This is a long thread, but a really important take on this election. This young woman has some really good insight into why Joe Biden is leading among black voters.

(7,873 posts)10. Generally, African American Democrats cannot afford to be political dilettantes, particularly now.
Accordingly, the candidacies of a qualified favorite daughter and a qualified favorite son were immediately, soundly, pragmatically and lovingly rejected in the name of a Democratic victory in November.
Its a good example for the rest of the party.
