What you are saying is a common misconception, we don’t need leaders at all, we do not vote for representatives, and we absolutely do not need to try to force those who require our votes to actually advocate for our interest. There are only 2 purposes for voting, either as a legislative assembly or to form a legislative assembly. All voting on issues must be in the legislative assembly. When everyone participates as the legislative assembly, that constitutes a democracy, when we form a legislative assembly as a representation of the population, that constitutes a Republican Form of Government. A representative is someone you hire to represent your interests, a representation is a smaller version of the original, and in the case of government that must be an exact representation of the population, “The People in their Collective Capacity” assembled as the “Most Numerous Legislative Branch” by the republican principle, per capita apportionment based upon an enumeration, a census, everyone must be counted, then representation is apportioned based upon that number. Democracy is to a Republican Form of Government is as arithmetic is to calculus. Democracy is individual participation, a Republic is collective participation. Voting is ordering off a menu prepared by others, suffrage is participating in preparing the menu that is then used to reach a consensus choice. Our constitutional right is to participate in our government as equals, meaning we must be counted as free people and representation must be apportioned to our State based upon that number. Just voting at the booth is not participation, and it is not suffrage!

June 10, 1964 Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) criticized the Democrat filibuster against 1964 Civil Rights Act and called on Democrats to stop opposing racial equality. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was introduced and approved by a majority of Republicans in the Senate. The Act was opposed by most southern Democrat senators, several of whom were proud segregationists - one of them being Al Gore Sr. (D). President Lyndon B. Johnson relied on Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, Republican leader from Illinois, to get the Act passed. August 4, 1965 Senate Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) overcame Democrat attempts to block 1965 Voting Rights Act. Ninety-four percent of Republicans voted for the landmark civil rights legislation while 27% of Democrats opposed. The Voting Rights Act of 1965, abolishing literacy tests and other measures devised by Democrats to prevent blacks from voting, was signed into law. A higher percentage of Republicans voted in favor. February 19, 1976 President Gerald Ford formally rescinded President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s notorious Executive Order 9066 authorizing the internment of over 120,000 Japanese-Americans during WWII. September 15, 1981 President Ronald Reagan established the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities to increase black participation in federal education programs. June 29, 1982 President Ronald Reagan signed a 25-year extension of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. August 10, 1988 President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, compensating Japanese-Americans for the deprivation of their civil rights and property during the World War II internment ordered by FDR. November 21, 1991 President George H. W. Bush signed the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to strengthen federal civil rights legislation.

4:55 This particular narrative is demonstrably false: The Civil Rights Bill of 1964 passed both the House and Senate with overwhelming Republican support. In fact, the percentage of Republicans who voted in favor was much higher than the percentage of Democrats voting in favor in both chambers of Congress. President Johnson knew that passage of the bill could be jeopardized if he didn't get Democrats, not Republicans, in line behind it. In light of these facts, the narrative that Southern Democrats switched to the Republicans after this time because if racial issues makes no sense, and is actually false. What is true is that, starting in the mid-late sixties, more and more Southern Democrats were dismayed by what was perceived as the Democrat Party's increasingly progressivist and permissive stance on social issues in addition to the increased expansion of government entitlement programs. This disenchantment would spread throughout the nation and culminated in their overwhelming support for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984. They were called Reagan Democrats. That coalition would hold until 1992, when Democrat Bill Clinton distanced himself from these issues during his campaign, even promising to reform many entitlement programs, which he did.

I actually watched this video twice, because I wanted to respond as succinctly as possible without being misunderstood. To start there is nothing more racist than the term “the black vote”! This term suggest our votes can be garnered by a persuasive argument to consolidate and prostitute our vote to get behind a particular candidate with a particular ideology as part of a faction, a political party, with a particular ideology as expressed by their party platform, which can be tailored to appeal to blacks to get their support and their vote. Before you can understand our two party system, you must first understand the civil war and reconstruction and the role of political parties after the war during reconstruction. We talk about “Jim Crow” without actually understanding “Jim Crow”. If we look at the south after the Civil War we find black representatives, but soon after that time there were absolutely no black representatives in congress, because of political parties. The purpose of political parties was to control who could become a representative, no matter who votes in an election, only party candidates will be elected, the choice then is democrat or republican, then composition and control of our governing institutions is determined by majority party affiliation. Even when a candidate runs as an independent and wins, they immediately caucus with either the democrats or republicans to participate in congress, take Bernie Sanders and Lisa Murkowski for instance, Burnie caucuses with the democrats Lisa caucuses with the Republicans. By the way, States have electors that vote, not electoral college votes. The responsibility of the electors is to form a list of qualified and suitable candidates from each State, the list are then combined in congress, then the top candidates on the list are considered by the States, then the States make the choice by vote, 1 vote per State, and a majority of all the States is necessary to the choice. (This is easily proved by a cursory review of Article 2 Section 1 and the 12th amendment of the Constitution of the United States) The electors make a list of candidates, the States make the choice, this is a consensus choice by the democratic principle of government. No this is not everything, but it’s enough to get started. We need to discuss these matters together as a society, without the input of our political factions and their experts, and it’s time we started, we can no longer accept this dysfunctional system as normal!

[@Frodojack]

Sorry dude, but this leaves out a lot of important facts that would change your narrative. Black voters switched to the Democratic Party in large numbers in the 1932 election and ever since then were majority Democrat. While Roosevelt had a great deal of black support, he himself was a racist and a segregationist who refused to integrate the military. In 1948 when Strom Thurmond he was a Democrat and although his party was unofficially called the Dixiecrat Party, it was actually the States' Rights Democratic Party. After he failed to win the presidency he returned to the Democratic Party. Under Republican Dwight Eisenhower, the first Civil Rights Act was passed in 1957 and he even sent the 101st Airborne to integrate schools in Little Rock, Arkansas. In 1964, Barry Goldwater ran as a Republican against incumbent Democrat Lyndon Johnson. Goldwater helped found the NAACP in Arizona and as head of the National Guard in the state ordered it to be racially integrated. Contrary to much of what's written about him, he DID vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act: He voted for the House version of the bill, but not the Senate version due to its language on private businesses. As a libertarian he believed private citizens should run their businesses as the wanted to, and if they implemented discriminatory policies they would be free to fail. But because he refused to vote for this additional language he was deemed a racist and lost a significant amount of the black vote. His hawkish war policies on Vietnam and his openness to using nuclear weapons also played a major role in his loss. Strom Thurmond changed his party to Republican in 1964, but every other Dixiecrat leader remained Democrat. Meanwhile, Lyndon Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act with a majority of Republicans. He followed this up with the Great Society, which created the modern welfare state. He allegedly said (using racist language) that based on the Great Society package that blacks would continue to vote for Democrats for the next two hundred years. In the 1968 election Richard Nixon did have a Southern Strategy: it was to appeal to the economic concerns of Southerners and he would let the racists vote for George Wallace. It should also be pointed out that the Democratic Party ALSO had a Southern Strategy, that's because BOTH parties have regional strategies. Kevin Phillips did not create Nixon's Southern Strategy. It was created by Harry Dent and Pat Buchanan. Nixon appealed to "law and order" because from 1965 to 1968 the U.S. experienced massive destructive riots, and Democrat activists labelled this "dog-whistle politics" based on the use of dog-whistles and bullhorns by Montgomery, Alabama, Chief of Public Safety, Bull Connor (who was a Democrat his entire life, which ended in 1973). In the 1968 election, Nixon didn't win the South. George Wallace won the Deep South states and Lyndon Johnson won Texas. It is true that Nixon won over the South in the 1972, but he also won 49 out of all 50 states! So it's misleading to focus on some Southern Strategy to single out the South in 1972 when he won all but one states in the United States. Moreover, in the 1976 election the South was won by a Democrat named Jimmy Carter. It throws a huge crimp in the Democratic narrative that despite the so-called GOP Southern Strategy that the South returned to Democrat control in 1976. By the time Ronald Reagan ran and won in the 1980 election, the South was demographically different. He ran on economics and law and order. Republicans continued to receive only a marginal amount of the black vote in single digits until 2016 when Donald Trump received 13% of the black male vote.

[@TheWorld-xs8ly]

Another interesting fact is that Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves, was a Republican. So, the majority of blacks identified as Republicans because it was a Republican President who freed us. But, we had it really bad economically so when the New Deal was put in place by Democratic President Roosevelt in the 1930’s, we switched from the Republican Party to the Democrats.

[@pee-buddy]

Long story short, there are white supremacists and there are black people. From independence to late 1940s the white supremacists congregated in the Democratic party. African Americans said "hell no!" and joined the Republican party. Between 1940 and 1960 the white supremacists started loosing control of the democratic party and used the "Southern stratrgy" to take over the Republican party by the late 60s. Consequently, African Americans peaced-out of the Republican party and joined the Democratic party. In summary the parties ideologies towards African Americans switched and African Americans switched parties accordingly. The end.

[@Kelper30000]

Go watch “Knowing better-Party stitch”. He explains it near perfection. My summarized version is in the 60s republicans started the southern strategy where they switch their polices to make racist southerners more happy and elected Goldberg to run for President. Goldberg was heavily against the civil rights. The dems became more progressive on civil rights and started electing progressive presidents. So in the 60s the black vote when from 80% republican to 80% democrat. At the same EXACT time, the white vote went from majority democrat to majority republican. Turning the slavery south red in the 60s which has lasted until now. Go search up a election map and you’ll see the south turn red in the 60s. Then search up black vote by year and you’ll “coincidentally”, see the black vote became blue at the same time.

June 10, 1964 Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) criticized the Democrat filibuster against 1964 Civil Rights Act and called on Democrats to stop opposing racial equality. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was introduced and approved by a majority of Republicans in the Senate. The Act was opposed by most southern Democrat senators, several of whom were proud segregationists - one of them being Al Gore Sr. (D). President Lyndon B. Johnson relied on Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, Republican leader from Illinois, to get the Act passed. August 4, 1965 Senate Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) overcame Democrat attempts to block 1965 Voting Rights Act. Ninety-four percent of Republicans voted for the landmark civil rights legislation while 27% of Democrats opposed. The Voting Rights Act of 1965, abolishing literacy tests and other measures devised by Democrats to prevent blacks from voting, was signed into law. A higher percentage of Republicans voted in favor.

@@buckeyewill2166 strongly disagree based on facts - - - When he was running for president in 2000, Vice President Al Gore told the NAACP that his father, Senator Al Gore Sr., had lost his Senate seat because he voted for the Civil Rights Act. Uplifting story - except it’s false. Gore Sr. voted against the Civil Rights Act. He lost in 1970 in a race that focused on prayer in public schools, the Vietnam War, and the Supreme Court. Al Gore’s reframing of the relevant history is the story of the Democratic party in microcosm. The party’s history is pockmarked with racism and terror. The Democrats were the party of slavery, black codes, Jim Crow, and that miserable terrorist excrescence, the Ku Klux Klan. Republicans were the party of Lincoln, Reconstruction, anti-lynching laws, and the civil rights acts of 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964. The Southern Manifesto declared the signatories’ opposition to the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education and their commitment to segregation forever. Fulbright was also among those who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That filibuster continued for 83 days. Speaking of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, let’s review (since they don’t teach this in schools): The percentage of House Democrats who supported the legislation? 61 percent. House Republicans? 80 percent. In the Senate, 69 percent of Democrats voted yes, compared with 82 percent of Republicans.

The Coushatta massacre of 1874 was the result of an attack by the White League, a paramilitary organization composed of Democrats, on Republican officeholders and African Americans in Red River Parish, Louisiana. They murdered six white Republicans and 20 Blacks who were witnesses.[38][39] The White League had organized to restore white supremacy by driving Republicans out of Louisiana, disrupting their political organizing, and intimidating or murdering freedmen.[40] Like the Red Shirts and other "White Line" organizations, they were described as "the military arm of the Democratic Party." On election day, November 3, 1874, an Alabama chapter of the White League repeated actions taken earlier that year in Vicksburg, Mississippi. They invaded Eufaula AL, killing at least seven black Republicans, injuring at least 70 more, and driving off more than 1,000 unarmed Republicans from the polls.[41] The group moved on to Spring Hill AL, where members stormed the polling place, destroying the ballot box, and killing the 16-year-old son of a white Republican judge in their shooting.[42] The White League refused to count any Republican votes cast. But, Republican voters reflected the black majority in the county, as well as white supporters. They outnumbered Democratic voters by a margin greater than two to one. The League declared the Democratic candidates victorious, forced Republican politicians out of office, and seized every county office in Barbour County, Alabama.[43] Such actions were repeated in other parts of the South in the 1870s, as Democrats sought to regain political dominance in states with black majorities and numerous Republican officials. In Barbour County, the Democrats auctioned off as "slaves" (for a maximum cost of $2 per month), or otherwise silenced all Republican witnesses to the events. They were intimidated from testifying to the coup if the case went to federal court.[43] The Colfax massacre in Colfax, Louisiana on April 13, 1873. An estimated 62-153 black militia men were killed while surrendering to a mob of former Confederate soldiers, members of the Ku Klux Klan and the White League.

Finally, the Republican Party and its leaders have consistently denounced and resisted the “alt right” ultra-conservative racist organizations. It’s why these racists formed their own political party in 2009 (The American Freedom Party). Republicans, historically, have always championed civil rights for the black and all ethnicities. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed thanks to widespread Republican support (who had proposed similar legislation in the Eisenhower administration). All Southern Democrats (including those Dixiecrats) voted against it. Oh, and David Duke? He only identified as Republican when politically expedient. Otherwise, he’s been in the Democrat, Populist or Reformed camp. Maybe instead of looking at the anomaly of Strom Thurmond, we should investigate the political expediency of another Democrat: Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) who spent 62 years in public office. Byrd served for over half a century at the national level, as a Representative and, later, a powerful Senator. Byrd died in office (2010) at the ripe age of 92. Hillary Clinton called Byrd a “friend and mentor.” Barack Obama noted how “the arc of his life bent toward justice.” The press gave him a blessed pass. That’s because Robert Byrd proved a quintessential post-WW2 Democrat. Originally a member and leader of the Ku Klux Klan in West Virginia (an affiliation he later disavowed), Byrd refused to fight in World War 2 because it meant serving alongside blacks. He routinely voted with other segregationists in the 1950s. As a senator, Byrd filibustered and voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He abstained his vote for the 1965 Voting Act. He also voted against the confirmation of Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court justice. This same Robert Byrd then politically transformed from a known racist to a beloved mentor. How? Simple. He towed the party line…for nearly 57 years! It’s possible to argue Byrd didn’t lose his racism but rather, like most good politicians, shelved it. He enjoyed his power and position. It wasn’t the first time Byrd did what was necessary. In fact, the whole reason Byrd initially joined the KKK was for “political power.” To his credit, he did leave the organization, but still it showed Byrd to be a political opportunist. Once in national office, at least until 1967 (when being a segregationist went out of fashion), he retained his racist roots. Byrd told a reporter: “Don’t get that albatross [the KKK] around your neck. Once you’ve made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena.”[

[@michaelbenardo5695]

BOTH parties have changed their spots. The Republican Party used to be the Center-Left party, and the party of freedom and equality for everybody, whereas the Democratic Party, in the 1800s and for many decades of the last century, was the party of racism, White privilege, Jim Crowe laws, the KKK, etc. Yes, others besides you do know about that. But after about 1965, the parties switched positions. The formerly freedom and equality-loving Republicans welcomed the Dixiecrats with open arms, while the Democratic Party repudiated racism. Yes, it took several decades before all the Dixiecrats who stayed to disappear, but it is safe to say that today, in 2023, the Democratic Party is against racism, Jim Crowe laws, Sundown towns, the KKK, Redlining, etc., whereas today's republican party is openly all for all of that. David Duke, grand wizard of the KKK, is now a republican and a Trump supporter.
