Same as it ever was. This needs to change. I have hopes, but so far only hopes. We shall see.

The difference between Georgia electing two democrats and any other situation couldnāt be more stark. Has there ever been a single state-wide election that would have more impact?

Using robocalls to try to provoke a coup is pretty on brand for 2020

The campaign strategistsā take is surely that any additional attention to Black voters would have been wasted.
I believe this is called ātaking the Black vote for grantedā and it will be sound strategy until it isnāt.
Hopefully when it isnāt, it is because the two party system has become the Biden Democrats and the AOC Democrats, and it is middle class white men who are taken for granted by the Biden Democrats.

Website of Trumpās only remaining lawyer in PA cases

Uh huh.
A law firm representing Trump in his attempt to challenge the election count in Pennsylvania has withdrawn from the case.
Porter Wright Morris & Arthur said in a court motion filed late Thursday that attorneys Ronald L. Hicks Jr. and Carolyn B. McGee would no longer be representing Trumpās campaign in the case.
āPlaintiffs and Porter Wright have reached a mutual agreement that Plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws,ā the attorneys said in their motion.
The firm said Trumpās campaign was āin the process of retainingā other attorneys to represent it. Linda A. Kerns, a Philadelphia attorney who is representing Trump in a flurry of lawsuits in the stateās courts, will remain on the case

Of course, thereās also what Biden administration does (or doesnāt do) until the next election. If they deliver good, or at least okay, results to Black Americans, I would imagine they will get the Black votes, even if they spend most of the the election season pursuing other demographics.

Biden does seem to do better on that count more than most of his DNC establishment colleagues. Thatās not to say heāll be listening to younger or more progressive Black Americans, but heās shown a genuine ablity to connect with the more traditionalist leaders of Black voting blocs (local party bosses, preachers, old-line organisations like the NAACP).

youāve made a good point here. one other thing i like about him is that he seems willing, happy even, to use the extremely high level of privilege he carries with him (older, wealthy, white, establishment) and at least acts like heās interested in using that privilege to help out people who donāt carry so much.
speaking as a middle-aged, middle class, white guy from texas thatās a project iāve been on for many years and one iām attuned to. biden is far from privilege-blind and really does seem interested in the hard work of lifting the underprivileged up.

That was the firm that introduced a āPoll Watcherā who said he was obstructed from carrying out his duties but neglected to mention that said poll watcher was a lawyer at the same firm until forced to admit so on cross-examination. So they are not merely withdrawing, they are also facing public humiliation and serious damage to their firmās reputation.
Mr. Trumpās personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, introduced Mr. Mercer as a volunteer election observer who had been āobstructed in a horrible way.ā Mr. Mercer added, āWeāre there, supposedly observing, but we canāt see.ā
Neither mentioned that Mr. Mercer was a lawyer at the firm that was representing Mr. Trumpās campaign. Reached on Friday, Mr. Mercer declined to comment.
