1. Members of the Black community need to vote in larger numbers than they have in

the past, at least than they did in 2016.

It is a good article, but nothing will change until Black voters show up in larger percentages than they have in the polls.

I remember the 2008 election of Barack Obama. Black voters showed up, and we got Barack Obama. That proves the power of Black voters. Trump won by small margins in many states. Black and Hispanic voters showing up in larger numbers than they did would have made a big difference in some of those states.

The article shows that at this time you cannot count on White voters. That's all there is to it. Here in California, there is no problem. But in presidential elections, our California votes are not counted as equal to those of people in most other states -- especially less populated states.
