Apparently some Democrats don't think black people can think for themselves

PC aside, what are the Democrats views on race?

Ever thought on reading their Party Platform? It's 91 pages long and it tells you what's their view of race issue and adjacent subjects like police reform, war on drugs, immigration refom, etc. They produce one every year. It takes about two hours to read through. The Republican Party, the Green and the Libertarian do the same thing. The Republican Party is about as long as that of the Democrats, but the two others tend to run a little shorter.

Well, we have been asking their candidate when he makes appearances, but he doesn't offer much in response. He is their nominee after all.

i don't know what's best for anybody...sometimes not even myself.

But since I'm jealous of my right to decide for myself, I assume that everybody else would prefer that, too. That extends even to those not "wise" enough to vote according to my lights.

You are right, no question mark. I suppose you were adding your own...vomit?
I really don't care about regurgitating your favorite Youtuber's talking points.

You believe that all of your beliefs and positions are 100% orginal and entirely originate within your supremely rational mind. That's fairly common, granted, even when it's laughably wrong, but I'm really not in the mood to indulge in such fantasies of self-delusion tonight.

And if you didn't want to read my opinions you could have just said so and I'd put you on my ignore list for good.

Yet you keep posting to this thread. I think you are entertained.

Was I complaining:)

If you are unsatisfied of the answers you get, you might want to look to his program which has the advantage of being more detailed and nuanced than what a short answer gotten from a Q&A can provide you. That is if you actually are interested in the answer and not trying to simply get a "gotcha" moment of course.

You would be far more entertaining if you didn't keep regurgitating these tedious, useless talking points as if you needed to catch up to the current Republican meta. If you actually wanted to be original then you could at least try and come up with your own stuff.

Of course, they already voted, so there would be no point in doing that anyway. They are only performing politics.

He wants to be the President of the United States. The problem is he deflects the questions and answers until after he is elected. What I find most concerning is that people will actually vote for him--grudgingly as it may be.

Actually, he has already answered those question in the Democratic Party Platform. It was published before the vote started. That he didn't answer the question in a specific interview for whatever reason doesn't mean the answer isn't available to the voters if they possess the ability to read and access to internet or a local library.

Campaining is indeed purely performative political performance. No candidate announce anything new or special that isn't already contained in their Party Platform.
