Latest / Black Box Theory Podcast / BBT #09 Snippet | Your Vote Is Worth More Than You Think — Especially Right Now
Transcript
- Thomas: Please. malcolm: go make some type of change in your community, ⁓ actually, I hope people understand that voting does matter. This not a, like ⁓ I cannot stand the ignorance when I say, when people hear people say, bruh, it's just my one wasn't gonna change nothing bruh. D, I hope people understand that that type of thinking spreads and it bleeds across our community and our population. It's not about your one specific vote, it's about the way that you think and about how it spreads to other people. And when that accumulates and spreads across several people, it becomes entire communities, it becomes entire neighborhoods, it becomes entire areas and cities that don't vote because everyone thinks that their one vote doesn't matter, which you're not accounting for. It's everyone else that thinks that their one vote doesn't matter. Your one vote does matter. It can be literally the tide changing kind of pivotal moment that we need to get new leadership in the house. If you like war, if you like paying $4 a gallon, $8 a gallon in some places, if you enjoy rising costs of everything, if you enjoy seeing federal programs get cut, enjoy seeing HBCUs and minority serving institutions get there, federal programs and scholarships and funding get cut. If you enjoy seeing healthcare, actual important research for vaccinations for children get cut. If you just enjoy seeing these policies and this message isn't for you, but if you're someone with any type of moral compass, some type of human decency and just a fundamental, just if you're just not an ignorant person, I hope this is a reason for you to go out and vote, bro. Like said, I'm not a poli-sci guy, but I have enough common sense to see this is not right. This is not how the people that lead our that lead our country are supposed to be handling themselves and leading. We're in a war for no reason and we're doing Israel's bidding. Yo, and I'm not sitting here saying I'm not going to be the guy that says, ⁓ Kamala would have been perfect, she wouldn't have messed. I'm sure she would have made her own mistakes. But I know for a fact under her leadership, we would not be in wars for no reason. We just wouldn't be in half of the mess that we're in now. And sure, it's a hypothetical, but this is literally the worst of the worst. Thomas: Thanks. malcolm: And we're not going to make this into a political, into a Joe Rogan, we're not doing that. But, we got to get this across at some point. I hope people that are listening to this really resonate with what I'm saying because I'm not saying this for clicks or for like, dude, please go vote. I'm banging you. I'm genuinely banging you, bro. Thomas: Yeah. Get out and vote, especially our minority people, as we saw, ⁓ that swung the election last time, unfortunately, in the wrong direction. ⁓ But hey, we got to get out there. We got to go vote. I've met too many black people that say, ⁓ it don't matter. Bro, if you don't have trust in the system, bro, go move to Cuba, bro, like the place that's probably the most anti-system place that you can go to. ⁓ America. malcolm: Yeah. Thomas: Vote, bro.
