Pandermonium in full effect: Democrats keep treating Black voters like a prop instead of people. Xavier Becerra, running for California governor, was asked on Tavis Smiley’s show what he’d do for Black Californians. His response? He won’t promise “40 acres and a mule” (because he knows those promises don’t get kept) and then pointed to his work on cash bail as the big deliverable. Critics called it out immediately, reducing an entire community’s concerns to either handouts or criminal justice tweaks while ignoring hardworking families, maternal health realities, and actual opportunity. In Michigan, Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is scrambling after Black voters overwhelmingly backed his primary opponent. His outreach includes videos trying to distance himself from “gas station” stereotypes and, in one clip, ordering fried chicken at a meal with a Black host. Obama is being brought in to help get the vote in line. It’s the classic pattern: performative gestures when the numbers look soft, not sustained focus on jobs, safety, or schools. This is the soft bigotry of low expectations dressed up as solidarity. For decades the playbook has been the same, show up late, lean on stereotypes or empty promises, then move on once the ballots are cast. More Black voters are noticing the gap between the rhetoric and the results on crime, education, economic mobility, and family stability. Time to demand better than pandermonium.
