Listening to VP Harris on Charlamagne, if the callers are any indication of the views of the African American community, [View all]

the pollsters and some pundits are full of it when they say that 10% less African Americans are supporting VP Harris then they did President Biden in 2020. Nonsense. There is no way15% or higher of the African Americans will support trump, and VP Harris will get at least as much support President Biden had in 2020, and I believe actually more.

VP Harris is doing terrific on the questions and answers. She is doing a lot of work with these callers correcting the misinformation that has been circulated.

One caller accusing her of playing "identity politics", and she responded absolutely not, and listing that before running for President how she worked to help fight against the discrimination against black Americans on issues such as being refused loans, or paying higher interest, etc.

If there is any undecided African Americans if they should or shouldn't vote, this Charlamagne town hall is going to help.

Listeners are asking some tough questions, and she's responding well. Silent Type Oct 15 #1

Absolutely. Comparing this to the crap trump was doing at the Chicago Economic Conference interview by Bloomberg is JohnSJ Oct 15 #3

"Identity politics" is pretty much what all the bigotry-baiting is all about unblock Oct 15 #2

and she wasn't baited by it either. She is so comfortable and competent, I really wish some of these undecided voters, JohnSJ Oct 15 #4

My view of those interviewed LiberalFighter Oct 15 #7

Maybe, but those questions were NOT softball questions, and they voiced real concerns. JohnSJ Oct 15 #8

It's also in the unfortunate framing of the discussion BaronChocula Oct 15 #25

So who is the person who called in about identity politics? duncang Oct 15 #5

It was a caller. The screener of the calls let it through. JohnSJ Oct 15 #6

Yeah, but I wouldn't doubt it was someone from his campaign. duncang Oct 15 #9

Regardless, in my view she was excellent. JohnSJ Oct 15 #10

Who has claimed Trump would get 95% of the Black vote? onenote Oct 15 #12

I think that was an oddly worded sentence whopis01 Oct 15 #15

Thanks, I screwed up, I meant 15% not 95%, and I don't believe that number either, but yes I do fell she will get JohnSJ Oct 15 #18

You are right, that was an error on my part. I meant 15%, and have self-corrected. JohnSJ Oct 15 #17

JohnSJ, You're saying almost EXACTLY what I said in response to another post about how black men will refuse to vote The_REAL_Ecumenist Oct 15 #30

Without a doubt, and it will be African Americans that will win the election for Democrats in those critical states. JohnSJ Oct 15 #31
