"Fund the police!" is a direct repudiation of BLM and the idea that Democrats owe Black people anything as long as the economy keeps ticking and wealth continues being extracted to the predominately white upper class. Oppressive and ultra-violent police is the system working as intended, actually.
Self-described "normie Democrats" are going to abandon everyone they need to win elections because they would rather be the GOP's partners in white supremacy.
"Abortion is a losing issue. Trans rights are a losing issue. BLM is a losing issue. This is all the left's fault!"
@timberwraith Like, not just genocide, but why would I support Allred after he threw trans kids under the bus? He didn't stand a chance against Ted Cruz anyway. And how am I supposed to feel now that so many Democrats think they should do the same thing?
@timberwraith The writing was on the wall that they were prepared to abandon entire voter blocs -- even when they thought they would win -- and doubly so now that they've lost.
On the one hand, fascists don't need to be competent to be dangerous and destructive, but on the other hand, it's hard not to think the jokers Trump wants to appoint aren't going to blunder around and fight each other nonstop.
You'd have to be an idiot to accept a Trump admin position anyway, as the revolving door was notorious the first time around. You cannot keep this man happy -- and the more successful you are, the more he thinks you're stealing the spotlight.
Every Democrat who tells you they have to reject wokeness or trans people or whatever to win elections is telling you straight up they're a fucking bigot.
I coined the phrase "moral austerity" to refer to the white liberal idea that human rights and social justice issues can be trimmed back -- at no expense to themselves, of course -- during hard times, politically.
Seriously, the girl's sports thing has revealed how many people, including liberals, don't think trans people are valid. If you're talking about "biological boys" or "biological males," you clearly don't get it and are probably just a transphobe. Because there are answers to your questions, they've been given repeatedly, if you care, which you don't.
The vast majority of these price increases are due to corporate collusion and price gouging, not fuel prices or supply shocks.
Companies have been posting record profits year on year even as they lay off thousands to pad the numbers and people have been forced deep into debt just to keep their apartments and put food on the table. None of these people care about the stock market or soaring house prices / values except as it locks them out of getting a home.
Something people keep missing with regards to the economy is even those who saw wage gains have seen those gains erased by dramatically higher prices for housing, groceries, and other necessities. The cheapest products, which working poor people rely on, saw prices rise even more. People were shopping around trying to find a job that would let them afford to live. Fast food and cheap consumer goods are also a thing of the past so people can't even enjoy themselves the way they used to.
Seriously, what is the point if the Democratic Party's only selling point is they will be responsible stewards of racial capitalism? Something many of their own voters can't participate in. Especially since the ultra-rich don't care and would rather back fascists to glut themselves at our expense? Who is this for?
Even many cis liberals treat trans people as a fetish culture they indulge so as not to look like prudes.
The silence you get over trans kids is even more damning than the women's sports shit they've been brainwashed to say.
When I was a trans kid, I needed a hug, validation, and healthcare because I was suicidal, not smarmy condescension from people who've never thought about anything ever.
Like, isn't it weird how our suicide stats just sort of faded out of the discussion after a point?
Democrats are a party of rich white people just like Republicans are. They merely pay lip service to those beneath them while treating them with scorn and contempt. They have adopted social justice rhetoric as a way to deflect blame from their own behavior. The Biden era appeals to FDR include a knowing wink to how racist he and the New Deal actually were.
American liberalism turned its back on "radicalism" when it decided to become a secondary mouthpiece for racial capital and it has become increasingly detached from the lived realities of those it claims to represent.
As someone within spitting distance of the poverty line, I know there's a huge difference between someone making under $50k and someone making six figures.
Making more money doesn't inherently make you a bad person or anti-whatever. But I'm not sure what you want from me?
