Leftists: Our shitty candidates arent winning with Dems so we are going to trash all their candidates and support people just left of the right wing and claim they are progressives. Because we are too stupid to admit we were wrong.

I really don't know how this nation will survive. I'm seeing white people running around yelling about "this is a national emergency!" and demanding us all to "unite" when it was them and their cohort who have gotten us to this pass since the 60s. And I'm done with holding their hands.

I am actually glad Obama said this. Pay attention to what he says. Close attention

I’m for a combination system of capitalism with socialism programs.
Extremism always hurts a group deemed the outsiders.

Life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness should never exclude anyone but it has different forms for everyone too.

Being mad somebody brought up politics at Jesse Jackson’s homegoing service is like being mad somebody put butter in the poundcake.

When I was reading the book Power for all by Julie Batillana and Tiziana Casciaro some weeks back, there was a quote that said

β€œPower doesn’t go away, it just switches hands

Read that again and ponder it and sit with it!

The brain is an organ. Mental illnesses are
illnesses of that organ. Brain scans show
that there is a physical difference between
a healthy brain and a sick brain. Telling
someone "You're not really sick. It's all in your
head." is like telling someone with asthma "It's
not real, it's all in your lungs." The brain is an
organ that can malfunction as much as any
other organ.

Mental Health is important, and mental illness is no joke.

Too many people are too dismissive about this entire topic.

Educate yourself, and don't be a dick. There are people hurting and suffering, in a society that barely cares about physical healthcare, let alone mental healthcare.

Be kind.

Put simply, he’s as immature and ignorant as his boss. Such people should never be in charge of anything.

β€œthe cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

Every Republican/Trump admin official who uses the words "kinetic," "warfighter" or "lethality" should have their lips welded together with a glue gun.

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

Why are so many people acting like any of this is normal?

2 hours of voting ballots are being held and probably won’t be counted.

People literally had their right to cast their vote taken away and alleged democrats are taking victory laps because Black Voters were disenfranchised?

It’s the new mantra of the fauxgressive clan. The same folks who claimed they voted for Harris, are now loudly and wrongly regurgitating the lie that Black & women candidates aren’t electable. The truth is.. any candidate can win, if white folks actually exercised their power to vote for them.

Am I wrong??? This person is FB friends with mutuals who are in the Hillary-Kamala camp yet she is another white woman expecting us to lie on our backs, look at the ceiling, and think of the Queen while continuing to get fucked by the patriarchy.

This. I'm living in a city that spends about six weeks cranking itself up for St. Patrick's Day and absolutely no one thinks a second thought about it

Black people are not allowed to talk amongst themselves without white people feeling its their duty to police those conversations. The response from white people to this statement by Kamala Harris is an example. Those responses to her statement are also a glowing example of hit dogs hollering.

White people didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. to have him lie in state at the capitol like Billy Graham. They didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to air his funeral on national TV.

But they still feel its their duty to police the speeches at his funeral.

They don't want Black people to be happy
They don't want Black people to be sad
They don't see Black people as people
