Tune in to almost any NFL game since the George Floyd riots and you’ll see the friendly reminders in the back of each endzone.  One end has “END RACISM” in all caps.  The other reminds “IT TAKES ALL OF US.”

When you put them together you get “It takes all of us to end racism.”  Indeed.

This past weekend, one message was simplified to “VOTE.”

Last Monday the Harris/Walz team was doing their part.  They unveiled an “Opportunity Agenda” plan for Black men, which includes a proposal of forgivable loans of up to $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs.

But, wait, there’s more.  They also pledged to support federal marijuana legalization, a big step beyond the Biden administration’s current stance. Harris “will break down unjust legal barriers that hold Black men and other Americans back by legalizing marijuana nationally,” her campaign spokesperson articulated.

Pollsters in the field in early October found that roughly 15% of Black likely voters planned to vote for Trump in November. This is 6 percentage points higher than Biden’s final margin with Black voters in the 2020 race.

But, politics likely has nothing to do with this.  This is about righting a wrong or two.

Could you be more racist than offering a handout to a specific race and gender while excluding others?  Maybe.  Try specifically offering to make an illegal substance legal cause Black men are disproportionately using said substance.

BBR attempted to contact the Harris Campaign to see if they have any plans to better working conditions at convenience stores for Indian Americans.  At press time, we had not received a response.

Even Joe Biden, way back in 2008 was sounding the alarm bells.

“In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking,” Biden said.

It takes all of us.  No joke.

What’s a forgivable loan anyway?  Think 10k for an EV.  Think 5k for increased childcare credit.  Think 25k for first-time homebuyers.  Think student loans.  Think handout.  And, there’s no better time to promise yet another handout than two weeks before an election.

But, don’t think American debt.  It’s called forgivable for a reason. It sounds so nice. If you called it a handout or a government subsidy it doesn’t sound as appealing.  It reminds us of the transformation of “abortion” to “women’s healthcare.”

Remember, Donald Trump is a racist.

A vote for him is a vote to return to the Jim Crow days.

Wouldn’t you rather have a chicken in every pot?

Get money, get high, get in that booth, and vote for Kamala.

Touchdown!

A funny thing happened last night on the FOX News Channel.  After the Bret Baier interview with VP Kamala Harris aired the remainder of the nightly lineup took turns running excerpts of it and picking apart what Kamala said and didn’t say.

It’s as if they captured the villain queen and walked her about the town square showing the faithful that better days lie ahead.

The funny thing about the entire trial, conviction, and sentencing is that most people who watch FOX regularly and repeatedly greatly dislike Harris.  And most people who like Harris greatly dislike FOX.

Baier exposed many of Harris’ flaws, flip-flops, and falsehoods.  He insisted that her word salads only be served in small portions.  But did it move the needle 19 days out?

This brings us to the question, “Who is the worst US Presidential Candidate in our lifetime?”

George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, and John McCain come to mind.

If Madame VP loses will she join the list?  Maybe.  She had little time to prepare for this and her long suit isn’t preparation.  Her stance on most any issue is greatly determined by which way the wind is blowing.

If Donald J. Trump loses will he join the list?

For the record, William J. Bryan is the only three-time loser.  Who?  He lost in 1896, 1900, and 1904.  Trump would join a short list of other two-time losers.

But has anyone ever faced two weaker candidates than Biden and Harris?  Opinions vary, but they would be tough to beat, meaning they should be easy to defeat.

Ok, ok the media is biased, the DOJ is weaponized, and the ballot boxes are supposedly stuffed.

Trump has run a terrible campaign pure and simple.

First, women are mad.  And when women get angry they get even and then some.   His failure to clearly and loudly articulate his stance on abortion might be a fatal flaw.

Should he have picked Tulsi Gabbard as his VP nominee and women’s health czar?  A woman talking to headstrong women about women’s things usually goes better than any man on earth attempting the same.

Trump himself has had a few struggles with the female population along the way.

His deficit with white female voters offsets his lead or relatively good position in every other demographic.  Sure he’s losing with blacks and Hispanics, but his percentage of likely voters is enough for him to win when you combine it with old, white, angry men.

While that could be his biggest undoing, his inability to succinctly articulate why he’s the answer and her radical left positions aren’t is another.

Amazingly in this divided country, there are/were undecided voters.  Holding rallies and droning on about the past isn’t how you win them over.  He could have used a drone at one rally, but we digress.

Further, he habitually insults factions with name-calling and derogatory comments.

With Michigan very much in play, this week he called out car factory workers, “They just assemble parts “out of a box” and says children could do their jobs: “We could have our child do it.”

The UAW was unimpressed.

How childish.

Childish might describe his inability to let go of the 2020 election results.  Ego might describe it too.  That allows the “our democracy is at stake” nonsense to hit the airwaves.

But the biggest reason he might join the list of bad candidates is that he’s running against one who is worse.  The bar is low.

Even the Dems know that.
