The same way we hate Buhari I've here is how they hate Trump.
Remember how he handled BLM??
Covid19??
Using abusive words on reporters??
How then will they love him??
Obama was more Christian than Trump is but y'all love hypocrites like Trump who'll say his religion is why people hate him.
I told u, you are all about CNN.
Trump has the biggest, strongest following in USA.
Didn't you see his rallies? BLM is another topic. The BLM group is just drawing America back.
As for Covid 19 please tell me, which leader in the west handled it better.
Trump played his role. He gave every state the freedom to act and he supported the states when they needed federal aid.
I'd you were in his shoes whst would you have done better

The BLM movement is really bad for the blacks and it does not make much sense.
If you want us to talk about it, I would tell you why it's not a wise movement and it actually not good for blacks

Don't fall for that their stupid propaganda even BBC and Aljazeera will not seem neutral to them when they criticise Trump too.

I watched a BBC documentary on Trump and it was not friendly to him does that mean BBC is biased no there is no good thing to report about Trump so when they go against him his supporters claim bias.
80% of the mainstream media is liberal leaning in varying degrees. That is why they get polls wrong.

You do know that the only black senator in America today is from the Republican Party? Your initial question is an indictment on the democrats but you couldn’t see it! The blacks run many states in America..down to the county level and yet those states are a shythole...look at Chicago, even the mayor is black, the police department there is run by a black man yet the crime level in Chicago is second to none....they cover it up and deflect their corruption and incompetence by shouting racism and how trump isn’t helping the black people...when you ask them...but your mayor and most political office holders in your states are black they go dead mute.

Where are you guys getting your own information from? America has only one black senator and that only black senator is a republican? Are you in the year 2020 or some other year? I asked because a single google search would have let you know that what you wrote above is a BIG LIE. There is more than one black senator, just that only one of them is a republican(Tim Scott). The present running mate of Biden, Senator Kamala Harris is a democrat, also Senator Cory Boker.
If you want to really know the party that is electing black, check the House of Representatives, or check the county majors. Both for females and blacks, you must give it to the democrat.
Concerning Chicago: Is that the only city run by black? Atlanta, GA is one of the great cities in the US, its mayor is a black lady. Chicago has been like that for many years, it is not the fault of Trump neither can you blame Lightfoot for it. They can only do a little unless the Whitehouse is really interested in solving the problem. They will be ready to create jobs and do a lot in cutting down gangs. It is like a street cult in Portharcourt or Mushin and Ikorodu, Lagos. You know, in America, they have free access to guns which makes it worse.

Now to some statistics
The blacks make up only 13% of the population but commit close to 50% of the violent crimes.
More whits areally killed than blacks yearly than blacks killed by whites.
Blacks kill by far more police relative to population.
Now 97% of black homicide is committed by fellow blacks... simply put blacks are their own greatest problem.
Funny enough BLM is not interested in black on black violence. They are only keen on fighting police.
Now the number of white men killed by police is almost twice that of black on any given year yet you never here of white lives matter.
You can check any of my statistics

I think Trump is going to win by a considerably large margin (maybe not the popular vote). The lead in Florida is increasing rapidly. smiley
Please what is the meaning of popular vote and the other vote. Senatorial or something.

The problem with the blacks in America is cultural.
They are growing a culture of violence. Just listen to there music.
They have a culture of irresponsible baby daddy's.
Have u not noticed that most Nigerians that go to America are very successful, are they not also black.
Many of the doctors are Nigerians
. So the blacks should look inward. Police is not the enemy

Think about popular vote as what obtains here in Nigeria. In other words, the difference between the votes garnered is what determines the winner. That is not applicable in the USA. In the US, states have points allocated to them. For example, Florida has 29 points.

So, if Trump wins Florida, he has +29. Same for other states. As a mathematical rule, the first candidate to reach 270 points win. You can read up on the Electoral College system.

In US, every state is alloted certain electoral college votes based on their population.
There are others with more ecletoral college votes than others.
All together they have Total 538 electoral college votes.
From the 538, a candidate must secure 270 to be elected as the POTUS/ President of United States
You can have popular votes in Us but still fail to meet the electoral college votes, just like in 2016. Hilary has more votes in US over 2m than Trump yet she didn't meet the college votes.
In other to meet the electoral college votes, you have to win those state, they do refer to them as swing states, Florida, Pennsylvania,Texas, Ohio and others.
How the electoral college votes works.
For Example, Florida is alloted with 29 electoral college votes.
And when the total Votes in Florida is announced
GOP/ Republican has 200,000 votes while Democratic has 300,000. The implication is that the total Electoral college votes of 29 in Florida goes to Democratic.
Their electoral college votes are not the same in every state, hence, the need to win those states with higher electoral college votes.
Only 2 states share the electoral college votes according to votes proportion
Can an elector vote for another candidate in the college?

Are you a white American or a Nigerian?

Have you heard of the term systemic racism or institutional racism before?

Where racial minorities regardless of their hard work are denied certain privileges that should be ordinarily readily available to them?

Yes and No….it depends on the law of that state. some state permit that while other states the electors must vote according to the popular vote of such state.

Just quietly follow this thread. The USA election is a realtime election where results drop in every second from the time voting starts. So calm your nerves and learn how a truly democratic system works and what a country like Nigeria could learn from it.
