Democrats worry their most loyal voters won’t turn out for Biden in 2024
Summary:
Democrats are becoming increasingly concerned about a possible drop in Black voter turnout for the 2024 presidential election, according to party insiders. The worries arise from a 10% decrease in Black voter turnout in the 2022 midterms compared to 2018, a more substantial decline than any other racial or ethnic group, as per a Washington Post analysis. The decline was particularly significant among younger and male Black voters in crucial states like Georgia, where Democrats aim to mobilize Black voter support for President Biden in 2024.
The Democratic party has acknowledged the need to bolster their outreach efforts to this demographic. W. Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project, highlighted the need for Democrats to refocus their attention on Black male voters, who have shown lower levels of engagement. In response, Biden's team has pledged to communicate more effectively about the benefits that the Black community has reaped under Biden's administration, according to Cedric L. Richmond, a senior advisor at the Democratic National Committee.
However, Black voter advocates have identified deep-seated issues affecting Black voter turnout. Many Black men reportedly feel detached from the political process and uninspired by both parties' policies. Terrance Woodbury, CEO of HIT Strategies, a polling firm, suggests that the Democratic party's focus on countering Trump and Republican extremism doesn't motivate younger Black men as much as arguments focused on policy benefits. Concerns are growing within the party that if they fail to address these issues, disenchanted Black voters might either abstain or, potentially, be swayed by Republican messaging on certain key issues.
Then you’re helping to elect Trump. Simple as that.
wrong. the only people who help elect trump are the people who vote for trump.
Wrong. It’s a statistical certainty.
wrong.
Wrong.

two of our 46 presidents have been from so-called third parties.
this "analysis" is garbage
The reason we're in this mess is because of political tribalism. If we actually want different candidates, we gotta vote for them.
Cool, do that in the next primary, but for now let's pick one of the real options on the table.
I'm doing it in these primaries. Why would I take a primary off?
Well, that's good. Unfortunately lots of people don't vote in the primary, and then complain about their options in the general election.
Not true.
But even if it were, then the system is fucked and it deserves to burn.
This is ridiculous. If you can’t have it exactly your way then just elect a litteral authoritarian dictator and cause the end of the country? Ok dude I guess you do you
You sound like you dont like democracy.
Democracy is your way or burn it down?
No. You don’t like democracy - you’re helping to elect a literal dictator!
No I'm voting for who Id like to vote for.
That's how democracy works.
Sorry you're not enjoying democracy.
We have a two party system. You have two realistic choices. You can vote for Mickey Mouse if you want - he won’t become president.
Sorry you don’t understand how it works.
lol, no you're still not getting it.
In democracy, citizens voice opinions, even if they differ. Disagreement is expected and accepted. However, your frustration suggests discomfort with this democratic aspect. If you need clarification, all hope may be lost.
i had 4 candidates on my last presidential ballot. i expect the same or more this time around.
