Much has changed since Wanda Mosley helped galvanize thousands of Black voters across the battleground state of Georgia to help clinch the 2020 general election for U.S. President Joe Biden.
Excited to head to the polls then, some Black voters now feel disillusioned by a surge in the cost of living and racial justice priorities they feel Biden’s Democrats have yet to deliver on as promised, polls and interviews show.
“They want to understand that their issues are being heard, that their humanity is being acknowledged,” said Mosley, national director of Black Voters Matter, a nonprofit group that works to increase turnout and registration among Black voters.
Massive voter drives backed by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and other Black organizers delivered the state for Biden in 2020, and the Senate for Democrats.
But four years later, Biden’s strength among Black voters nationwide is less certain, as they question Democrats’ commitment to voting rights, tackling white supremacy and other issues dear to them. A Pew Research Center poll in January found Black Americans are divided over Biden’s performance in office - about 49% of Black adults disapproved of it, while 48% approved.
I mean god forbid they try to actually court leftists. Could you imagine, Democrats trying to pass liberal reforms?
Of course they want to try getting fascists on their side, they’ve decided it’s easier and more worthwile than trying to meaningfully improve the country.
