ve phrased it as “the last five years” but there’s just this trend with liberal bloggers to act like everything has suddenly changed with Biden when it’s hard to point to what has.

See, again, this is so reductive and I can’t stand that it becomes the standard reply. I haven’t seen a lot of things get materially better for black women since transition from Trump to Biden and it’s manifesting as many black people are dissatisfied with Biden, even many of his own voters.

They’ll never understand. Dems will always conveniently do what’s unpopular, then get the benefits of being able to fundraise as the opposition party under a Repub president. The Dems will make far more at DNC gigs from that fundraising than in elected office. This is what happens when you let corporations buy your

No one is saying Trump is good. But people on sites like this are unwilling to hear how bad Biden is for people no matter how many people (even black people) tell you. There’s a reason Biden’s black approval at this time is lower than Obama’s or Clinton’s. Yet places like this article don’t acknowledge that.

But even in your description you seem to underly how little materially changed. He may have dismissed Russian aggression, but it’s under Biden Russian military action was unable to be stopped. The immigration policies including the Muslim ban were horrific but many of them have continued under Biden. Cabinet

That is far from the only example. Biden also treated Anita Hill terribly, which Hill herself has called him out for, said Obama was the first “clean” black candidate, was the architect of the Crime Bill that devastated black communities, and said “you can not go to a 7/11 without a slight Indian accent, I’m not

You clearly haven’t seen much of Biden.

I wouldn’t say it was especially different for black people vs, everyone else. The biggest thing with Trump is a narcissist like him having the nuclear codes. As far as race goes, it was plain for a black person like me to see how widespread and virulent racism was long before Trump.

As a black person I can tell you the fear and anxiety hasn’t lessened considerably if at all under Biden. There was a white supremacist rally in my hometown last week. More black women in my family died of COVID months after Biden took office than when Trump was in office. You can find data that Biden’s approval

Yet if you mention this and similar quotes, more and more of the black community dying from COVID since Biden took office and Biden’s declining approval rating among black Americans (even in comparison to previous Dem presidents at this point in their presidencies) in the context of Biden struggling to get back some

The only thing I can think of is that more black women have died of COVID than did under Trump and black women are percentage wise more likely to get COVID than they were under Trump.

Yes, but this article states that as a change in black women specific to the Trump era. There have been many racist presidential administrations.

I’m black but this is overly reductive (as you could argue the article is). I’m no Trump fan and never voted for him but over a million black women in this country did vote for Trump. Given Trump got 27% of the LGBT vote, there were probably even some queer black women who voted Trump. We have to understand people

Are you saying Europe or the US’s politics spread? Because Brexit happened before Trump’s election.

Sorry to be negative, as I know that’s my personality, but now we get to enjoy the six months of hoping 82 year old Patrick Leahy can hold out before a final vote on Breyer’s replacement or else Mitch gets control back and can block it. Because this morbid stuff is what happens when our leaders stay on until

Do all the people commenting “the 2016 election was the one that mattered” realize everyone was saying the same about 2012 because any sane person would assume RBG would’ve retired? Do commenters realize if Trump was reelected in 2020 and Breyer died, again, people would say “2020 was the election that most mattered”
