Just wanna throw this out there.....(UPDATE: Quit telling black people to vote Dem says.......Shaun King?!?!)

In the aftermath of the George Floyd tragedy, you're probably seeing a lot of pleas to be sure to vote in the 2020 election. Don't get me wrong, this isn't an outlandish suggestion by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I echo the sentiment. But when it's the obligatory elitist virtue-signaling crowd, you know what the demands to vote really mean. It means vote "progressive," and definitely vote President Trump out of office.

Here's the thing though. The areas where police brutality, undermining of minority rights, etc. is most pervasive are major urban areas. An urban area like the Twin Cities, which was the location of Mr. Floyd's death and has been represented by Democrats for literally multiple generations now. Also, a Dem has not lost a statewide election in Minnesota since 2006. And if the DFL has a net gain of just two seats in the MN Senate, they will literally control all the levers of power in state government (assuming the Dem majority maintains their already significant edge in the House).

My point?

Those who are making the loudest calls for change in policy in order to stop systemic oppression are advocating for electing the very same ilk responsible for bad policy in the first place. This is no more crystal clear than virtually every single DFL candidate putting "gun control" in their top three most important issues, specifically the "red flag" laws which have died in the past two Minnesota legislative sessions. But if the DFL, like in 2013 & 2014, has complete control in St. Paul, red flag laws are a fait accompli. And these laws will most certainly disproportionately affect black gun owners.

Why are "progressives" so hellbent on denying black people their civil liberties?
