    Candace Owens is a useful idiot to white supremacists/the racist alt-right.. in much the same way the likes of Nina Turner have come to be for the racist alt-left..

    They exist not just as paid black mouthpieces and more importantly, as blackfaces/black cover for virulent racists.. they also provide the warped talking points masquerading as ā€˜concernā€™ for black America, ā€˜cultural insightsā€™, lingo that said racists can freely wield as they arrogantly dig in, while some pretend to ā€˜finesseā€™ their racism.. all courtesy of these ā€˜black mouthpiecesā€™ flashed selectively and fleetingly, as the ā€˜blackā€™ person they ā€˜respectā€™..

    This paid gig rewards the most mediocre and most hollow of performers..

    And the more notoriety and huge paydays these blackface hustlers get for their service to racists… and the worse the economy gets …the more spin-offs, copycats, recruits to this black mouthpiece, blackface as cover for racists, hustle..

      Yeah, I grew up with these people. The word back then was “prejudiced” as in “I’m not prejudiced BUT blah blah…”.

    Only the double Ivy League educated black FLOTUS was discussed in this way.. No other speaker at either convention..

    These are your ā€˜alliesā€™..

    Funny how all politicians and public figures use speechwriters, and no matter how hard they try, still end up giving mostly forgettable speeches..

    Yet, curiously, it is only the Princeton and Harvard educated historic black FLOTUS who bizarrely, endlessly gets the ā€˜bravo to her speechwriter!ā€™ response from the usual suspects.. including supposed ā€˜alliesā€™ and ā€˜reformedā€™ racists alike.. and those who now all supposedly make up the ā€˜resistanceā€™.. And those whoā€™ll even applaud a fleeting mention of a devastating pandemic thatā€™s raged on unaddressed for 6+ months, in a speech given by a Birther plagiarist..

    As if..

    Thereā€™s a reason why try as some of these now temporarily ā€˜alignedā€™ ā€˜resistanceā€™ folks may, they still arenā€™t fooling many of us..

    This needs to improve. It is worrisome to see FL, OH, and PA all red. Biden needs to win PA. No one should be too optimistic about AZ just yet.

      Yup..

      Hate to say it, but Iā€™ve a niggling feeling that itā€™s even redder than is being reflected..

      And all these raucous social media ā€˜influencersā€™ stuck in Twitter bubble/echo chambers are probably in for quite a rude awakening..

      I think what many are missing, is just how much folks arenā€™t actually saying.. even on Twitter.. many regulars have dipped out, while some folks are simply pretending to go along – some because theyā€™ve been beaten/guilted into momentary submission.. others, preemptively bandwagoning just so they arenā€™t pummeled..

      Thereā€™s far too much exaggerated, inorganic artifice and artificial hyping going on.. and many recognize it for what it is.. folks actually do know the difference..

      And itā€™s not working..

        I’ve got to tell you I am WORRIED.

        Of the big three swing states, FL, OH, and PA, it does seem that Ohio is lost this time around. Florida consistently has major election problems but worth pursuing. The Democrats have their best chance in PA and I would say it’s a must win right now. Biden is from there, for crying out loud. They have got to figure it out and win that state.

        Trump will lose the popular vote again more than likely. But for the electoral vote predictions to be this close is a big red flag. Why is this vile, vulgar, incompetent, dishonest criminal doing so well? Well, I think we know but given that turnout is the cure and turnout is negatively affected by the pandemic and the Trump created post office problems as well as other voter suppression tactics, we have much to be concerned about.

        I’m at my wit’s end.

      When the DailyMail.com reached out to Blanche Vitero this week to ask what she thought of Harris being named as Biden’s presidential running mate, she broke into laughter.

      Pressed on whether she would vote for them, Blanch, 84, added: ā€œI’m sorry, I don’t want to comment at all.ā€
