A liberal pundit on CNN suggests that white people should be held accountable if Harris loses the election.

Angela Rye, a political commentator, stated on CNN that "White people" should be held accountable "for not participating in saving democracy" if they do not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.

On "First of All" Saturday, CNN host Victor Blackwell discussed the criticism directed at former President Barack Obama for criticizing Black men for not supporting Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, despite polls indicating that Black men are increasingly leaning towards Trump.

"Blackwell started by saying that it was the first time since Obama was in Pittsburgh and invoked the potential of sexism in his appeal to Black men to support the vice president. He then asked if there should be a course correction because there was so much backlash to that framework. Blackwell also questioned whether it was a mistake for the former president to say what he did or to say it publicly."

The conversation swiftly shifted from the previous president to "White folks."

President Obama is campaigning for democracy, and it's great. However, I believe it's a mistake to let white people avoid accountability for not participating in saving democracy.

"Rye stated that people are upset when presidential candidates do not wear a flag lapel pin or pledge allegiance to the flag. However, their definition of patriotism has changed to include attempting to tear down the Capitol in a terrorist attack on January 6th, 2021."

"The largest demographic in this country should bear the responsibility of saving democracy. This includes both White men and White women. I do not want to see a women's march with pussy hats in January if something goes wrong. Instead, I want to see them march to the polls."

She concluded, "It's time for White folks to turn their ire and attention to each other to ensure they also do their part."

In Pittsburgh last week, Obama criticized Black Americans for not showing the same level of enthusiasm for Harris' presidential campaign as they did for his own in previous elections.

Obama stated that the energy and turnout in all corners of neighborhoods and communities have not been the same as what was seen during his campaign.

"I also want to mention that this issue seems more pronounced among the brothers. If you don't mind, I need to briefly address you both and say that when faced with a choice, it's important to consider someone who has experienced similar struggles, pain, and joy as you have."

Obama contrasted his vision of Harris with that of former President Trump, according to several reports.

The 44th president stated that many people are coming up with "all kinds of reasons and excuses" to either sit home or support another candidate, despite being apprehensive of Harris.

"I believe that some of what I'm saying directly to men is causing them to question the idea of a female president, and they are coming up with alternative explanations and reasons for their opposition."

A recent New York Times/Siena College poll shows that Vice President Kamala Harris' support among Black voters has decreased since the 2020 presidential election. In 2020, Harris won approximately 90% of the Black vote, but this has since dropped to 78%. Additionally, Harris' support among Black men has dropped even more significantly, from 85% in 2020 to 70% in the latest poll.
