You have a good evening, & I will leave you with this - I've never once lost a night of sleep at losing, or being wrong, when I followed my own internal belief system, but lost plenty of it when I lost, or was wrong when I would forgo my own beliefs for pressure from others. Keep up the good fight.
As do the other 120 million voters, and if that's fair for YOU then that is fair for them also.
To say you don't understand what that has to do with elections is to say that you don't understand politics, and would make a terrible political strategist. Which oddly enough, is exactly what you all keep saying you are doing - critiquing democratic political strategy.
Your answer seems either extremely naive or extremely disingenuous. I could ask that about innumerable voter issues. How many of the 120m registered voters in this country have any of these in their top 3 voter issues: Wages Healthcare Jobs Affordable housing American defense Inflation Retirement
And be honest, what percent of the 120m voters in this country do you think trans issues (the ones I've been exposed to) is in their top 10, let alone top 5 most important voting issues? & if those issues *aren't* the issues then that's a trans delegation communication problem, not a voter problem.
The ONLY reason there is a liberal party in this country is because Black Americans held their noses and voted for candidates we KNEW would do less for us than for other marginalized groups - FOR DECADES, and at every level of government.
My answer to your question is literally in the thread above where you jumped into this convo. And y'all kill me on SM with your 🗣🗣STRANGER ON THE INTERNET I DEMAND YOU PAY FULL ATTENTION TO WHATEVER RANDOM SIDEWAYS IDEAS & ARGUMENTS I POSIT ON THESE WORLD WIDE WEBS. Bebè I don't give a fuck. 😒
I'm not sure why people argue that, if you are saying don't give you a hundred thousand then you're clearly saying give you zero. Solutions to not being propagandized can vary, but I would say a good first step is realizing how propaganda is being used. youtu.be/omc-5zj70M0?...
As a Jewish Billionaire, we'll have a chorus of "Never Pritzker" if he looks to be a contender. For anyone, really. It is in the republican propaganda playbook to use SM to make liberal voters apathetic by pretending there is a groundswell of disgruntled libs vehemently opposed to a candidate.
That last line - you sure about that? Not saying it is right, but is it true?
This isn't a Newsom issue. This is a phenomenon I saw play out when Kamala became the candidate - creating apathy in voters. It's a larger "propaganda" narrative that serves republicans. This 2-minute clip, from the documentary on the Cambridge Analytica scandal explains. youtu.be/omc-5zj70M0?...
With more than 120 armed conflicts going on around the globe, how does a girl ever decide which one is worth dismantling her 250-year-old domestic democracy, for? Some of y'all seem so sure. 🤔
My personal one is the one I just said - I'll hold my nose & vote dem because the stakes are too high not too. But there are lots of folks on this app who are active politically, and can answer that better than I can. Honestly - you're doing work by engaging authentically in the conversations.
Also, thanks for the exploration of the topics and issues, and exchange of ideas in a civil manner. 🙏🏽
(2/2) when the ONLY reason they have a liberal party at all is because Black Americans held their noses and voted for candidates they KNEW would do less for them than for other marginalized groups - FOR DECADES, at every level of government.
Not the only solution. But I will say this - "Progressives" have a lot of fucking audacity saying they'll blow up the democratic party, everybody be damned, if their particular demands aren't met, when... (1/2)
We need solutions to "Never Gavin" NOW. What is the viable alternative? Those convos need to be happening right now.
Yes. Before anyone becomes a democratic candidate, its fine, but again - it also need solutions. It's the DON'T VOTE DEMOCRAT IF IT'S THAT *PERSON*. Propaganda that is irritating my soul. What exactly is the outcome that will be achieved by that messaging?
I get to tell you that aliens are planning an invasion, cuz freedom of speech, the internet, etc. Also, not you lecturing about how you aren't going to stand for Americans fucking over WHOLE populations to a genX black woman?! To think y'all could have done that, this whole time. 😒
Looks like I have an admirer who's too shy to let me reply to his posts.
How is Pritzker being a Jewish billionaire gonna play out in the *NEVER that democrat!* propaganda? We already know the anti-Harris propaganda.
If you read every reply I made, I never voiced support for Newsom, never even mentioned his name. That's all projection. My initial post was that anti-democrat-candidate slander isn't helpful ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT SOLUTIONS FOR DEFEATING REPUBLICANS in upcoming elections. Then hit dogs howled. 🤷🏾♀️
Literally what I said they could be doing, instead of just bashing every dem candidate. 😮💨
The lack of reading comprehension, knowledge of political global socioeconomic history, etc. often leads to conclusions like this, in ppl who lack critical thinking skills - Fact: ice cream sales go up in summer. Fact: murder rates go up in the summer. Fools: 🗣ICE 🗣CREAM 🗣CAUSES 🗣MURDER!!
*sigh* If only you all would ever learn to listen to black women. 😮💨 So you're targeting all the democrats on the world wide web, or just *some* of us? Ahh, well, it's your energy. 🤷🏾♀️
THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE THING we can do to our mental health is to target strangers with the pain & anger we have, because we feel helpless in directing it to the people in our families, social circles, & communities who did us immense harm. Go heal. Strangers on the internet aren't your problem. 😮💨😒
NOT ONE OF THESE ISSUES IS PARTISAN. -Jobs in the NEW economy -Affordable college & job training programs -Taxes -Crime -Affordable basic healthcare -Workers' rights & wages -Mental health healthcare -Good PUBLIC primary education (83% of all students attend public schools) -Affordable housing
Why Americans are so uninformed - heard on network news shows this morning Political pundit on random topic: 500 Million Americans are... Reporter: "India is being pushed into the arms of their long-time adversaries, Russia & China" You mean the R & C in BRIC - the alliance they joined in 2012? 🙄
In my almost 20 years of internet debate & commentary, the number of times I have been accused of being a "white male in blackface" during heated political & socioeconomic debate says everything about the very limited intellectual parameters that wyt folks believe black women operate in. 🙄
By the boatload you bytches have said AD NASEUM on this thread FUCK THE LARGER LEFT AGENDA AND EVERYBODY IN IT if our specific needs aren't met. 🙄
And y'all just out here telling everyone else they need to die or be imprisoned for some fake-ass revolution you can't fight, for your singular ass causes.
Exactly, bebe. Write yourself a prescription. No bullies in the world like ppl born as whyt men. 🙄
This COULD have been a discussion on how trans people could talk about and incorporate their agendas into the larger left agenda, but naaa. And I can't wait to hear the vitriol from you all on the Jewish billionaire Pritzker if he starts to be a contender. Y'all are ops, plain and simple.
On the anniversary of Emmett Till's death in the US, but white men who can't get their hormones covered by insurance are the new jews. Of course. Everybody else and their freedoms needs to get to the back of the line because you can't play women's sports. *SHOCKER*
I feel bad for the rest of the trans community that got railroaded into letting muffukas born & raised as WHITE MALES take over their entire movement because NO ONE ON THE ENTIRE fkng planet has as much audacity. They're literally throwing black brown & asian ppl into fkng prison camps in the US.
Funny cuz I was just coming to say "Later heuxs. Until next time* cuz I have real-world shit to do. It only took y'all to call like 10-12 backups to make me bored and tired of the lack of real debate. 🥱 Toodles.
Who said I didn't want replies? I aint never blocked a muffuka on SM, trust. I've been doing this shit since before Obama was even a candidate.
Bebe I'm HERE! YOU'RE the one complaining about the heat of debating strangers on the WWW.
Oohhh noooooo! Will black women become a target of hate, state sanctioned violence, unfair justice systems, corrupt public institutions, bad healthcare... what will I dooooo?! [/sarcasm]
I didn't ask not one of you motherfuckers to respond to my post on SM on the WWW. There are literally 100m such things an hour that you could have chosen to give your attention to. YOU chose to engage me.
Exactly, my dear. Exactly.
I know. Is that what is happening to trans people? But not black & brown people, not women, not other lbg. Was a desire to play ungendered sports what they rounded up and gassed Jewish women, men, children and old people, for?
Leave your 3rd grade personal *I know you are, but what am I* insults on the playground. Get a real opinion, political & historical education, and grown-up debate skills, and come back and adult with the adults.
And I haven't heard of either one. Good luck getting 80million people to vote for them.
So, the option is... republicans? MmmKay.
We are ALL in it together, yes, but NO, it's not all the same fight.
But, again, body dysphoria kills more than just trans people.
I am, bebè, trust me. 😘 But if you want to e-Bully someone's *feewings* on social media, this gen x, black female born to drug-addicted criminal parents & raised in the ghetto of chicago during the 70-80s, I ain't it. Some of us don't just play gangsters on the interwebs lil mamma. 😉
Stated with no irony whatsoever. Throw almost EVERYONE who is not white hetero xtian male under the bus, INCLUDING TRANS PEOPLE, if they don't commit to all the trans issues yesterday. Got it.
So not trans issues - women's issues, then? Also, elective "life-affirming" treatment *but only for trans ppl* is not "life-saving". 8% of this country has NO medical coverage. Tens of millions don't have dental, vision or mental health care coverage. So again - trans healthcare seems shortsighted.
Things other than life, safety & liberty for anyone definitely have varying priorities. It is not your job to educate me, but I haven't really seen one trans issue that expands civil rights for anyone outside of the less than 1% of the trans population. Some seem to be rights that NO ONE else has.
We don't disagree, here. 80% of the American population is a target to suffer under more republican rule. Which, was my entire point at the START of this conversation "What is the solution to defeat republicans?" Because simply complaining about democrats ain't it. It's actually the opposite.
I don't think Trump's power over the entire republican party, scotus, billionaires, etc. comes from his "irresistible personality", I think it comes from what is in the Epstein (and Diddy's?) case files, & probably applies to some old liberals too. Because the former makes no sense.
“Out of hatred for the cockroach, the ants voted for the insecticide. They all died. including the housefly that didn't even vote!” ~African Proverb #Pinks #Vote
I have been saying this for something like 15 years and I am so tired, folks: the tactics. Of the right. Don't work. For the left. Because their politics are divisive and anti-community. Ours aren't. They win when politics is toxic and vicious. We win by building solidarity.
Guys nothing happened. However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
I do know that you were never able to form a cognitive rebuttal to the actual point in my first reply - that you replied to. So I was never expecting any real debate anyway, bot.
Trans people make up about .6% of the US population and all of those wouldn't be women. Meanwhile whatever y'all call women born women make up 51% of the country's population. They don't have access to life-SAVING healthcare and won't with republicans in charge, but fuk them heuxs, I guess. 😮💨
Do horrific shit to black & brown people & then blame it on other black & brown people. Divide & conquer- straight from chapter one of the colonizer playbook. White men armed and enabled Israel to commit atrocities against Palestinians for 80 years, but sure - it's Kamala's fault. So predictable.
At any number of white men... Hell, Bernie has been in congress for 20 years. The only time yt people seem to care about the plight of black & brown people is when you can use it against other black & brown people. 😒
Maybe if y'all had gotten outraged sooner... 🙄
You think shit got hectic in 2020 and I'm old enough to remember when they were shooting Palestinian kids for slinging rocks with a slingshot in the 80s. But *now* y'all *outraged*, and at the democratic VP, & not the war hawk party.
Tell me you don't know shit about the 80-year-old conflict in Gaza between Israel & Palestine, without telling me you don't know shit about the 80-year-old conflict in Gaza. *hint* America w/Europe established Israel 80 years ago & every American administration has supported them since. 😮💨
You got it chief. 🙄
They literally TELL you how they are manipulating you into thinking you're being revolutionary, and you still think you're being "revolutionary". 🙄😮💨 youtu.be/omc-5zj70M0?...
Propaganda telling Democrats to sit the vote out because "Both parties are evil" or "Your vote doesn't count" or "The Dem candidate is worserrerrr!" is a WINNING Repub strategy. Go watch "The Great Hack" documentary about propaganda campaigns to make liberal voters apathetic, and get back to me.
We love Pritzker, but I swear, no one loves white men (especially old & rich) like progressives, except maybe conservatives. So much so that all the women in the 2020 democratic primary got less than 20% of the vote combined, behind Biden, Bernie and and a 38 y.o. mayor from Indiana. 🙄
I didn't gloss over anything, I said 🗣WHAT 🗣ARE 🗣YOUR 🗣SOLUTIONS to defeat republicans? Unless, like I said, that isn't your goal.
When I tell you it is all about projecting with conservatives - she meant their careers.
The numbers tell a story, (& I'd be happy to hear from others about anything they see) but one glaring thing I see is - propaganda telling Democrats to sit the vote out because "both parties are evil" or "your vote doesn't count" or "the Dem candidate is WORSERRR!" is a winning Republican strategy.
The cognitive dissonance of Progressives throwing women, black & brown people, lgb, disabled, the uninsured, workers & the middle class, under the bus for the .8% of the population that is trans or homeless THAT THEY WILL ALSO BE THROWING UNDER THE BUS if republicans win the WH & congress, is WILD.
The funny thing about this legislation is - yeah, illegal prescription meds are so hard to come by in this country. 🙄 Next thing you know they will be claiming that South American gangs bring abortion drugs across the border. 😮💨 Republicans keep 20th-century solutions to 21st-century issues.
You all have 1-3 years to form your own party and elect your own candidates and leave real democrats the f*k outta your mouth. I read all the replies & you all have no real solutions (or candidates) other than "not that guy"for defeating republicans which is why you all sound like propaganda bots.
To be fair, Chris woulda been the first to say it in the mainstream.
Come to think of it - weren't his jokes about that dude?
Before 'Tossin salads' prison dude?
The real reason men fight to own guns isn't: -Protection from tyranny -Self-defense from strangers w/guns -Hunting It's to terrorize the women, children, & old people in their homes & lives. This is why they don't collect all of the gun-death stats. Many are attributed to suicide & accident.
The entire conservative platform depends on them keeping ALL the white Christian hetero support they have now. They can redistrict to hell, but if enough of those folks abandon them, it won't matter. I'll hold y'all hands when I say this - we need wyt women/youth swing voters to vote their interest.
Guys, I want to warn you that this video gave me shivers. They are talking to us all but a lot of us are not doing the same things that they are saying. We know that we live on stolen land. The party of the ignorant ones still won't admit it. #USDemocracy
Starting to think the reason why he has ordered so much military and LE to DC is that he is hoping someone will keep him from being dragged out of the WH in cuffs.
Anybody check into what company is getting that multi-million dollar government painting contracts? 👀
Say you don't have adolescent kids without saying it... shirts, pants, shorts, socks, shoes, and even underwear. 😭
If you cant see the irony and absurdity of that last statement you probably shouldnt be debating any important issues on-line just yet. Cheney crossed theeee f*cking aisle against her party. Good lort, who raised y'all?
If folks can't see how anti-democrat-candidate "democrats" are propaganda, then lord help us. How does that WORK? 😮💨 That is fair work for the pre-primary convos & campaigns. But once a candidate has secured party nomination against a republican candidate- that's just campaigning for the republican.
You all never offer real solutions for defeating republicans which is why I assume all yoi anti-dem dems are nothing more than propaganda bots.
The cognitive dissonance of Progressives throwing women, black & brown people, lgb, disabled, the uninsured, workers & the middle class, under the bus for the .8% of the population that is trans or homeless THAT THEY WILL ALSO BE THROWING UNDER THE BUS if republicans win the WH & congress, is WILD.
Taking up data space with social media posts raging about AI using too much data space. Mmmkay. Servers house everything you do on the internet. It should have been evident 20 years ago that data storage needed infrastructure. But y'all were too busy warning about the evils of the "internet". 🙄
So you're saying these Mexican ICE & CBP agents will be expelling white people? Please tell me that's what you're saying. 🙏🏽
There are so many issues that Americans want addressed, that cross most demographic lines (age, race, political affiliation, income, gender, sexuality) and yet neither side seems to be able to effectively communicate this without making the issues partisan.
Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.
Everything in their playbook is 20th century. Early 20th century at that. People deserve better.
This is so beautiful of Kamala to reach out like this #USDemocracy
After what y'all put black people through to FINALLY get the vote (lynchings, bombings, jail, murdering activists, Jim Crow laws, water hoses etc.) don't embarrass yourselves by asking us to NOT vote or to throw our vote away on some unelectable 3rd party candidate. It is gaslighting at its finest.
The thing about supposed liberals saying they would never vote for this or that dem is - y'all got the government you *didn't* vote for this time and now you are mad that they are absolutely shitting on you specifically. But it's still your strategy & you will get it the next time, too. Enjoy. 🤷🏾♀️
I would recommend watching the entire documentary "The Great Hack". The Cambridge Analytica company reps had to testify before Congress about their tactics and election interference using Social Media to make young liberals apathetic. Everytime i see someone sh*tting on dems I assume they are ops. 🤷🏾♀️
By badmouth dems & saying officials need to go without offering a viable dem alternative/candidate you are not offering anything other than them losing to a republican. This was the exact social media propaganda strategy used in global campaigns to discourage liberal voters. youtu.be/omc-5zj70M0?...
I don't think it is time for the blue states to secede from these United States. I think it's time for us to drop the dead weight of red states, and let them figure it out. How do we recind statehood?
If you ask folks "why" people do things like this most people will say it's "morals"(ppl are just bad, mean & hurtful). But the truth of 'why' is that our cultural/social expectations of romantic adult relationships are absolutely unnatural, illogical & do not make society better by any measure.
The problem with fixing US racism & misogyny is that we don't have a model of what "fairness" looks like in society. It is not everyone being treated like rich white men - they aren't treated "fairly", they are coddled. No one is treated based solely on their merit & abilities in this country.
