Obama loses P.Diddy?
In 2004, the rapper formerly known as Puff Daddy was active with the “Vote or Die” group to encourage youth voter turnout. In 2008, he upped it to “Obama or Die”.
Guess what he says today?
During a recent Q&A at Revolt’s music conference, Diddy let loose with his true thoughts about voting.
Asked how young people could make themselves heard in the upcoming election, Diddy said, “See the things that’s tricky about politics is there’s so much bullsh*t with it. We started Vote or Die and… and from the community we’re in, we’re not with hearing too much of the bullsh*t. So that’s why we get disenfranchised, [we’re] disconnected because nothing that they’re saying actually relates to us… So Vote or Die, and getting out the vote, those things [were] laid out there so people could understand about the process. We started Vote or Die, and the whole process was all full of sh*t. The whole sh*t is a scam.”
He then added that people could still vote if they wanted: “At the end of the day, I’m not telling you not to vote. But I’m saying be a realist and know that they’re motherf*cking kicking some bullsh*t up there.”
Ya think?
And Obama is still President, so….is that who he’s talking about?

It could be “Obama is hobbled by the Republican control of both Houses, so now voting is pointless again”. I’m not quite ready to believe the scales have fallen from his eyes yet. Or maybe it’s because it’s sinking in that the Democrats aren’t (AFAIK) fielding a black candidate – only old white men and one middle-aged white woman – whereas black men have been in the Republican lineup two election cycles in a row.

I would check what he did, if anything, in 2012.

See, if he supported Obama in 2012, then his indictment is on Hillary.

Clever!
But I think he would be saying “it’s a scam” and “they’re kicking some bullsh*t up there”, about U.S. politics as an entrenched / ongoing process. So I can’t really see how he’d be excluding Obama. (That he means to indict the GOP along with the rest, is obvious.)
