Some people may not like them, but The Breakfast Club has been a source for Political interviews for at least 10 years. They're syndicated in 90 markets and a ton of black people listen in every day. It's one of the few venues to reliably reach black voters which is why politicians keep going back and why this article exists.

Who the fuck cares what any celeb thinks about voting? Everyone who raised their hand should be disenfranchised for not being mature enough for the responsibility.
Just 8 or 10 more B and C list celebrities and 6 to 10 more middle of the road musical artists or pro sports players and it will be ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that Joe is a giant piece of NPC shit you shouldn't vote for.
Nobody gives a shit. How is this even news?
When have you heard anyone having main character syndrome been a good thing?
F'ing Christ, it's the presidency not god damn real house wives of DC here dumbass.
And though President Joe Biden is “an uninspiring candidate who doesn’t have any main-character energy,”
Sigh.
Come the fuck on. Just shut the fuck up, you dipshit. "Main character energy." Motherfucker, it's not Goku VS. Vegeta for the 2024 bid. It's the goddamned leader of the country. Maybe not having main character energy is a good thing. Maybe instead of having a pissing contest we can have have an actual ballot. I'm sorry, I'm probably expecting too much when I hope that ego takes a back seat and the person I'm talking to literally named himself "tha god." Fucking moron.
From your lips to "tha god's" ears.
It's actually an acronym, To Hit Armored Goku On Dragonball.
Well now I'm even more interested in this opinions of mainstream politics 🙄
I get where this guy is coming from, but for someone so… opinionated, (and I really respect this guy a lot) he can hardly place all of the onus on Biden for his positions, especially as a public figure. And - of particular importance - taking a stand, most often for the right thing, has its costs.
We do what’s best right because it’s the right thing to do, not because we expect a payoff or because we think it’ll make us look good. And if you do, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
Edit: ok… on second thought: maybe it’s his pretty eyes that have bamboozled me into not noticing that this guy is kinda full of shit.
Did you read the article? He said he knows “who he will vote for to preserve democracy” (Biden). It isn’t unpatriotic or foolish to criticize both sides for what you legitimately see.
Honestly, I’ve found some of the dismissal and rage in this thread disturbing. Charlamagne is nowhere near an enemy of Biden, and he was just answering questions that some people around him have been asking.
Setting the precedent that anything less than full throated support of Biden is unacceptable is a slippery slope—Trump supporters want exactly that for their side too. Let people speak their mind, and listen if you want to.
Oh no, this is horrible! Quick, someone find out how Ja Rule is coming down on the issue!
Where is Ja?
Probably on the Trump campaign, honestly, Ja sucks.
So does Chappelle now... fwiw
