But the Morehouse crowd, at least, understood that no matter how much Biden talks about his proximity to HBCU graduates and having worked with President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris, his policies have yet to fully meet their expectations, and while some may argue that a little progress is better than no progress at all, it begs the question for many of how long they should accept minimal change when the needs are far greater.

Democrats dismissing Bidenā€™s bad poll numbers showcases the disconnect between wealthy Washington elites whose hubris does not allow them to understand the very real and salient experiences of many working-class Black people who feel disillusioned and often forgotten by a political class that only shows up when itā€™s time to vote.

Democrats are frankly delusional if they think they can take these votersā€™ sentiments for granted. Thereā€™s a strong chance they will not vote for Biden at the same level they did in 2020.

    Itā€™s not propaganda. Get out of your bubble and educate yourself on why Biden is hemorrhaging Black supporters. Then hope Biden changes by the election.

      The difference is that this isnā€™t a normal election, Trump has shown his hand and itā€™s terrifying.

      Unfortunately, any criticism of Biden, even if warranted or necessary, is seen as tacit approval or support of Trump, even if it isnā€™t meant in that way.

      That being said, opinion articles are almost always biased in nature, and this one is from someone in the Republican sphere and pushes an untenable idea of what is not a true sentiment about a political rival, regardless of the rest of the content.

      Thatā€™s not a great foot to start off on if you donā€™t want to be considered as propaganda.

      We all know any changes by election day would be simple pandering with no intent of change.

      Like Biden was quoted as saying, ā€˜NOTHING will fundamentally changeā€™
