Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician and former intelligence officer who has served as President of Russia since 2012, previously holding the position from 1999 until 2008. He was also the Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012.
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician and attorney who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama was the first African-American president of the United States. He previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.
We owe future generations so much better than Trump
The Washington Post recently had two columns relating to Black voters. One column was ‘Harris is trying to reverse a steep decline in Black turnout in Wisconsin;’ and the second column was ‘Obama admonishes Black men for hesitancy in supporting Harris.’ In the column about Obama the former president talks about some Black men who are uncomfortable voting for a woman, and are coming up with excuses.
Both these columns could actually be about other groups Trump has insulted over the years, and many men. In the column about Wisconsin the first lines read, “Like many voters here, Kamar Carter has been inundated with political ads and campaign literature from Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
But Carter, 49, the owner of an herbal supplements store, can’t shake the feeling that his vote won’t really matter. Carter has voted for both Republicans and Democrats in the past but didn’t cast a ballot in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, part of a sharp plunge in Black turnout in the state since 2012, when President Barack Obama ran for reelection — the largest such drop anywhere in the country.” So, my question is what got an African-American man to vote for a Republican, and then in 2016, to not vote.
Does he not know how Trump treats and talks about minorities, the poor, and even the middle class? I assume Carter is not a rich man.
